For some time now, Riot Games has even been talking about a gigantic game, an MMORPG. Highly anticipated, he hadn’t announced any news for some time
The end of the MMORPG League of Legends?
It’s almost been 5 years since Riot Games is working on a League of Legends MMORPG and promises it. Since then, fans have been waiting non-stop. This game has managed to remain very discreet. There was never a gameplay reveal or visuals. There’s not even a guarantee the title will ever be released, warned Greg Street. “There is no guarantee that this game will be available. We’re optimistic, but you never know until it happens.”explained the vice president of Riot, on , here we go, still nothing, apart from this bad news that has just arrived: the project has been reset.
The sad announcement was discovered on X. “After much thought and discussion, we decided some time ago to realign the project. This decision was not easy, but necessary. The original vision just wasn’t different enough from what you can play today.”explains the co-founder of Riot, Marc Merrill. Although he doesn’t reveal many details about the project’s progress, it still means that four years of work have been at least partially put on hold. On the social network, the man explains that the MMORPG “League of Legends” in its current state is not original enough and is closer to all other games in the genre. “To truly live up to Runeterra’s potential and meet expectations […]“We need to do something that really looks like meaningful development.”he then explains.
No news, good news
For developers, a reset doesn’t just mean returning to the starting point. The teams were also mixed up. Merrill cites, for example, the addition of Fabrice Condominas to the project as a new executive producer. He is already known for his work at BioWare, EA and Riot. As the co-founder explains, this allowed the studio to regain strength and motivation. You will have understood, the League of Legends MMORPG is desired. We will probably have to wait at least another three or four years to get information if nothing changes. The CEO is aware of the fans’ enthusiasm, but advises them not to be in a hurry. As he says himself “No news is good news because that means we are working hard”.
