Riot Games made a notable appearance at this year's DICE Summit, where co-founder Marc Merrill shared exciting updates about the company's future projects. In a post-event chat with Stephen Totilo, Merrill revealed his passion for bringing an MMO to life within the expansive universe of League of Legends and Arcane. This ambitious project has become the focal point of his work, driven by his love for the genre and a deep commitment to creating a successful game. Merrill believes that the enthusiasm of League of Legends fans, eager to dive deeper into their beloved universe, will be a crucial factor in the MMO's potential success.
While Merrill kept the details under wraps, he humorously remarked that he hopes the MMO will launch before humans set foot on Mars, though no concrete release window was given. This playful comment leaves fans eagerly anticipating more news about this long-awaited project.
In addition to the MMO, Riot Games is also developing another title set in the League of Legends universe—2XKO, a fighting game that has been highly anticipated by the community. Unlike the MMO, 2XKO has already shared trailers and a more definite timeline, with plans to launch before the end of the year. This news has undoubtedly heightened the excitement among fans who have been waiting for years to get their hands on this new addition to the League of Legends franchise.
