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 during a post-event discussion with Stephen Totilo. One of Merrill's primary ambitions is to bring an MMO to life 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 launch before humans set 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 been showcased through trailers and comes with a confirmed release window, expected to hit the market before the year's end. This news has undoubtedly thrilled fans who have been eagerly awaiting this addition to the League of Legends franchise.
