Ahhh League Of Legends, a MOBA that occupied my university years. While I'd argue climbing the ranked ladder with my housemates were some of the best game moments I've ever had, I'd also argue giving up League was necessary. I became too involved, too close to the toxicity. But now League's threatening to drag me back in with something I hadn't seen coming - a Vampire Survivors-like PVE mode. No! I must resist (I will be on it immediately when it arrives).
League of Legends MMO is Resetting Development
20.03.2024 - 23:27 / gamerant.com / Marc Merrill
Fans who have been patiently waiting for news about the development of the League of Legends MMO will be disheartened to learn that the game's development has been reset. Riot Games first teased the League of Legends MMO back in 2019, several months before announcing and releasing its popular first-person shooter, Valorant.
The short window between the Valorant announcement and release may have led somefans to believe that the wait for the League of Legends MMO wouldn't be more than a year or two, but Riot Games co-founder Marc Merrill delivered the unfortunate news of the development being reset more than four years after the company confirmed that it was in development. This move is reminiscent of Nintendo restarting the development of Metroid Prime 4, which was announced seven years ago in 2017 and restarted two years later.
In a thread of posts on Twitter, Merrill explains that the decision to restart development on the League of Legends MMO was made because Riot Games does not want to make an MMO that feels like any other «with a Runeterra coat of paint.» While he did not give any indication of when the game might be releasing, Merrill said that the team will be «going dark» for at least several years, meaning that fans should not expect any news for this time. The League of Legends MMO was originally confirmed in 2020, but precious little information has been forthcoming since then. Needless to say, this is not the news fans were hoping for.
The fact that the game is still being developed is likely little consolation for fans after speculation that the League of Legends MMO may never be released. He also reminds fans that «no news is good news,» and that the team is sparing no effort to make the League of Legends MMO a unique and memorable experience. Finally, Merrill thanks fans for their patience, and reaffirms Riot Games' commitment to creating a game that fans will love.
This news might not come as a surprise after ex-Blizzard designer Greg Street, the outgoing executive producer who was also the source of speculation that the game may not be released, stepped down from his role at Riot Games in March 2023. Fabrice Condominas (previously at EA and BioWare) has been named as the new executive producer for the League of Legends MMO, who says he is «excited and humbled» to take on this new role. Condominas is perhaps best known for his work as producer for Mass Effect 3. The news of the development reset may be disappointing, but it is arguably better than a disappointing game release.
League of Legends is one of the best MOBAs in the world, allowing players to duke it out against each other or bots in a variety of game modes. There are tons of champions to choose from in LoL, with favorites like
The website gametalkz.com is an aggregator of news from open sources. The source is indicated at the beginning and at the end of the announcement. You can send a complaint on the news if you find it unreliable.
