By the sounds of it, Seattle will be an invaluable location for Riot Games to continue develop many of their their operations. Their Bellevue location has been steadily growing. In addition, VALORANT has been hiring in not only LA but in Bellevue as well. With the success a VALORANT, Riot is looking for more support. Naturally, it’s time for Riot put down some roots in Seattle.
There are a few other interesting advantages of this office location. With VALORANT and Riot MMOFPS Project T both being FPS games, Riot Games can tap into the Washington talent from notable game developer 343 Studios, of the Halo franchise.
