Riot Games, Inc. is a Los Angeles, California-based American video game developer, publisher, and eSports tournament organizer. Brandon Beck and Marc Merrill founded it in September 2006 with the goal of creating “League of Legends.”
It later developed a number of spin-off games and the unrelated first-person shooter game “Valorant.”. Tencent, a Chinese conglomerate, purchased Riot Games in 2011.
The creation of League of Legends spin-offs by other developers is managed by Riot Forge, the publishing division of Riot Games.
The business and Fortiche collaborated to publish the television show Arcane, which is set in the League of Legends universe. Riot Games runs the League of Legends World Championship, the Valorant Champions Tour, and twelve international League of Legends esports leagues.
The business, which as of 2023 had 20 offices worldwide, offers its leagues streaming rights, merchandise, and corporate sponsorships.
Last year, India-origin Dylan Jadeja was appointed as the company’s new Chief Executing Officer (CEO).
