The LoL MMO "is making a lot of momentum" after its reboo🎐t, according to Riot Games co-founder Marc Merrill.

Speaking to Marc 'Caedrel' Lamont during the League of Legends Worlds Finals on Saturday (via ), Merrill was asked if could provide any kind of update on the LoL MMO. In response, he said that Riot is "working hard on it," and that "it's the proj𓂃ect I've spent, personally, the most amount of time on."

"I really think the team has a great direction now and is making a lot of momentum," Merrill continued. That's good news for a project that's had a rocky couple of years. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:First a𝓀nnounced nearly four years agꩵo because 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Riot thought it would probably leak a🦩nyway, the project 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:lost its lead developer - former Blizzard developer Greg Street - in March 2023. A year after that, we got our most recent update on the game, which Riot told us was being "reset," and "going꧂ dark" for a long tim💎e

A touch of optimism remained even in that message, but it remains hard to get any sense of what Riot's internal workings on the project look like - not least because, prior to his departure, Street told fans that the company would have no qualms about cancelling the LoL MMO if it wasn't "go♚od en🔯ough."

Merrill notes the "𒁏expectations" that he knows fans have for the project, and says that Riot is "going to try not to 🦄disappoint," but it doesn't seem like we're likely to get anything more concrete than that for some time yet.

Last year, I said I was starting to get really worried about my most-anticipated MMO - and I'm still not feeling much better about it.
