Riot Games Resets League of Legends MMO Development for a Unique Evolution

Seeking to break new ground, Riot appoints new leadership and plans years of silence to focus on creating a distinctive MMO experience.

Riot Games has announced a significant reset in the development of its League of Legends MMO, aiming for a more unique and evolved game experience.
The reset decision was influenced by the initial project direction being too similar to existing MMOs, lacking distinctiveness.
Fabrice Condominas has been appointed as the new executive producer, replacing Vijay Thakkar to lead the project's new direction.
Riot plans to go silent on the MMO project for several years to focus on development without external pressures.
Despite the reset and prolonged development timeline, Riot remains committed to delivering an MMO that meets high player expectations and explores the potential of the Runeterra universe.
