Riot Games, best known for the MOBA game League of Legends, and developer Radiant Entertainment have announced a new fighting game. Co-founder of the Evolution Championship Series Tom Cannon announced the game at EVO 2019. A title or platforms on the game was not announced.
"Back in 2016, when we joined forces with Riot, I said we were going to go in the hole for a while, right?" Cannon said. "I wanted to let people in on maybe the worst kept secret in the universe, which is that I can confirm we are working on a fighting game for Riot."
"We have experienced the profound impact this genre can have on players and want to bring the fighting game experience to more people," Riot said in a statement to IGN. "We’re working hard to create a game truly worthy of the vibrant fighting game community and are making progress, but still have a long way to go before we’re ready to share more details."
Riot Games acquired developer Radiant Entertainment in 2016.

A fighting game with the LoL characters could be cool, but I shudder to think how they'll monetise it.
THis actually irks the living hell out of me, primarily because of a fighting game, designed for PC player was in the works a few years ago, but then Riot was told to buy them up, and they shut down the project.
This sounds like it could be PC based, but if it is, I will be beyond livid at this, because the fighting game they had shut down was perfect and one I was wanting to try out.
Riot makes so much money with league of legends they don't even need another title, I am surprised they are finally making new ips.
