Riot is making an MMO—that's not exactly news, given it's been technically making one since 2020. But its continued survival has been brought into question because, well, it's been making one since 2020. Plus, in March of last year, the company hit the reset button on it, which isn't typically a sign things are going well in an industry that's rather cutthroat.
There's still plenty of hope to go around, though—despite some layoffs early last year, Riot's mysterious MMO is still a bucket list item for its co-founder, Marc Merrill. That's as per a recent Game File interview with journalist Stephen Totilo. When asked by Totilo if they still thought an MMO was worth its weight in dev time, Merrill says: "Oh yeah. It's probably the project I personally spend the most time on as well."
