League of Legends Franchise Surpasses $20 Billion Revenue Mark

League of Legends has once again confirmed its status as one of the most successful games in history. According to data found on the LinkedIn profile of one of the senior producers at Riot Games, the total revenue of the entire franchise has surpassed an impressive $20 billion mark.

Launched in 2009, League of Legends not only popularized the MOBA genre but also became its main symbol for years, remaining at the top alongside Dota 2 and at times even surpassing it. Despite changing trends and a high entry barrier for newcomers, the game continues to retain millions of fans worldwide.

Riot Games has turned LoL into an entire media universe that includes not only the main game but also spin-offs, the popular animated series " Arcane ," music projects, comics, and a large-scale esports scene. This comprehensive approach has allowed the franchise not only to survive but also to set financial records even a decade and a half after its release.

The $20 billion record is not just a number but a testament to the impact League of Legends has had on the video game industry. It has not only created a unique gaming experience for millions of people but has also become a cultural phenomenon capable of uniting players, musicians, artists, and esports fans into one global community.
