The Rise and Fall of Riot Forge: What Went Wrong?

#BeyondTheNexus #RiotForge #RiotGames
League of Legends unleashed a vibrant side project called Riot Forge. Imagine a portal opening up, not to the Summoner's Rift, but to a treasure trove of single-player adventures in Runeterra. Riot Forge collaborated with talented indies, birthing six unique games like Ruined King's epic RPG journey or Song of Nunu's heartwarming exploration. Each title expanded the League of Legends universe, offering fresh perspectives on beloved champions and lore. Sadly, the portal closed in early 2024. While critically acclaimed, the games commercially fizzled, forcing Riot to refocus on core titles. Though the future of single-player League adventures remains uncertain, Riot Forge's legacy lives on, a testament to the creative potential that bloomed beyond the battlefield.
