Rumor: Multiple job listings at Riot Games reference Switch
Following tonight’s League of Legends 10th Anniversary Event and presentation, multiple job listings have been spotted on the website of developer Riot Games that reference the Nintendo Switch.
While there is no confirmation that any projects are currently in development for Switch involving Riot Games, the developer did mention during tonight’s broadcast that League of Legends: Wild Rift — a console-friendly version of League of Legends — will be coming to unspecified consoles in 2020.
While most of the Nintendo Switch references are included on unspecified job listings, two are for League of Legends: Wild Rift. While the others do not mention game titles, Riot Games also announced a new fighting game, FPS, mobile card game, and an esports team management simulator tonight as well.
However, it is important to keep in mind that these listings do not confirm that projects are in development. The job listings can be checked out below.
