Beyond its major titles, League of Legends and Valorant, Riot continues to expand the universe of its famous MOBA through transmedia projects, but also the development of new games, and the latest announcements made by the Riot label. Forge are also very positive at this level.
Three new games published by Riot Forge will be released this year
It was through a one-minute trailer that Riot Forge Games, Riot’s independent studio label, unveiled three new projects planned for this year. After releasing the platformer Hextech Mayhem and the excellent turn-based RPG Ruined King in 2021, the label returns with three unreleased titles: Song of Nunu, Convergence and The Mage Seaker, all three being League of Legends Stories.
Based on early previews, Song of Nunu could be a single-player game focused on champions Nunu and Willump. The latter should fight together, but it is difficult to know exactly what it will return to now. This game will be developed by Tequila Works ( ) and will be released this fall.
In a second step, we find Convergence which will be developed by Double Stallion. This title should be a 2D platformer exploiting a rather cartoonish artistic direction. Echo will also be the main champion of this game scheduled for this summer of 2023.
Finally, we discover The Mage Seeker, a title resembling an action-RPG with cartoonish artistic direction and developed by the talented Spanish studio Digital Sun. The mage Sylas will be the protagonist of the title and it is clear that there are things to be exploited around his flagship ability being spell stealing. See you in the spring to discover The Mage Seeker.
It’s great to see Riot continue to develop new and original projects with its Riot Forge label. This is the perfect opportunity to expand and deepen the lore of League of Legends while harnessing the talents, ideas and skills of independent studios.
