Rising Thunder was a PC fighting game made by FGC vets like Seth Killian. What made it special is that the game was designed to be played with a keyboard so it had one button inputs on a cooldown. It was easy to pick up, but still had a lot of depth to it. Things were going along fine and things were looking great. The game was constantly being improved and more content was promised in the future. Then one day, Radiant (the developer) announced that they had been bought by Riot Games and they were shutting down the game. It was online only so that meant you could never play the game again. Most of the community at the time was thinking that the idea would be used to make a League of Legends fighting game and while we were disappointed Rising Thunder had to die (I really did love the characters), at least we had hope for something on the horizon. Then nothing happened. Over a year later, we have heard nothing. At this point, it looks like Riot bought a promising new studio which was creating a promising new fighting game and killed it off. If eventually we hear something about what happened to these guys and it turns out good, I might be less salty, but until then, fuck Riot. |

Man fuck RG lol, why in the hell will they buy a company to kill off a game? That's a dick move, I watched a lot of videos about Rising Thunder yesterday and it suprises me how I didn't know about its existance, looked like a lot of fun... Would've love to try it out. Hope they are not killing the game just for the sake of not having competition and bring it back laters on the road!
