Project A, Project F and Project L

If you think that’s everything, boy you are wrong. Riot Games announced three more, yet unnamed, games that will launch next year. Project A is a tactical shooter for PC, similar to Overwatch, Project L is a fighting game using League of Legends characters while Project A is “a very early development project that explores the possibilities of traversing the world of Runeterra with your friends.” So maybe an MMO?

Arcane Animated Series – From Riot Games to Riot Studios?

Riot Games has a history of flirting with other mediums for it’s lore ( see the LOL-inspired Marvel comics) but with Arcane, the publisher took its first steps towards becoming a full-fledged entertainment powerhouse. Arcane is an animated show created for television that will be developed in-house, and animated by Fortiche Productions. There’s not a lot of information regarding the new series but from the trailer above it seems the main story will revolve around Vi and Jinx and potentially other characters native to the progressive city of Piltover. If that’s the case, expect to see the likes of Camille, Caitlyn, Ezreal, Jayce, Ekko, Twitch and Blitzcrank getting their own time “on screen”.
