Riot Games has appointed Paul “Pabro” Bellezza as the new Executive Producer of League of Legends, succeeding Jeremy “Brightmoon” Lee, who is transitioning to a new position within the company. Bellezza, a seasoned veteran at Riot, started his journey with the company as one of its first interns and was among the initial developers to work on League of Legends back in 2006. Over the years, Bellezza has significantly influenced the game's evolution, contributing to champion designs, skins, in-game events, and the overall player experience through his roles in product management and creative game production.

His extensive career at Riot includes contributions to VALORANT and leadership as the Director of Creative Game Production for League Studio, overseeing projects tied to the acclaimed series ARCANE and the mobile adaptation League of Legends: Wild Rift. Bellezza expressed enthusiasm about returning to focus on League of Legends, aiming to enhance player experiences in his new role.

Jeremy Brightmoon, the outgoing Executive Producer, announced his departure from the role in December 2023 and will be embarking on a sabbatical before unveiling his next venture within Riot Games.
