Hey folks!

We’re super excited to have just announced Riot Forge last week, and even more excited to share the teaser for our first two games, Ruined King: A League of Legends Story and CONV/RGENCE: A League of Legends Story!

ICYMI, Riot Forge is a new player- and developer-focused publisher and we’re partnering with talented 3rd party developers to bring you awesome, bespoke “completable” League games. You can learn more about what we’re up to at www.riotforgegames.com.

We’ve partnered with Airship Syndicate to develop our first game, Ruined King: A League of Legends Story, which is a single player story-driven, turn-based RPG. Watch the teaser for it which aired during The Game Awards! It’s set after the events of Burning Tides and we can’t wait for players to finally be able to truly immerse themselves and explore the bustling city of Bilgewater and the mysterious Shadow Isles in a game for the first time. It’s coming to consoles and PC and we’ll share more in 2020 but in the meantime visit www.ruinedking.com to make sure you have the latest info.

For our second title, CONV/RGENCE: A League of Legends Story, we’re working with Double Stallion Games. You can also watch the teaser which aired during The Game Awards as well. This will be a single player action platformer starring Ekko! The team at Double Stallion has an amazing take on Zaun and we can’t wait for you to experience it. It’s also coming to consoles and PC. Visit www.convrgencegame.com to make sure you have the most up to date information.

We still have a ways to go and we’ll be sharing a lot more details as we get closer to launching both of these games but if you’d like to learn more about what we’re doing, check out the team’s post on Nexus!

I'm excited to hear about a turn based game from riot, I can't wait to see the astonishingly fleshed out lore from league get a great medium like single player games.

Lol yep. Most telling statement was "astonishingly fleshed out lore". Was a good laugh though.

Why did I laff at this?

because the ruined king telling Ekko to hold his beer is believable at this point

Nah I'm not buying anything until you fix the client and matchmaking system

AxaeonDec 14, 20197 votes

Most likely these games won't be on the client, also these people have nothing to do with league itself. They are all secrete studios. xd and let me guess you a jg main?

MasterDCloneDec 16, 20194 votes

what does airship syndicate and double stallion games have to do with the client and matchmaking system lol.

These look hella lit and I don’t usually play these types of games lol. I’m excited to see what the polished product is!

kittylover111Dec 14, 20195 votes

How about you balance your only game, fix matchmaking, etc. these games are gonna be more trash than what LoL has become.

ChillyTouchDec 16, 20197 votes

No one is making you play the "trash" game. Go play something else if it upsets you that much.

MasterDCloneDec 16, 20196 votes

Yo so you evidently don't seem to be able to read because these games are being made through 3rd party developers and not riot themselves. Unless your saying that airship syndicate and double stallion games are the developers making league of legends. Riot is the publisher of these games.

Instead of doing this why don't they respond to the community and fix this game and the client. Jesus Christ.

I hope the RPG has Final Fantasy 10's or the SNES~PS1 FF's era (aka ATB) turn system.

Those were some of my favorites.

League of legends concept came from Dota, on WC3! League is great. League should make a game styled after RISK on WC3!!!! It is my dream make it a reality riot!!!!!

DrTeathDec 21, 20191 votes

Dota Started as a Starcraft map, actually.

fakewaterwalkerDec 19, 20192 votes

Really hope they are built with the same spaghetti code as league, would break my immersion. I kid, 'maybe', hype.

I'm so confused that Ekko's ability is just to make only himself travel back to the past not any other objects, so why all the animations or stories of Ekko are showing how he makes the other people/objects travel back to the past. [sg-lux-2] [slayer-jinx-unamused]

Turn based sounds fun but imagine a league based assassins creed/god of war type game, third person action singe player game would be an instant buy from me. Of course would take awhile to make and they already have lots of other games there working on but thought of it is cool.
