Riot Games har annonceret at de har overtaget Wargaming's Sydney studie, som en del af en plan om at udvide udviklerens muligheder for at producere online spil, også kaldet live games. Det betyder at studiet nu hedder Riot Sidney, men ellers fortsætter tingene i grove træk som hidtil hvad de eksterne rammer angår.
"We are really excited to bring these talented developers and teams to Riot," said Marc Merrill, co-founder, and president of Riot Games. "The Rioters that have had the opportunity to work with members of the Sydney team are confident not only in the tech they've built over the years but, more importantly, in the people who've built it. Naz (Naresh Hirani, Head of Development, Riot Sydney) and the dev teams at the studio have a long history of working in ways that will complement Riot's ability to deliver value to our players and we really look forward to collaborating with them."
Vi må antage at formålet er at styrke udviklingen af League of Legends, Valorant, og den tekniske formåen hos Riot. Studiet skal styrke både deres formåen internationalt såvel som hjælpe med spiludviklingnen i Australien.
Der er ingen nærmere detaljer omkring finansieringen af købet.
