A cyber attack on Riot could delay the patches of its games
This Tuesday January 24 at 20:00 (CET) we should have with us the official notes of the patch 13.2 from League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics. However, a series of problems could have forced Riot Games to delay its release. The main reason is a cyberattack on the company’s servers. From Riot they have asked their players for peace of mind, especially since no private information has been leaked.
In a statement, Riot Games confirms that earlier this week their systems were compromised following a cyber attack. «For the moment you can rest easy because it does not seem that they have obtained any type of personal information from the players«, they affirm. However, this has led them to having to stop their work in other fields to focus on the safety of the company. «This could affect our next patch cadence on various titles.”they continued.
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.

Riot suffers a cyberattack on its systems
At the moment there is no official information about the possible launch of the new versions. What is clear is that there is a possible delay in the presentation and implementation of the updatesespecially after hearing certain comments from some rioters. It seems that some parts of the new versions will be released as hot fix while others will be delayed until Riot Games can guarantee the security of all its video games.
According to Andrei van Roon «Riot Meddler«, Head of League Studiothis problem could affect the launch of the rework Ahri’s visual. This means that we may have to wait for the implementation of part 13.3, which will arrive on February 8th. Most of the changes will enter with the current version without much complication, while those that cannot be implemented will be added through small hot fix.
