Riot Games, the video game developer and publisher behind League of Legends and Valorant, says it will delay game patches after its development environment was compromised last week.
Riot Games also added that the breach directly impacted its ability to publish patches for its games.
"Unfortunately, this has temporarily affected our ability to release content. While our teams are working hard on a fix, we expect this to impact our upcoming patch cadence across multiple games," Riot Games said.
The development teams behind the League of Legends multiplayer online battle arena and Teamfight Tactics auto battler games confirmed the incident on Friday.
The tweets also acknowledged future delays to changes planned to be implemented in the game and towards the release date of the next major patch.
This comes after 2K Games, another major video game publisher, said in September 2020 that its help desk was hacked to infect some of its customers with malware.
