Riot Games to Take Over Publishing of League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics in Southeast Asia
Riot Games, the developers of popular games like League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics, will be taking over the publishing rights for these games in Southeast Asia starting January 2023. This move comes after a 12-year partnership with Garena, who previously published the games in the region.
Riot Games Announces Transition in a Blog Post
Riot Games made the announcement in a blog post on their website, stating that the transition from Garena to Riot Games will be completed by January 2023. The blog post provides further details about this change and what it means for players in Southeast Asia.
Riot’s Increased Presence in Southeast Asia
Riot Games has also announced plans to increase their presence in Southeast Asia by establishing offices in countries like the Philippines and Indonesia. This move shows their commitment to the region and their desire to provide better support for players.
The migration of accounts from Garena to Riot will begin on November 19, 2022. Riot Games and Garena will be working closely together to ensure a smooth transition for players.
Smooth Account Transfer Process
During the transfer process, players can expect to have their skins, rank, riot points, and level fully intact. However, it’s important to note that friend lists may not appear complete initially if your friends have not yet transferred their accounts.
It is crucial to migrate your account before December 31, as the Garena League account will no longer be active after that date. Failure to migrate your account by the deadline may result in the deletion of your account and the loss of all your progress. Riot Games strongly advises players to migrate their accounts as soon as possible to avoid any issues.
Riot Games Takes Over Championship Series
In addition to taking over the publishing rights, Riot Games will also be handling the local and regional championship series in Southeast Asia. This is an exciting development for the esports scene in the region, as it will provide more opportunities for players and shine a spotlight on their talents.
Overall, this transition marks a significant milestone for Riot Games and players in Southeast Asia. With Riot Games taking over the publishing and championship series, players can expect a more seamless and immersive gaming experience in the future.
