Riot Games is working with Chinese tech company Tencent to bring League of Legends to mobile.
League of Legends has about 150 million users worldwide making it one of the biggest online games ever created.
The information first came out in a report from Reuters.
Sources say that the game probably won’t be coming out this year. The mobile version also won’t be a port of the main game, but a different game altogether. However, the game still has a feel similar to the original.
The game will have different weapons, runes, and fewer characters.
The move to mobile appears to be an attempt to make more money from the Chinese audience, where the game is quite popular. According to the article, mobile games account for more than half of China’s video game revenue.
We’re excited to see the game come to mobile, we’re just hoping it has the same look and feel of the original game.
Details are very minimal as of now, but we will be sure to keep you updated as they come pouring in!
