According to IGN , the " Project K " project marks Riot Games' bold move in expanding the League of Legends universe into the physical card field. This is the first time Riot has tried this format, different from previous digital titles such as Teamfight Tactics, Wild Rift or Legends of Runeterra .
According to Riot, Project K is designed to provide a live experience where players can interact with each other in tabletop matches. The game supports many modes from traditional '1v1', '2v2' team to 4-player freestyle, promising to bring flexibility and appeal. Riot also emphasized that the tactical system in the game will revolve around the use of "Runes" to summon units and deploy magic, creating depth for the gameplay.
Realizing the card trend returning in recent years, Riot Games tries its hand at the game Project K with characters from the LOL universe.
The project is currently being developed by a team led by Dave Guskin and Chengran Chai. Riot says the game has completed its core design phase and is preparing for release. In China, Riot is working with an undisclosed domestic partner, with Project K slated for release in early 2025. Global expansion plans are still unknown, as Riot looks to find the right partners to ensure the quality of the experience.
The decision to develop "Project K" comes amid a resurgence in card games, particularly thanks to the mobile version of the Pokémon Trading Card Game . However, choosing a physical card format over a digital format can be seen as a challenging move, especially in a market that already has many strong competitors.
Riot has had some success outside of its original MOBA genre, like Arcane , the hit Netflix animated series, or spin-off titles like Teamfight Tactics . However, not all experiments have been smooth sailing. The mobile card game Legends of Runeterra , released in 2020, failed to live up to expectations, forcing Riot to reduce its investment in the project.
The choice of a physical card game for "Project K" may reflect Riot's ambition to expand into a more traditional market where direct player interaction is a priority. It also opens up the opportunity for Riot to appeal to a new audience, not just gamers familiar with digital titles but also those who love the traditional card genre.
While much remains to be revealed, "Project K" is attracting a lot of attention from the gaming community and fans of the League of Legends universe. With careful investment from Riot, this game promises to be an important step in the journey to expand the Runeterra brand, while also testing Riot's accessibility on new platforms.
