Riot Games still wants its MMO, but it is not even close to the finish

Riot Games co-founder Marc Merrill recently spoke at the DICE Summit, revealing his ambitious vision for the future: a massively multiplayer online (MMO) game set within the rich worlds of League of Legends and Arcane. Merrill confessed that this MMO project consumes a significant portion of his time, fueled by his personal passion for the genre and a strong belief that this dedication is crucial to its success. He also highlighted the immense desire among League of Legends fans for deeper immersion within their beloved universe as a key driver behind the project.

While details remain scarce, including a release date, Merrill playfully suggested a launch before humanity's first Martian landing. The timeframe, however, remains uncertain.

It's important to note that another League of Legends-universe game is also in the works: 2XKO, a fighting game eagerly anticipated by fans. Unlike the MMO, 2XKO boasts trailers and a projected release date before the year's end.
