Riot Games is solely known for League of Legends, however, Epic Games owns more than just Fortnite. It also owns Rocket League and its developer, and is behind the Unreal Engine. As for Tencent, it's the biggest gaming company in the world, and has been rapidly expanding as of late, which includes buying stake in western companies. For example, it also has its hands in Activision, Ubisoft, and Supercell.
For now, it remains to be seen what will come of this. And at the moment, all parties implicated -- The US Department of the Treasury, Epic Games, Riot Games, and Tencent -- have not commented. However, if any comment or comments do come through, we will be sure to update this post.
For Epic Games, this probe comes in the middle of a bloody lawsuit with Apple that has seen the latter remove Fortnite from the App Store. Meanwhile, Riot Games has had numerous allegations of gender discrimination lodged against it over the past couple of years.
