Riot Games made a notable appearance at this year's DICE Summit, where company co-founder Marc Merrill engaged in a post-event discussion with Stephen Totilo. During the conversation, Merrill shared his vision for the future, expressing a strong ambition to launch a new MMO set within the expansive universe of League of Legends and Arcane.

Merrill disclosed that the development of this MMO consumes a significant portion of his time. His passion for the genre, coupled with a deep commitment to the project, fuels his belief in its potential success. He also highlighted the enthusiasm of League of Legends fans, who are eager to dive deeper into their beloved universe, as a crucial element driving the project forward.

Despite his enthusiasm, Merrill remained tight-lipped about specific details of the MMO, including any potential release dates. He humorously remarked that he hopes the game will be available before the first human sets foot on Mars, leaving the timeline intriguingly open-ended.

In addition to the MMO, Riot Games is also working on another title within the League of Legends universe: 2XKO, a much-anticipated fighting game. Unlike the MMO, 2XKO has already been showcased with trailers and is slated for release before the year's end, providing fans with something to look forward to in the near future.
