Riots Games to Build MMO Based on VALORANT
According to rumors, Riot Games’ upcoming MMO is likely to be an MMOFPS set in the same universe as VALORANT, its popular multiplayer first-person shooter.
Consequently, The Riot MMO website has tracked various details found in Project T job listings, conversations, and even player surveys that support the contention that Riot’s MMO is an MMOFPS.
It is common for job postings to mention skills such as “progression that includes collecting and selling gear such as guns, armor, or accessories” or “experience working with cameras or controls in a AAA PvP FPS”
Riot announced a few years ago that its MMO would be going dark. Marc Merrill, Riot’s vice president of gaming, told us that his team is still working on it, but they had to start over from scratch.
Since Riot’s game wasn’t sufficiently different from the kinds of MMOs players can play currently, Merrill believes that the studio must build something that represents a “significant evolution of the genre”.
