Riot MMO's future is 'incredibly bright' despite co-founder likening its development to the grail: 'Many a brave knight are going to die'

The future of Riot's mysterious MMO appears promising, despite the gloomy outlook surrounding its development following the closure of 2XKO. Co-founder Marc Merrill expressed confidence during a panel at PAX West, hinting at the game's progress without providing specific details. Merrill acknowledged the challenge of exceeding player expectations, describing the project as a "grail" quest, where many dedicated workers may be lost in the pursuit.

Despite the grueling nature of developing an MMO, Merrill believes the team is making a reasonable effort and the game's prospects are "incredibly bright". While Merrill may not have been entirely serious about the grail and dying knight metaphor, his enthusiasm suggests positive developments for the project. However, no concrete information on the game's name, timeline, or release date was shared by Merrill during the panel.
