It's no secret that Riot Games is working hard to diversify its pool of titles.
Over the past couple of years, the developers of League of Legends have added multiple titles that are derivatives of their widely popular MOBA franchise, with one in Valorant that's a completely original IP as well.
With that said, what Riot Games Vice President of IP and Entertainment, Greg Street, revealed back in December 2020, was still quite a bit of a shock. League of Legends MMO Is In The Works https://twitter.com/Ghostcrawler/status/1339722821761605632
With Street and later on, Riot, confirming the existence of the League of Legends MMO project, it's safe to say that it is indeed in the works. However, the earlier tweet suggested that the project was still in its very early stages. But, now, we have confirmation that it is slowly inching towards completion.
Riot Games recently put up an entirely new page on their website that's specifically dedicated to recruiting people to work on the upcoming League of Legends MMO. The said landing page suggests that Riot Games is currently looking for folks with experience in game design and gameplay engineering, among others.
In addition to this, Riot also noted that while they are looking for those with previous experience working in MMOs, it's not a hard requirement. The California-based video game development company went on to encourage everyone to reach out still and submit an application.
