Riot Games, developer of League of Legends recently announced Riot Forge in an effort to introduce single player project sets in the League of Legends universe, which would be developed by other developers.
The studio quite recently announced it plans to move beyond the mega- MOBA League of Legends . To enter into different arrays of gaming like a fighting game, an FPS, a card game and even a management sim. All these efforts were being made to broaden the appeal and popularity of LoL. The Riot Forge programe will help to create “bespoke games that enable players of all types to experience League in new and exciting ways.”
And it was confirmed that Darksider Genesis developers Airship Syndicate will publish the first game under the Riot Forge publishing programme.
Announcing at the Game Awards, the first Riot Forge published game will be Ruined King: A League of Legends Story. Outsourced by the original developers to Airship Syndicate.
Though still in it early days. The studio’s FAQ said that “When they’re a little further along, we’ll announce the games that they are making.”
Joe Madureira, Airship Syndicate CEO, said that they have developed , “a new take” on turn based combat. He added that Ruin King would be a turn based RPG set after Burning Tides.
Fans and players across the globe aren’t sure of what the new game could bring to the table.
But are excited to experience the new turn based combat format. Players will play as LoL champions as they explore Bilgewater and the Shadow Isles.
There has been no announcement for the release date of the game, though the trailer has been released. An official site for the game has also been released to keep the fans updated.
The initiative is somewhat reminiscent to the development of Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer. Featuring The Legend of Zelda , which was released in 2019 with a rhythm roguelike essence to it. It was developed by Crypt of the Necrodancer studio Brace Yourself Games and published by Nintendo. Though not an obvious crossover and something entirely unexpected from Nintendo. The game came off pretty good and proved to be a master stroke.
