Our Origin Story

In 2019 Kudos teamed up with Riot Games to build a brand new studio with a single mission: To make awesome stuff for Riot's games.

Since then, our cross-discipline teams have gone on to make some of the best new content and features for Riot's games, expanding the Riot universe with new characters and worlds.

We aspire to be the most artist-focused studio in the world, creating an environment where the top tier of talent can focus on honing their skills and leveraging their creative potential to make outstanding experiences for Riot's players.
