In what can be seen as a small yet welcome step in the right direction, Riot Games today announced that it will be gradually rolling out support for Arabic language in League of Legends and other Riot products.

The announcement was made as part of the company's 10-year anniversary celebrations, in which Jessica Nam, EP for League of Legends, revealed that the company is aware of the vast number of LoL players in the MENA region.

In a video posted on the official Riot Games YouTube channel, two quick screenshots are shown of the LoL interface with full Arabic support, which you can check out below.

While this is a great move for localizing an immensely popular game in the region, Riot Games did not say whether or not Middle East servers for LoL will be coming any time soon. This means that MENA players will still have to contend with playing on North America or European servers for the time being, but at least will be able to communicate in their local language.

Here's hoping that with this small step, Riot eventually brings MENA servers to the region and to its massive fan base.
