Chinese giant Tencent acquires a majority stake in Tequila Works.
By becoming the referent shareholder of Tequila Works, Tencent acquired an independent studio founded in Madrid in 2009, which has become the source of several gems such as RiME, Deadlight, GYLT and The Sexy Brutale. By focusing on developing Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story for the Riot Forge label for several months, Tequila Works may help Riot Games expand the League of Legends license with high-quality experiences in the future.

A partner that respects our independence and creative freedom. This partnership will allow us to focus on taking the original IPs we are known for to new heights and create the best experience we can dream of. ”
