Riot Games have opted to reveal their esports plans for their newest mobile MOBA, Wild Rift. Here is their announcement:
Riot Games reveal Esports plans for Wild Rift – What are they?
So, let’s get straight into it. Obviously their first priority at hand is Wild Rift Esports as a watching experience, as well as the participating experience. Much like League of Legends, Wild Rift can deliver some intense moments and battles which are everything that any spectator and player would like to have.
Riot are aiming at developing Wild Rift as the first truly global mobile esport. They are creating leagues for every region around the world, and are giving loads of opportunities to all that are passionate about esports, especially in the mobile sector.
As it stands, they are currently focusing on creating a solid platform for their professional players. This is exactly why they’re hosting these events and leagues throughout the year. They are ensuring that all these organisations getting involved with the esport will continuously have tournaments to play in, affirming that Wild Rift is here to stay.
This is what Leo Faria, Head of Wild Rift esports, said about the news:
“We’re seeing a great appetite for Wild Rift esports. Since we announced the game back in 2019, influencers, pro teams, partners, and the media have constantly asked us if we are doing esports for Wild Rift and how they can join. Not doing it would mean stamping out the fire for competition that is very real in the community. For all these reasons, we’re going all in on Wild Rift Esports and are very committed to making it happen. We want to re-imagine what we think amazing mobile esports can look like, so you can expect Riot’s full force of production, creativity, and operations behind our newest venture.”

What’s next?
Their next step in the coming months is something that is related to the viewing experience. Riot feels that watching esports on a mobile phone needs to have a better experience, despite there being quite a huge number of people watching esports events through mobile devices. Since Wild Rift is a mobile esport, its core fan-base will most probably be spectating through a mobile phone. Making this viewing experience as best as possible is ideal for Riot’s success with Wild Rift Esports.
It’s great to see that despite the game still very early in its release, Riot are still prioritizing this stuff when it comes to its esports side. Wild Rift will surely be a game to watch in the years to come, and it’s amazing that we get to experience it from its beginning.
