Riot Games is set to expand the League of Legends universe with several spin-off titles slated for release in 2025. These upcoming games aim to diversify Riot’s portfolio and offer fans new experiences within the beloved universe of Runeterra.
Upcoming League of Legends Spin-Off Games
LoL Esports Manager
This mobile-exclusive title places players in the role of an esports team manager. Featuring gacha mechanics, users can draft professional players, compete in virtual leagues, and strategize bans and picks. While a beta version launched in China in 2022, Riot has yet to announce global release plans.
2XKO – The Tag-Team Fighter
Riot’s first major fighting game introduces League champions to the arena with a unique 2v2 tag-team system. Players can switch between two selected champions during matches, creating dynamic team combos. This free-to-play title will mark Riot’s console debut, launching simultaneously on PlayStation 5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S in 2025.
Project F
One of Riot’s more enigmatic projects, this Diablo-style action RPG was first teased in 2019. Set in the League universe, it is expected to feature loot-driven, isometric combat progression. Development updates have been limited, but insiders suggest the game remains in active production.
Untitled League of Legends MMORPG
Set in Runeterra, Riot’s MMORPG underwent a development reboot in early 2024 to distinguish itself from competitors. Although the release is still years away, developers confirmed during Worlds 2024 that the project is progressing well and promises a fresh take on the genre.
Impact on the League of Legends Universe
Riot’s expansion strategy demonstrates a clear ambition to compete across multiple gaming genres. The simultaneous console release of 2XKO signals a new approach, aiming to transform Riot into a multi-genre powerhouse and diversify its offerings beyond PC games
