Riot Games made a notable appearance at this year's DICE Summit, where co-founder Marc Merrill shared insights into the company's ambitious plans. In a post-event discussion with Stephen Totilo, Merrill revealed his keen interest in developing a new MMO set within the captivating universe of League of Legends and Arcane. This project, which consumes much of his time, reflects his passion for the genre and his belief in its potential success, driven by the deep desire of League of Legends fans to immerse themselves fully in their beloved world.
While specific details about the MMO remain under wraps, including a potential release date, Merrill humorously expressed his hope that the game would launch before humans set foot on Mars. This light-hearted comment leaves fans eagerly anticipating further updates on this exciting project.
In addition to the MMO, Riot Games is also developing another game set in the League of Legends universe: 2XKO, a fighting game that has been eagerly awaited by fans for years. Unlike the MMO, 2XKO already boasts released trailers and a confirmed release window, set to launch before the end of the year. This news adds to the excitement surrounding Riot Games' expanding portfolio and their commitment to enriching the League of Legends universe.
