Riot Games made a notable appearance at this year's DICE Summit, where co-founder Marc Merrill sat down with Stephen Totilo to discuss exciting future projects. One of Merrill's most ambitious goals is to bring to life a massively multiplayer online (MMO) game set within the rich universe of League of Legends and Arcane. His passion for the MMO genre is palpable, as he revealed that the project consumes much of his time. Merrill's enthusiasm and dedication are seen as vital components that could drive the game's success. Moreover, he highlighted the eager anticipation of League of Legends fans who are keen to dive deeper into their beloved universe.
While specific details about the upcoming MMO, such as a release window, were not disclosed, Merrill humorously expressed his hope that it would launch before the first human sets foot on Mars. This playful remark leaves fans curious about when they might get to explore this expansive new world.
In addition to the MMO, 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 given fans a glimpse through trailers and comes with a more concrete release timeline, expected to hit the market before the year's end. This news has certainly heightened the excitement among the gaming community.
