During the 10th anniversary of League of Legends a few months ago, Riot Games released a series of new information about the games they are developing. However, with the information being released too closely together and the names being easily confused, it’s completely understandable that gamers cannot distinguish between these titles. Below are the most basic and easily recognizable features to help gamers differentiate and find the game that suits them.
League of Legends: Wild Rift – Genre: MOBA
The most distinguishable feature of League of Legends: Wild Rift is in the gameplay, as this game is the closest to the original League of Legends on PC. Essentially, this game is not too different from League of Legends, featuring the same champions, and the mechanics haven’t changed much, except for some champions being adjusted to fit the mobile platform.
The duration of each match will naturally be shorter than the original League of Legends to adapt to mobile players. Ignoring the differences in time and match speed, League of Legends: Wild Rift is essentially League of Legends played on mobile. You can still play your favorite champions in this game.

Teamfight Tactics Mobile – Genre: Auto Battler
From the name, we can imagine that this game is the mobile version of Teamfight Tactics, Riot Games’ super hot “auto chess” game. The biggest difference compared to League of Legends: Wild Rift is that Teamfight Tactics Mobile is a cross-platform game, meaning mobile players and PC players can meet and compete fairly.
This greatly affects the design of Teamfight Tactics in both the PC and Mobile versions. Riot Games must ensure that this game is not too easy because mobile players have too many advantages, and the game cannot be too difficult in terms of the system for PC players to win easily. In summary, this presents a very challenging problem for Riot in terms of balancing and game design.

Legends of Runeterra – Genre: Card Game
This is the most different game compared to the others as it follows a new direction that Riot Games has never explored, which is card games. Not only familiar champions, but also many supporting characters, some of which have not even been added to League of Legends, appear as cards in Legends of Runeterra.
The most important thing is that you will play the game even before it actually starts; from the moment you arrange the cards into a deck, it is already a significant calculation, and you must find the optimal deck with what you have. To play a card game like Legends of Runeterra, you need to put in the effort to study and remember the functions of the cards. Perhaps this is not a game for impatient players.

Project A – Genre: First-Person Shooter
To visualize it easily, Riot Games’ Project A is a combination of OverWatch and CS:GO. The characters in Project A will be divided into multiple classes, each champion will have its own set of skills, similar to OverWatch. However, you have to spend money to buy and equip those skills, akin to buying weapons and grenades in CS:GO.
Gamers are also divided into two teams, defending and attacking objectives, quite similar to Terrorists and Counter-Terrorists in CS:GO. In summary, this is a very innovative genre of shooting game.
