Riot Games was established in 2006 by entrepreneurial gamers who believe that player-focused development leads to exceptional games. In 2009, Riot released its debut title League of Legends to critical and player acclaim. Since then, Riot has expanded its portfolio and studios globally, continuing to create games that inspire and connect players around the world.
