Here’s the fresh look at the Gaming News Content:
Riot Games recently gave an update on its upcoming League of Legends MMO, which is still in development but is still a few years away from being released.
In a detailed post on X, studio co-founder Marc Merrill shared that Riot is fully committed to the project that was first announced in December 2020. However, the team decided to go back to the drawing board at one point in the past few years.
Merrill mentioned, “After much reflection and discussion, we made the tough decision to reset the direction of the project. The original vision just wasn’t unique enough compared to existing games. We want to create something truly groundbreaking to do justice to the potential of Runeterra.”
The project is now under the leadership of executive producer Fabrice Condominas. Condominas, who joined Riot in 2021, previously worked on games like Star Wars: Squadrons and Mass Effect series.
“We have been laying the groundwork for this new direction and have been working hard to build the technical foundation for this ambitious project,” Merrill added.
As a result of this reset, the development team will be silent for several years to focus on the extensive work ahead. However, Merrill reassured fans that they are working hard to create something extraordinary.
In another update, Riot revealed that the League of Legends fighting game previously known as Project L is now titled 2XKO. The studio is aiming for a 2025 release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
In conclusion, while fans may have to wait a bit longer for the League of Legends MMO, Riot is dedicated to creating a game that will truly stand out in the gaming world.
