The popular MOBA League of Legends (LoL) will be coming to consoles – but not on Playstation 4 or Xbox One.
In China, “Tencent” is a big player. They’ve been distributing League of Legends for a long time. The company was also involved with Riot, the developers, for a long time. Recently, they acquired the LoL studio entirely.
Tencent also distributes many games from Korea or partners like Capcom in China – such as “Monster Hunter Online.”
Last week, they presented their own console, the “Tencent Games Platform” (TGP), which is commonly referred to as “Blade.”
The launch titles all come from Tencent, including League of Legends, Monster Hunter Online, FIFA Online 3, and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit.
The Blade is designed in the shape of a sports car. It runs on Windows 10. Whether the console will ever come to the West seems questionable.
