Riot Games has extended its partnership with Amazon Prime Gaming which will see more freebies given to players – including RP – and esports tournament sponsorships.
Amazon Prime members will be able to claim more exclusive in-game content for Riot’s biggest titles, including League of Legends, Legends of Runeterra, Valorant and League of Legends: Wild Rift.
Prime Gaming will also be a global sponsor across Riot’s esports titles, including League of Legends, Valorant and Wild Rift, providing content during various events.
Amazon will sponsor multiple LoLEsports events for the LCS and LEC, and Valorant Champions Tour competitions in North America and EMEA regions in 2022. Prime Gaming will serve as the presenting sponsor of the Agent Select component and ‘Flawless’ moment, as well as integration across 2022 Wild Rift esports global events.
In League of Legends, available today is a new Prime Gaming Capsule including 650 Riot Points, an unowned 1,350 RP skin, five permanent Champion Shards, 200 Orange Essence, two sets of Series 1 Eternals, and a 30-day XP boost.
These will be coming every month, as confirmed by Riot Games product manager Ken Adams:
Additionally, in November, Prime Gaming has a few surprises for members to celebrate with the release of Riot’s fantasy TV show Arcane on Netflix. This collaboration, which runs through 2022, promises to ‘raise the bar on content quality and value, setting a new standard for what’s available to Prime Gaming customers’.
Also, as of today, Worlds 2021 viewers can collect a custom esports emote, with more exclusive esports emotes available during 2022 League of Legends esports global events.
“We’ve been working with Riot for a while now, but this collaboration raises the value bar for customers to ensure Riot’s games are even better with Amazon Prime.”
Larry Plotnick, Prime Gaming
From November 18th, Prime members can grab exclusive Wild Rift content every two weeks for a year (24 drops in total). Content will include random Baubles, Emotes, Recalls, Skins and Skin Poses.
Prime members can claim the exclusive esports emote known as the ‘Happiness Overload’ emote during this year’s League of Legends World Championships, along with three additional exclusive emotes in 2022. Opportunities to collect the exclusive emote will be promoted to viewers through in-broadcast placement during LoLEsports broadcasts and on LoLEsports.com.
In Valorant, customers can grab one year’s worth of exclusive content for Valorant gameplay. Content planned includes two weapon skins, two calling cards, four Gunbuddies and four sprays.
After the current Legends of Runeterra series ends in January 2022, Prime members can claim content on a monthly basis including: one Tier 3 Prismatic Chest and one Epic Card or Tier 3 Prismatic Chest, and three Rare Wildcards.
“Riot Games is an incredible partner that will help bring even more value to the Amazon Prime membership,” said Larry Plotnick, GM of Prime Gaming. “We’ve been working with Riot for a while now, but this collaboration raises the value bar for customers to ensure Riot’s games are even better with Amazon Prime. We’re looking forward to featuring additional content for Prime Gaming members in the coming months.”
