Riot Games made a significant appearance at this year's DICE Summit, and following the main event, company co-founder Marc Merrill sat down with Stephen Totilo to share his vision for the future. One of Merrill's most ambitious goals is to launch a massively multiplayer online (MMO) game set within the expansive universe of League of Legends and Arcane. This project has captured much of his attention, as he is deeply passionate about the MMO genre and believes his commitment is crucial to its potential success. Furthermore, the enthusiasm of League of Legends fans, who are eager to dive deeper into their beloved universe, is another driving force behind this endeavor.
While Merrill was tight-lipped about specific details of the MMO, including a release date, he humorously remarked that he hopes it will be available before humans set foot on Mars. Whether this light-hearted prediction will come to fruition is yet to be seen.
In addition to the MMO, Riot Games is also developing another title within the League of Legends universe: 2XKO, a fighting game that fans have been eagerly anticipating for years. Unlike the MMO, 2XKO has already released trailers and has a confirmed release window, expected to launch before the end of the year. This news has undoubtedly thrilled the community, providing them with something exciting to look forward to in the near future.
