Riot Games is ambitiously expanding its horizons with several upcoming projects that have the gaming world buzzing with excitement. Here's a breakdown of some of the most anticipated titles on their roadmap.
One of the most awaited titles is Riot's massive multiplayer online (MMO) game set in the League of Legends universe. This game promises to immerse players in the rich lore of Runeterra, allowing them to explore its diverse regions such as Ionia, the Freljord, and Piltover. While details are scarce, the game is expected to offer a range of character classes inspired by League of Legends champions, allowing for a mix of combat, exploration, and cooperative gameplay. Riot has assured fans that this project is still in development, though it may be a few more years before it’s fully ready
Now renamed 2XKO, this project is a 2v2 fighting game based on characters from League of Legends. Designed to cater to both casual and competitive fighting game fans, 2XKO promises fast-paced gameplay and a unique control system that encourages teamwork. It will feature iconic champions from the LoL universe, each adapted with distinctive fighting mechanics. The game has been in development for several years and is expected to make a significant impact in the fighting game community when it launches
Riot is also venturing into the MMOFPS space with Project T, an upcoming first-person shooter set in the Valorant universe. Though still early in development, Project T is designed to combine elements of traditional MMOs, like deep character progression and cooperative gameplay, with fast-paced, tactical FPS mechanics. There are indications that it could rival games like Destiny by offering a live-service model with a focus on player progression, gunplay, and possibly even player housing
Another exciting project, Project F, is Riot’s foray into the action RPG genre. Set in the world of Runeterra, Project F will allow players to explore the universe cooperatively. The game is expected to offer a mix of PvE (Player vs. Environment) content with a focus on combat mechanics inspired by champions from League of Legends. Players will traverse vast landscapes, take on various enemies, and engage in boss fights, with a diverse set of champion abilities and playstyles
We may hear more exciting updates on these projects—Project L (2XKO), Project F, Project T, and the highly anticipated Riot MMO—during Riot Games' 15th anniversary events. Given the company’s tradition of making major announcements during such celebrations, it's likely that fans will get new insights, trailers, or even surprise reveals about these projects. So, stay tuned, as Riot continues to shape the future of gaming with innovative new titles and immersive experiences.
