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. A significant highlight was Merrill's enthusiasm for an upcoming MMO set within the expansive universe of League of Legends and Arcane. His passion for the MMO genre is palpable, as he confessed that the project consumes most of his time. Merrill's dedication, coupled with the fervent desire of League of Legends fans to dive deeper into their beloved universe, fuels his confidence in the project's potential success.
While specifics about the MMO remain under wraps, including any hint of a release date, Merrill humorously remarked that he hopes the game will be ready before the first human sets foot on Mars. Whether this playful prediction will come to pass is something fans eagerly await.
In addition to the MMO, Riot Games is also developing another title set in the League of Legends universe: 2XKO, a fighting game that has been highly anticipated by fans. Unlike the secretive MMO, 2XKO already boasts trailers and a confirmed release window, slated for launch before the year's end.
