League of Legends developer Riot Games is closing its Creative Services office in Brighton. 

The studio is attempting to relocate the department to its European HQ in Dublin, and is discussing the move with staff in the hope that the majority will head to Ireland. 

The Creative Services team supports Riot's other European operations, assisting with design, film, web development, writing, events, and production.

Riot confirmed the Dublin switch in a statement to GamesIndustry.biz, explaining the move would help "harmonize functions."  

"We are indeed planning to relocate the Brighton office over the next few weeks," said Riot. "Internal conversations are still ongoing with Rioters in Brighton, but it's hoped the majority of them will move with the function.

"For the last two years Brighton has been supporting other offices throughout Europe and the move to our European headquarters in Dublin is designed to harmonize functions."
