First partner (and potential game) will be announced at the Game Awards, by the way
It's such a relief to finally be able to talk (albeit limited) about what you're working on. Couldn't be more proud for the partners we're working with too.
I'm so hyped for the TGA's this year. :D Can't wait!
Where does it say singleplayer games exclusively?
We're keeping to single player experiences right now, but we're huge fans of co-op games and they're equally great at immersing you in the world, so we'd love to do one in the future and it's in the realm of possibility. /u/Chillingo has got it right - completable is a way to say non-pvp/MMO experiences.
Dating sim when?
Rek'sai waifu gacha game. Noted. We hear you, Reddit.
....I know this is mostly focused on indie, but will big studios be given a crack at it? FromSoft, for example? ;D
We'd love to work on a big title at some point, but for now we need to build our muscles publishing some smaller games before we take on something like that.
Void screeches
Plz mark NSFW with that kind of dirty talk.
This could be f**king massive for Riot. Holy shit, this could be an absolute gold mine. It's literally free money, smaller devs will want to take advantage of League's massive fanbase to put themselves on the map and Riot just has to sit back and collect a check while they do the work. It's f**king crazy how they did nothing with the IP for 10 years and now all of a sudden are doing ALL THE THINGS at once.
I do want to be fair - a number of Rioters have been working for years on enabling us to do things like this. We wouldn't be able to launch Forge without the years of work internally on the IP
Where’s your Rioter flair? I thought every Rioter gets one on this sub?
Great question - I'm trying to find out. Used to have it, but it sounds like new reddit caused some issues.
Or Metal Gear Rising. The Sword-play was amazing in that game.
Be still my heart.
