global audience. Riot’s commitment to player feedback and continuous content updates has cemented LoL as a dominant title in the gaming
industry.
• Expansion of the Riot Universe
• Building on the success of LoL, Riot Games has expanded its portfolio. In 2020, Riot released Valorant, a tactical first-person shooter (FPS) that has
become a major competitor in the FPS genre. Riot also developed other titles within the LoL universe, including Legends of Runeterra (a card
game), Teamfight Tactics (an auto-battler), and League of Legends: Wild Rift, a mobile version of the original game. These expansions showcase

Legends, premiered on Netflix in 2021 to critical and commercial acclaim. The series introduced the game’s lore and characters to a broader
