Riot Games, the developer of League of Legends (LoL), announced in Singapore  multiple new game titles and projects in development during a global stream celebrating LoL's 10th year anniversary. Riot Games is best known for League of Legends, a multiplayer online battle arena game and the company's flagship product. The game was first released in October 2009 and subsequently became the game with the highest active player count by 2013. League of Legends  is the most-played PC game in the world, with over 100 million monthly active players.

In addition to hosting a celebration event in Singapore, Riot also hosted celebration events around the world in Bogota (Colombia), Buenos Aires (Argentina), Istanbul (Turkey), Lima (Peru), London (United Kingdom), Los Angeles (United States), Madrid (Spain), Mexico City (Mexico), Moscow (Russia), Santiago (Chile), São Paulo (Brazil), Seoul (South Korea), Shanghai (China), Sydney (Australia), and Tokyo (Japan).
Major announcements included introducing a new champion to the Rift, Senna. Originally one of the many souls trapped in Thresh’s lantern and a fan favorite since her introduction in Lucian's story, Senna is the newest support to join LoL’s roster of more than 140 champions and will uniquely embody a marksman-like playstyle.
She will hit the Public Beta Environment on October 30th and live servers on November 10th.
Additionally, all Riot products will begin gradually supporting Arabic language.
As a thank you to all players who've set foot on the Rift, for 10 days starting October 17th, all players with accounts made prior to October 16th at 9 AM (GMT +8) will receive an in-game gift every day they log in and play a game, in the lead up to the actual LoL anniversary date of October 27th.

Teamfight Tactics Mobile and Rise of the Elements
Riot’s popular autobattler, Teamfight Tactics, is coming to mobile in Q1 2020 with pre-registration on the Google Play Store starting on October 16th.
TFT is an eight person free-for-all strategy game where players strategize with LoL champions and items to defeat the seven other players in each match.
To utilize the wide breadth of lore, champions, and thematics in the LoL universe, TFT on both PC and mobile will release new sets of champions and abilities every three to four months.
The second set to launch in TFT for PC will be called Rise of the Elements and will feature content themed around the elementals, giving players opportunities to create new and interesting strategies with other, not-yet-seen, characters and items. Rise of the Elements will be released on November 5th in the LoL client.
Legends of Runeterra
Legends of Runeterra (LoR) is a free-to-play strategy card game set in the world of LoL.
LoR features cards based on the iconic champions of LoL, as well as new characters and allies hailing from the regions of Runeterra, each with their own style and strategic advantage.
LoR’s gameplay is built around dynamic, alternating combat that demands players use their skill, creativity, and cleverness to succeed.
LoR offers players multiple options to acquire cards, including both robust free-to-play options and the ability to directly purchase any card with either earned or paid currency.
LoR will be fully launched in 2020 for PC and mobile and is now open for pre-registration.
League of Legends: Wild Rift
League of Legends: Wild Rift is a new 5v5 MOBA for mobile and console. It features much of the same gameplay as LoL on PC, adapted for new platforms.
Wild Rift has a new twin-stick control scheme and a rebuilt Rift designed for 15-18 minute games.
Wild Rift is not a port of LoL on PC -- it is a new game built from scratch to ensure it is a polished, legitimate LoL experience that's worth players' time.
League of Legends: Wild Rift will launch on mobile in 2020, and pre-registration on the Google Play Store is now available.
Riot Games also looked back at memorable moments and glimpse of the future including a first look at this year's preseason changes and Teamfight Tactics as next big content update.
Everyday LoL sees approximately 8 million peak concurrent players making it the biggest PC game in the world.
Also announced is the new animated series titled "ARCANE" that will soon be launched in 2020.
ARCANE is a League of Legends animated series developed and produced by Riot Games set in utopian Piltover and the oppressed underground of Zaun, the story follows the origins of two iconic League champions—and the power that will tear them apart.
Philippine gamers and streamers Gloco, Suzzysaur, and Riku PH were also invited to witness the major announcements and to be the first to play and test Wild Rift and the Legends of Runeterra.
Founded by Brandon Beck and Marc Merrill, Riot is headquartered in Los Angeles, California, and has 2,500+ Rioters in 20+ offices worldwide. Riot has been featured on numerous lists including Fortune’s “100 Best Companies to Work For,” “25 Best Companies to Work in Technology,” “100 Best Workplaces for Millennials,” and “50 Best Workplaces for Flexibility.”
