Little is known about the new MMORPG in the League of Legends universe, but the recent vacancy in Riot Games allows you to evaluate the current progress of development. The idea of creating such a game has long excited the minds of many players, and at the end of 2020 active work began under the guidance of the experienced Greg “Ghostcrawler” by Strith, who previously held the post of leading designer World of Warcraft. Despite the fact that Street subsequently left the project to engage in his own game, the development is still ongoing.
2024 was difficult to play, because the leadership decided to restart the development. Since then, the information about the future MMORPG has come extremely meager. There was no clarity, what part of previously developed concepts and ideas will be preserved or created from scratch. Key aspects, such as content, mechanics and even basic principles of the game, including camera and combat system, are still uncertain. However, a new vacancy gives an idea of the current state of affairs.
Riot Games is looking for an experienced specialist for the position of the “main game designer of levels” for his MMORPG. This developer will be responsible for creating game levels and parts of the world in cooperation with other team members. This role requires many years of experience, as well as participation in the development of a large AAA project. An additional requirement is the experience with multi-user PVE and PVP games, such as ARPG and MMO.
According to the vacancy description, the development of MMORPG according to League of Legends is still under prototyping. The new employee will have to contribute to the transition of the project to the pre -production phase. The stage of prototyping is the stage of video game development when various prototypes of systems, worlds and ideas are created to test their viability and potential. This stage precedes the long -term production process. Considering that the development of AAA-MMORPG can occupy many years (for example, Throne and Liberty has been created for 12 years, and Lost Ark is 8 years old), it can be assumed that players have to wait for MMORPG on League of Legends for more than one year.
