Riot is working on a League of Legends MMO. We know this thanks to job ads on Riot’s recruitment site confirming that it’s working on an MMO, as well as a tweet from former vice president of IP and now executive producer Greg Street essentially announcing the game back in late 2020.

"My recent job at Riot has been to help develop the League universe, which we’re going to need," said Street. "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."

So far, Riot has never shipped a disappointment. Case in point is League of Legends: Wild Rift, which recently added a new game mode and a limited-time
