Riot Games' MMO: Far From Finished

Riot Games made a notable appearance at this year's DICE Summit, where co-founder Marc Merrill shared exciting insights into the company's future plans. In a conversation with Stephen Totilo following the main event, Merrill expressed his enthusiasm for an upcoming project—an MMO set within the expansive universe of League of Legends and Arcane. This ambitious endeavor is a major focus for him, consuming much of his time and energy.

Merrill's passion for the MMO genre fuels his dedication to the project, which he believes is crucial to its potential success. He also highlighted the eagerness of League of Legends fans to dive deeper into their beloved universe, suggesting a strong demand for such an immersive experience. Despite his excitement, Merrill kept the specifics under wraps, including any possible release date. He humorously remarked that he hopes the MMO will launch before humanity's first trip to Mars, leaving fans intrigued and hopeful about its timeline.

While details about the MMO remain scarce, Riot Games is also developing another game set in the League of Legends universe—2XKO, a highly anticipated fighting game. Unlike the MMO, 2XKO has already generated buzz with its trailers and is slated for release before the year ends, giving fans something concrete to look forward to in the near future.
