One that after years only had a BOARD GAME to show. Not that I am complaining but... IF I HAD FRIENDS TO PLAY BOARDGAMES WITH I WOULDN'T BE WASTING MY LIFE IN THIS SALTMINE THAT THIS GAME IS. Heck, I don't even have friends to play LEAGUE with anymore as they all quitted or dropped the game for various reasons.
So either this team is horribly underfunded or they are really taking their time - but with what?
Warlord Scrap1 votesTheyres been quite a few rumors over time including a card game called supremecy. Also r+d is more than just games its ecerythinh. Including riot stating they were working on there own isp.
SaltyToplaneGoat1 votesA CARD game? As a recently relapsed MTG player I am highly sceptical. So many, many studios have thought they could ride the TCG wave, and even Blizzard is not exactly doing well with Hearthstone, or at least the extremly high RNG of it makes everyone disregard it as "that weird causual thing, but nothing you want for in a REAL game". And at the same time one has to worry not to copy MTG or Yugioh too much or you look like a cheap rippoff.
If they can pull it off I'm impressed, however my hopes are not exactly high...
Warlord Scrap1 voteswhy i said few rumors not much ever surfaced and its while never being officially canceled is canceled. Look it up it seems like it lost to hearthstone's release so they dropped it but they did renew the rights to the name about a year ago.
Unpaladin1 votesWell, there's the rumored Riot fighting game they were producing. No one knows for sure if it got cancelled or not, but they still bought out the Rising Thunder devteam I hear.
SaltyToplaneGoat1 votesTbh I think it's cancelled. Fighting games often only carter to a VERY NICHE audience, and the moment they attempt to get "casual", they are left in the dust as they are deemed not "authentic enough". Picking something like that for a second game is... well, not exactly a wise choice I think.
DrCyanide1 votesThe Riot API has made some recent changes to accommodate multiple games, most notably the transition from Summoner ID to Account ID for looking up players. There's also a handful of small games that have hit (Blitzcranks Poro Roundup) and the mobile app.
Not everything an R&D team does results in a new product, sometimes it's finding better ways to make/use your existing product.
