Company Description

Riot Games Inc., founded in 2006, is a venture funded video game development company headquartered in Los Angeles, California. We recently launched our flagship title, League of Legends, to critical acclaim, including being voted Best PC Game of 2009.

Based in Culver City, CA, minutes away from the beach, or downtown LA, Riot Game offers an exciting environment with great career opportunities.

As avid gamers, we believe that the games that are the most fun are those that provide worthwhile challenges that test and reward player skill, not just time spent playing.
