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 beloved worlds of League of Legends and Arcane. Merrill admitted this MMO project consumes a significant portion of his time, fueled by his personal passion for the genre and a deep understanding of the fervent desire among League of Legends fans for deeper immersion in their favorite universe.

While details remain scarce, including a release date, Merrill playfully suggested a launch before humanity’s first Martian landing. This ambitious timeframe, however, remains unconfirmed.

It’s important to note that another League of Legends-based game is 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.
