As a heavy digital card game player, I've seen many projects rise and fall. Every IP in existence from Fable to Elder Scrolls to DOTA can get a card game these days, and in the face of adversity (read: mostly Hearthstone...

Riot Games recently formed a publishing label called Riot Forge, and it just lifted the veil on the biggest title in the lineup. As rumors have suggested, there's going to be a League of Legends singleplayer game. It's called Ruined K...

Riot Games has a lot on their plate. More Champions are coming to League as we speak, and a ton of games are in the pipeline. As in, a mobile version of their Auto-Battler, a fighting game, a card game, an action-oriented version ...

DJMax Respect catapulted onto the scene in 2018 on PS4, and cemented itself as one of the modern rhythm greats. Amid some recent half-baked efforts with scant tracklists, Respect was a powerhouse, offering over 100 songs and a lit...

Riot Games will collectively pay out at least $10 million USD to every woman employee who has worked for the League of Legends developer for the last five years. The payout, reported to be one of the largest in Californian history for such ...

2019 saw the release of four Champions for League of Legends thus far, a step up from 2018's three, and that's just dealing with League of Legends. Outside of their main cash cow, Riot is working hard on constantly updating the Auto-Ba...

Begun, the Auto Chess wars have. Although a lot of you are sitting in the backseat of this rising phenomenon, calling it a fad, it's still rising. Riot Games has invested heavily in it, banking that it will succeed, with their in-client Lea...

Riot Games, developer of the insanely popular League of Legends, has released a video looking at ten years of development that has gone into creating the MOBA title. As part of the video, we also get our very first look at the previously-te...

It feels like just yesterday when I was running Ryze trying for Pentakills while a friend of mine ran Fiddlesticks in mid. If that's gibberish to you I completely understand, as not everyone has played League of Legends, much less all the w...

League of Legends has earned a lot of cachet over years, and is in part responsible for the worldwide rise of eSports. You could argue that it's already had its due with multiple documentaries, specials, and general interest (and tired) "eS...

Auto Chess is on the rise, and as is typical of Riot Games, the studio immediately swooped in and started to take advantage of it with their take on the subgenre, Teamfight Tactics. It's no surprise that given the high amount of polish it's...

At the start of May, employees at League of Legends developer Riot Games held a protest at the studio to oppose (among other factors) Forced Arbitration of staff, a contract clause that - succinctly - makes it nigh-on impossible for interna...

Yesterday, over 150 employees walked out of Riot Games' offices in Los Angeles to hold a "down tools"-style protest over the League of Legends publishers handling of recent discrimination lawsuits. The protest was also directed at the compa...

League of Legends' Ahri, Evelynn, [relative newcomer] Kai'Sa and Akali blew up YouTube last week as Riot Games dropped the "POP/STARS" music video. Enamoring players and non-players alike, the video of course was an elaborate commercial for...

Riot might have cemented 5v5 as their bread and butter format for League of Legends, but they're not afraid to experiment with various PVP and PVE modes. Some pass the smell test (ARAM), and some don't (RIP Dominion). Either way every so of...

Riot has always experimented with various gametypes in League of Legends, trying to find that sweet spot where folks will want to take a break from the core 5v5 experience while retaining a healthy queue time. ARAM (all-random all-middle) m...

If there was ever any doubt that esports has taken China by storm, then the finals of this year's Mid-Season Invitational for League of Legends shatters all such questions. eSports Charts, a website collecting data and analytics on esports ...

Mechs vs. Minions is one of the most entertaining board games that's hit my tabletop in some time. If you haven't heard of it the gist is that four players take control of various characters from the League of Legends franchise and do ...

Battle royales are the next big thing. For a minute there it was MMOs (around the time when World of Warcraft was hosting its second expansion) and then it was MOBAs. The next-big-thing phenomenon I'm referring to isn't necessarily ind...

A new report from market research group SuperData claims that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds earned over $700 million USD in 2017. While the game officially launched in December, its early access release was in March, so it had roughly nine ...

Tyler1, a notorious League of Legends player, hadn't been playing much League lately. Ever since 2016, Tyler1 had been ID banned by Riot for conduct that can be described as toxic and detrimental to the community. Riot actual...

I've heard the phrase "that's it, 1v1, heads-up!" so many times when it comes to video games, mostly with the Halo series. You don't normally think that it's a thing for professional League of Legends players, but there actua...

As always, I like to keep up with League of Legends despite the fact that I also play several other MOBAs. It just consistently delivers when it comes to new characters, even if it becomes increasingly difficult to balance them all. With Zo...

Matthew "Nadeshot" Haag has a big reason to celebrate this week -- Dan Gilbert, Cleveland Cavaliers owner, just put in a "multi-million dollar" investment into his eSports team, "100 Thieves." Haag started the team last year, primarily as a...
