Riot Games acquires Wargaming Sydney for live service resources

League of Legends and Valorant developer Riot Games has acquired Wargaming’s Sydney studio. The newly rebranded Riot Sydney will leverage the development team’s expertise in live service games infrastructure.

Riot focuses on live service titles, so an acquisition from a developer with a similar free-to-play model makes sense. Wargaming is known for its competitive war vehicle combat MMOs like World of Tanks and World of Warships. The Sydney studio’s experience developing for live service titles will help Riot continue delivering consistent content to fans.
