Riot Games has made a number of major publications in the last year that have rightly earned it this title.
Valorant, the massively popular 5v5 competitive shooter game, was released in 2020 and is soon going to hold the Valorant Champions in Berlin next month. The game also won the 'Game of the Year' title at the Esports Awards 2021.
Other popular IPs include League of Legends: Wild Rift, and Legends of Runeterra.
The publisher's foray into animated series has also been met with huge success. Arcane, set in the world of League of Legends, recently ended season 1 and has been promptly renewed for another.
Riot also published two further games set in the League of Legends world, Ruined King, and Hextech Mayhem.
In Esports Awards 2021, the publisher further managed to bag the 'Broadcast/Production Team of the Year' award.
Riot has consistently maintained high quality in creating fresh stories and worlds for the players to dive into. These awards justly recognize those efforts.
