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 during a conversation with Stephen Totilo. One of Merrill's primary ambitions is to bring a new massively multiplayer online (MMO) game to life, set within the captivating universe of League of Legends and Arcane. This project is not just a passion project for Merrill, but also a significant focus of his time, driven by his love for the MMO genre and a strong belief in its potential success.
The enthusiasm of League of Legends fans to dive deeper into their beloved universe plays a crucial role in Merrill's vision for the MMO. While he did not disclose specific details or a release timeline, he humorously expressed his hope that the game would be available before humans set foot on Mars. This light-hearted comment leaves fans eagerly anticipating further updates on this ambitious project.
In addition to the MMO, Riot Games is also developing another exciting title set in the League of Legends universe—2XKO, a much-anticipated fighting game. Unlike the MMO, 2XKO has already revealed trailers and a release window, expected to launch before the year's end. This news has undoubtedly heightened fans' excitement, as they eagerly await the opportunity to experience the game firsthand.
