Heads up, game makers: 2017 Game Developers Conference organizers are excited to confirm that Riot Games will be backing a talk at the upcoming show that dives into the curious process of how the studio produces Champions for its mega-popular MOBA League of Legends.

Riot Games senior development manager Jeremy Lee will be delivering a talk on "Creating 'League of Legends' Champions: Our Production Framework Revealed" at GDC 2017 that promises to be a remarkable behind-the-scenes look at Riot's work.

If you attend Lee's talk you can expect to hear about Riot's production tools that can be adapted to your own projects.
