Riot Games has begun a global scaling policy and is opening brand new offices around the world. Laurent is taking that last bit seriously. 'Together with players, we want to establish gaming as the center of global entertainment.' 'Today, there are more players enjoying our games worldwide than ever before, validating our confidence in the League of Legends IP as we begin a new era with the launch of Arcane,' Riot's CEO Nicolo Laurent said, in a written statement.

In October Riot measured over 180 million active users playing in the League of Legends universe, a record number for the company. In a statement announcing League of Legend's RiotX Arcane event, Riot said that they had recorded an all-time high of users for their signature game. But for those who don't know, League of Legends is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) developed and published by Los Angeles-based Riot Games.

It was a different era - a time when Bitcoin was not a thing, when Instagram was not yet invented, and Barack Obama was nine months into his presidency having taken over from George 'Dubya' Bush. It's a far cry from when League first dropped into people's lives, all the way back in October 2009. But it's not all been without controversy. League of Legends - known as League, for short - has also taken steps beyond the world of videogames, spawning a franchise that encompasses TV shows and collaborations. League of Legends is a major force in videogames, dominating online multplayer and especially esports.
