Riot Games made a notable appearance at this year's DICE Summit, where co-founder Marc Merrill shared exciting insights into the company's future plans. In a post-event discussion with Stephen Totilo, Merrill revealed his ambition to launch a massively multiplayer online (MMO) game set within the expansive universe of League of Legends and Arcane. This project, which consumes much of his time, reflects his deep passion for the MMO genre. Merrill's enthusiasm, coupled with the fervent desire of League of Legends fans to dive deeper into their beloved universe, positions the game for potential success.
While specific details about the MMO remain under wraps, including any potential release dates, Merrill humorously expressed his hope that the game would be ready before the first human sets foot on Mars. This light-hearted comment leaves fans eagerly anticipating further updates on the project's progress.
In addition to the MMO, Riot Games is also developing another title set in the League of Legends universe: 2XKO, a highly anticipated fighting game. Unlike the MMO, 2XKO has already released trailers and is slated for a release before the end of the year, much to the excitement of fans who have been eagerly awaiting its arrival.
