Since 2006, Riot Games has stayed committed to changing the way video games are developed, published, and supported for players. From our first title, League of Legends, to 2020’s VALORANT; we have strived to evolve the community with growth in Esports, and expansion from games into entertainment. Players are the foundation of Riot's community and because of them, we’re able to reach new heights. Founded by Brandon Beck and Marc Merrill, Riot is headquartered in Los Angeles, California, and has 4,500+ Rioters in 20+ offices worldwide. Riot has been featured on numerous lists including Fortune’s “100 Best Companies to Work For,” “25 Best Companies to Work in Technology,” “100 Best Workplaces for Millennials,” and “50 Best Workplaces for Flexibility.” Riot Games recruiters will never ask for money or request sensitive information, and they'll always reach out from an @riotgames.com email address.

This week we closed out #AAPIHeritageMonth by focusing on community. For the second year in a row, our API and Filipino RIGs hosted a pop-up market on our LAX campus with over 20 local Asian and Pacific Islander businesses, a board game zone, a DJ, an auction for charity, and a themed dinner featuring a wide variety of Asian and Pacific Islander dishes!

Last week VALORANT launched the Holomoku skinline in collaboration with our API Rioter Inclusion Group (RIG) to celebrate #AAPIHeritageMonth. Together, the team landed on the name Holomoku to represent the Polynesian culture that the skins are inspired by. The talented artists and devs who brought the vision to life saw this as an opportunity to not only represent and depict parts of their culture, but also the rich and diverse backgrounds of players around the world.
"Growing up in a close-knit community where sharing experiences shaped our lives, I carried that same spirit into my work at Riot. Being part of the AAPI community and participating in events like Ramadan celebrations have brought me closer to people with similar backgrounds. The connections I’ve built have expanded my social circle and created cherished memories, from Ramadan festivals and late-night food adventures to night markets and volleyball games. These moments reminded me of home and made me feel deeply connected and appreciated within the Riot and AAPI communities. The culture at Riot is so amazing, I feel deeply appreciated and respected by fellow colleagues at a place where differences are recognized and celebrated." #AAPIHeritageMonth
