Riot Games' MMO: Far from Finished

Riot Games made a notable appearance at this year's DICE Summit, where co-founder Marc Merrill shared insights into the company's future plans in a post-event discussion with Stephen Totilo. One of the most exciting revelations was Merrill's ambition to develop a new MMO set within the expansive universe of League of Legends and its acclaimed spin-off, Arcane.

Merrill confessed that the MMO project consumes a significant portion of his time, driven by his passion for the genre. He believes that his deep commitment, combined with the enthusiasm of League of Legends fans eager to explore their beloved universe in greater depth, sets the stage for the game's potential success. However, while he expressed high hopes for the project, Merrill refrained from disclosing any concrete details, including a release timeline. In a light-hearted moment, he quipped that he hopes the MMO will be ready before the first human sets foot on Mars, though he offered no guarantees on that ambitious timeline.

In addition to the MMO, Riot Games is also working on another title within the League of Legends universe: 2XKO, a highly anticipated fighting game. Unlike the MMO, 2XKO has already been showcased with trailers and comes with a confirmed release window, expected to hit the market before the year's end. This news has been met with excitement from fans who have been eagerly awaiting its arrival for years.
