Riot has announced that it has made a new equity investment in Fortiche Productions, an animation studio based in Paris, France. Under the terms of the investment, which closed earlier this year, Riot now holds a significant non-controlling stake in Fortiche. Brian Wright (Chief Content Officer at Riot) and Brendan Mulligan (Director of Corporate Development at Riot) have also joined Fortiche’s board of directors. According to Riot, Fortiche has worked closely with the company during the early ideation and storyboard development of Arcane and has been a key partner throughout the development of the show. Riot and Fortiche are also currently collaborating on the second season of Arcane, as well as other to-be-announced projects. Fortiche, which now includes 350 employees and collaborators in Paris, Montpellier, and Las Palmas, Spain, will remain operationally independent from Riot aside from Riot’s positions on the board of directors.
