League of Legends studio Riot teases new games

Riot Games is sort of a misnomer. After all, the studio only has the one game with its megapopular and lucrative multiplayer online battle arena League of Legends. That Riot Game, singular, has paid the bills (and generated hundreds of millions of dollars per year) and enabled the developer to grow to 2,500 people. But after years of success, the company has begun teasing something new.

“In our view the ‘S’ in Riot Games is aspirational,” Riot cofounder Marc Merrill said in an interview with Variety. “The reality at Riot is that we are exploring lots of different games. We have a whole bunch of R&D teams exploring different opportunities that we think would resonate with players.”
