Riot Games started offering its games on the Epic Games Store this Thursday (4). Now it is possible to download and install League of Legends, TeamFight Tactics, Legends of Runeterra and VALUE, previously available only through Riot’s official websites.
According to Epic, downloading any of the Riot games will still require the installation of the Riot Client, an existing program that serves as a “hub” for all games from the creator of LoL. In practice, there will be no difference at all; players will only be able to discover Riot games through a store with other titles.
“Riot Games is one of the best developers and creators of innovative entertainment franchises,” Epic Games Store Vice President and CEO Steve Allison said in a press release. “We are excited that they have chosen to partner with us to bring their titles to millions of new players through the Epic Games Store,” he concluded.
