On its Twitter feed, Riot Games sent a message informing followers that a “social engineering assault” had disrupted their services. As a result of this terrible turn of events, most Riot Games products may experience delays in deploying upgrades.
Valorant and League of Legends are Riot’s two flagship titles, and it seems that they will be substantially impacted. However, the developers have done their utmost to alleviate the tension among dissatisfied players.
Riot said on Twitter that it does not yet have all of the answers, but that it would keep its fans updated on any developments in the matter. As far as the firm is concerned, no personal or player data information was exposed as a consequence of the hack. While this is fantastic news, the bad news is that Riot said that their patch releases would touch numerous of its titles but did not name them explicitly. Riot has begged for everyone’s patience while the probe is ongoing. Riot seems to be out of luck in 2023.
Earlier this week, systems in our development environment were compromised via a social engineering attack. We don’t have all the answers right now, but we wanted to communicate early and let you know there is no indication that player data or personal information was obtained.

Hundreds of commentators either mocked the hack or inquired about how it would affect other services underneath the statement. The president of League Studio, Andrei van Roon, has informed fans that everything intended for Patch 13.2 would be published, although with a delay. The development team is still working around the clock to attempt to incorporate as many modifications as possible, but certain upgrades that cannot be hotfixed, such as art changes, will come later. Teamfight Tactics has created a second article, telling players that the entire scope of balancing modifications would most likely not be executed on time, but the most essential ones will be deployed in the form of hotfixes. The Valorant Twitter feed did not mention this change, thus it seems that the fun for Valorant gamers continues.
Players may at least continue playing the games in their present condition with the knowledge that their personal and in-game data has not been compromised. If players have been waiting for solutions to power imbalances in their favourite Riot products, they may have to wait a little longer than normal for these improvements to take effect.
