The MMORPG for League of Legends received a reboot some time ago. This is reported today on March 20th by Marc Merrill, the head of Riot Games. Apparently the reboot of the MMORPG is related to the departure of the game’s boss, Greg Street, in March 2023. This is what Riot Games now says about the new direction.

This is the situation:

  • The MMORPG for League of Legends, which still has no name, was presented by Riot Games in December 2020.
  • The brains and big name behind the game was Greg “Ghostcrawler” Street, who used to be an important person at Blizzard and was at the helm during the golden age of WoW.
  • But in March 2023, Ghostcrawler left Riot Games and the MMORPG, apparently there were problems with the ability to work from home. Ghostcrawler wanted to be with the family again after strokes of fate. He is now working on the new MMORPG Ghost.

    • Today on March 20th After a long period of radio silence, there was news about the LoL MMORPG and, no matter how hopeful it was, it could still worry fans.

    Development of the LoL MMORPG starts fresh under new leadership

    This is the news: Riot Games founder and boss Marc “Tryndamere” Merrill writes:

    After a long time, it was decided to restart the direction of the project. The decision was difficult, but it was made some time ago.

    The original version of the MMORPG wasn’t different enough from what you can already play now.

    “We don’t think you all want an MMO you’ve already played, just with a Runterras twist: to truly live up to Runeterra’s potential and meet the extremely high expectations of players worldwide, we need to do something which feels like a significant evolution of the genre.

    This is a big challenge, but one that our team of enthusiastic MMO players and experienced game developers will tackle with extreme motivation.”

    WoW man goes, Mass Effect man comes

    It changes: That’s not really what you say. But Tryndamere is putting a new developer in the spotlight with Fabrice Condominas, who comes from BioWare and worked there as a producer on Mass Effect 3 and Mass Effect: Andromeda.

    LoL MMORPG will now be silent for “several years”.

    That’s the bad news The bad news is that with the “restart” of production, we now have to wait even longer for information.

    Tryndamere says they will probably be quiet and develop in the dark for “several years.”

    Restart is probably related to the loss of Ghostcrawler

    This is what lies behind it: Basically, this is now the “effect” of losing Ghostcrawler. Riot Games is now starting from scratch and trying again. Implementing the vision of a man who is no longer with the company would probably make no sense, and his idea of ​​an MMORPG was still so new anyway and so little was revealed about it that we are now starting from scratch under a new head can.

    The truth is that Riot Games was hit hard by the Corona crisis and not much happened during that time anyway and the studio had to reposition itself. From reports and statements from the company we know that many Riot Games developers reoriented themselves during the Corona crisis, left the industry and Riot Games had to look for new developers so that the important projects could get running again.

    Little actually changes for players. Instead of “first information in 2026”, you can now expect “first information about the LoL MMORPG” in perhaps 2028.

    As early as March 2023, it became apparent that the LoL MMORPG could have started to waver:

    The boss of the new MMORPG for LoL is gone – fan sees indications that the game could now be “on ice”
