Riot Games‘ League of Legends MMO, the team has decided to “reset the direction” of the project and will be “‘going dark’ for a long time – likely several years”.Riot Games has been working on a League of Legends MMO set within the Runeterra universe for some time now. It was officially announced back in 2020, with a recruiting webpage shared in February 2021.
However, the latest update isn’t good news for fans who were hoping to play the game soon.Marc Merill, president of Riot Games and co-founder of League of Legends, shared the news on his Twitter that the decision to reset the direction of the game was made “some time ago.” This is because, “the initial vision just wasn’t different enough from what you can play today.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic The last time Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band played Los Angeles, back in 2016, it was to formally close down the venerable Sports Arena — “The Dump That Jumps,” as he famously dubbed the about-to-be-demolished venue he’d played so often. His song “Wrecking Ball” had a special resonance, then, in association with that dive that it can’t now: Springsteen’s current home in L.A., the Kia (nee: Fabulous) Forum, which he goes back to the ‘70s with, does jump, but no one’s going to go all Bette Davis and utter “What a dump!” about it in its refurbished state.
