This comes as no surprise, especially with all the recent efforts to produce regional content for their games, with the likes of the first Filipino agent, Neon, in VALORANT.

This move can only mean more big things in store for players in the Philippines that support the various Riot Games properties like Wild Rift and the massively successful Netflix show, Arcane.
