I bet their marketing department are having a field day
Last night, my Twitter feed was all abuzz about Riot Games announcing aLeague Of LegendsMMO. However, this excitement didn’t come from the reveal itself, but more the way it was it was revealed. There was no big marketing ploy or tantalising teaser trailer, nope - a Riot executive just casually tweeted it out.I bet their PR department are having a field day.“My recent job at Riot has been to help develop the League universe, which we’re going to need!” vice president of IP and entertainmentGreg Street posted. “Because it is time. My new job is to kick off a big (some might say massive) game that many of you, and many Rioters, have been asking us to create.“It was probably enough of a tease that he said “massive”, which led fans to jump into his mentions and ask the important questions.“Tell me now… IS IT AN MMO?""@RichelleLOL” asked. “Will I be able to pick my waifu’s clothes and hairstyle?!“It is an MMO— Greg Street (@Ghostcrawler)December 18, 2020To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settingsAlright, cool, just announce that right there then.Greg street was lead systems designer on World Of Warcraft at Blizzard for five years before moving to Riot, so it makes sense he’d be in the know about their MMO.Riot have since toldPCGamerthat, yeah, that is a thing they’re making: “Greg’s tweet is our only official statement at this time. I can confirm that he will be working on a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG).“No specific details have been shared about this MMO just yet, but it’s heavily implied it’ll be set in the League Of Legends universe, Runeterra. Street mentions that they’re hiring for the game right now, so it could be a while before we hear more about it.Watch on YouTubeRiot seem pretty determined to wham a game into as many genres as they can at the moment. Over the last couple of years, they’ve released card gameLegends Of Runeterra, autochess battlerTeamfight Tacticsand first-person shooterValorant. Then they’re working on aLoL esports manager, a mysterious multiplayer game,a fighting game,the singleplayer platformerConv/rgence, and turn-based RPGRuined Kingto boot.They also have a pretty successfulvirtual pop groupanda cartoon series on the way.

Alright, cool, just announce that right there then.
Greg street was lead systems designer on World Of Warcraft at Blizzard for five years before moving to Riot, so it makes sense he’d be in the know about their MMO.
Riot have since toldPCGamerthat, yeah, that is a thing they’re making: “Greg’s tweet is our only official statement at this time. I can confirm that he will be working on a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG).”
No specific details have been shared about this MMO just yet, but it’s heavily implied it’ll be set in the League Of Legends universe, Runeterra. Street mentions that they’re hiring for the game right now, so it could be a while before we hear more about it.
