2021 was a busy year for Riot Games, with the release of Arcane on Netflix, along with single-player LoL spin-off Ruined King doing well. Riot Games also settled its major lawsuit late in 2021, agreeing to pay $100 million dollars in a settlement, and now, the L.A.-based studio has outline a five-year media strategy that includes TV, music, and even movies.

"We’ll create groundbreaking gameplay, game events, and features to redefine fandom across esports, TV, movies, music, live experiences, merch, and more," Riot said.
