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 rich worlds of League of Legends and Arcane.
Merrill confessed that this MMO project currently consumes a significant portion of his time, highlighting his personal passion for the genre as a crucial element for its potential success. He also emphasized the strong desire among League of Legends players for deeper immersion within their beloved universe.
While details remain scarce, including a release date, Merrill playfully suggested a launch before humanity's first Martian landing. The feasibility of this prediction remains uncertain.
It's important to remember that another League of Legends-based game, the highly anticipated 2XKO fighting game, is also under development. Unlike the MMO, 2XKO boasts trailers and a projected release date before the year's end.
