A Riot's extrabajador talks about League of Legends 2

Ryan K. Rigney led the Riot Games Communication Department globally for more than two years and now he wanted Of course there is no secret project and has been very pessimistic about the situation, ensuring that there is only a possible scenario in which such a thing could happen. According to him, it would be convert rift in the main version of League of Legends. Something that, despite everything, he sees very unlikely to require an unimaginably huge amount of work.

The truth is that Ryan shares an opinion with the vast majority of developers. Although a sequel could be beneficial in terms of quality, it is a great investment of efforts that virtually no developer could assume. A clear example is that of Overwatch, which neglected the main game for months to create a second edition that has not made the game recover the popularity lost along the way. In fact, Riot Games extrabajador cites them as an example : Why create League of Legends 2? To achieve the same increase in popularity as Overwatch 2? It is (an idea) difficult to sell.

It is true that the characters could be better or that some currently impossible skills could reach the video game. However, the balance between the cost and the possible reward makes it an option that does not go from being a fantasy in the community's mind. Not surprisingly, the game has reached in recent months its greatest interest peaks of the last five years .

Keep in mind that Riot Games has only had to reverse due to technical limitations with a vex skill and normally compensates for additional difficulties to create some hard work skills. This is the case of Sylas, who was the most difficult character to create in the history of the game. Even models could be more detailed and beautiful in the style of Wild Rift. If they look ugly, it is because of the developer's obsession to maintain the minimum requirements of League of Legends as low as possible and not because the graphic engine cannot support it. In short, A sequel is not even necessary .
