Riot Games Acquires Wargaming Sydney Studio

Riot Games has officially acquired Wargaming’s Sydney development studio and will be rebranded as Riot Sydney where it will assist development on titles such as League of Legends and Valorant, according to an official announcement.

Additionally, Wargaming will still own and develop the BigWorld server technology.

Molly Mason-Boule, Riot’s head of development studios, will oversee the newly renamed developer.

“We are really excited to bring these talented developers and teams to Riot,” said co-founder and president of games Marc Merrill.

“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.”
