Riot Games Korea signed an agreement with Incheon International Airport Corporation to create a gaming experience zone inside the airport, the game developer said Monday.

The Korean branch of Riot Games, which is the developer and publisher of the popular League of Legends (LOL) online game, said the exhibit will be designed for both game enthusiasts as well as those less acquainted with gaming culture.

The experience zone will feature computers to let visitors play Riot Games’ titles, such as LOL and Valorant, and artworks in collaboration with local artists. Photo zones will also be set up.

“We will provide a gamers’ lounge where visitors can enjoy Riot Games’ games and other entertainment such as Esports,” CEO of Riot Games Korea Jo Hyuk-jin, said in a statement. “We hope to bring more people closer to Riot Games’ content and experience through this opportunity.”

The experience zone will be located in Terminal 1 of the airport, in front of Gate 30. It will open in October.
