In a surprising move, Riot Games has decided to pause development on the League of Legends-themed MMO for several years. The decision comes as the team feels the initial vision wasn’t unique enough and didn’t stand out from existing games in the genre. This major reset means fans will have to wait a long time before hearing any updates on the project, with the potential for significant changes in direction. Former EA and BioWare veteran Fabrice Condominas will be leading the project as the new executive producer, signaling a fresh start for the MMO. With this delay, players will have to continue enjoying the base MOBA game while waiting for the revamped MMO to emerge from the shadows.
