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 on the company's future projects in a post-event discussion with Stephen Totilo. One of Merrill's primary ambitions is to launch a massively multiplayer online (MMO) game set within the expansive universe of League of Legends and its animated series, Arcane. This project has become a central focus for Merrill, who is deeply passionate about the MMO genre. He believes that his enthusiasm, combined with the eagerness of League of Legends fans to dive deeper into their beloved universe, will be key to the game's success.

While specific details about the MMO remain under wraps, including a potential release date, Merrill humorously remarked that he hopes the game will be ready before the first human sets foot on Mars. This light-hearted comment leaves the timeline open-ended, sparking curiosity and anticipation among fans.

In addition to the MMO, Riot Games is also developing another title set in the League of Legends universe: 2XKO, a highly anticipated fighting game. Unlike the MMO, 2XKO has already been showcased through trailers, and fans have a clearer picture of what to expect. The game is slated for release before the end of the year, adding to the excitement surrounding Riot Games' expanding portfolio.
