[dropcap size=dropcap]A[/dropcap] few days ago, a hacker broke into Marc Merill’s Twitter account and used it to publish some images featuring an unknown card game that was supposed to have been produced earlier by Riot Games. For those who don’t know, Merill is the president and co-founder of Riot, the makers of League of Legends.
“Riot doesn’t want you to play this game,” said “Jason,” the hacker. Then, he linked some pictures featuring a buried card game called “League of Legends: Supremacy.” As the name was already registered as a trademark a few years ago, the fans were astonished to see that all rumors were true and that in fact, Riot did produce another game. Many have though that “League of Legends: Supremacy” was supposed to be a new play mode within the main League game but they were wrong. And the hacker came with the news: “It’s a standalone game. I have the server and client source.”
After a while however, Merill has retaken control of his account and shed light upon the hacker’s story. He acknowledge the fact that the pictures were real, but “League of Legends: Supremacy” was only a concept and the images experimental in nature. There is no other game in development, nor an extension mode to the original “League of Legends.”
League of Legends is an online multiplayer action video game with elements of real-time strategy developed and marketed by Riot Games for Microsoft Windows.
In League of Legends, players take on the role of a Summoner avatar that is able to influence battles from distance by taking command of a chosen Champion. During each multiplayer game, users will choose a dozen of champions and engage in fast paced team combat. All champions are able to evolve, gain in levels, find new items and explore new abilities. The Summoner’s rank will advance as well, as he will gain new powers, items and abilities while assisting their Champions in battle.
