#Project K

Riot Games is expanding its iconic League of Legends universe with a new venture—a physical trading card game currently codenamed "Project K." The game, slated for an early 2025 release in China, marks the first time Riot has entered the realm of physical card games. Project K is being developed by a team led by director Dave Guskin and producer Chengran Chai. While specific mechanics remain under wraps, early glimpses of the project suggest a departure from conventional trading card game norms. The company has previously ventured into mobile games like Teamfight Tactics and Wild Rift, as well as other genres such as the fighting game Project L and the Netflix series Arcane. Earlier this year, the company laid off more than 500 employees and discontinued projects under its Riot Forge publishing label. The company’s strategic approach to crafting a product tailored for in-person social gaming could help differentiate Project K from competitors in an increasingly saturated market. Whether Project K becomes a global hit or a niche favorite, it underscores the company’s ongoing efforts to broaden the appeal of its flagship universe.
