I personally don't think it's an MMO, but maybe it's something new and fresh! I'm so freaking hyped right now.

Reddit post with some insight:

Edit:

And remember, they moved Ghostcrawler to the head of a secret project 3 months ago.

He has a history of MMOs

Again, Im not saying it's an MMO

But I wouldnt be surprised if we're getting something huge

From his offical Boards post:

"We’ve been up front that we want to put the S in Riot Games, and I am helping with that effort. In addition, we have been taking Runeterra as a world more seriously, as you’ve probably realized with the release of the Ryze CG and the world map. While telling stories is really important to us (and I hope many of you), there is a limit to the kinds of stories we can tell in League of Legends without getting in the way of a competitive, multiplayer game. So, many of our stories will have to come through other mediums, and of course that possibly includes other games."

Plotwist: They will rename the game because the League doesnt exist anymore in the lore.

It's either that or a mobile game.

Something that focuses a progressing story would be a great change of pace. I love League's characters and aesthetic, but I just completely hate their sports-driven balancing and design philosophies. I'd love to play a Runeterra game that isn't so deeply rooted in the e-sports compeitive bullshit.

Please let it be a story focused game. Please let it substantial forward the story of the world, please let it be good.

I'm sure it's as plausible as the Void event you made people think was happening. "We're getting something huge" if you say so.

It'll be a battle royale

I dunno, are MMOs even as strong as they were in the past? I would hope it's a Diablo style game, that would be epic IMO.

Honestly i Hope its not an MMORPG i feel they just arnt as fun to get into if you dont start day one and spend your life on them.

What i do hope, is its something closer to Warframe or Diablo, where it has a vast world and lore but its more mission / instance based allowing me to do short or long sessions and not spending tons of hours traveling from point a to point b doing fetch quest

I hope its a fighting game. The only thing I like as much as League are fighting games!

It's going to be a movie. A live action tie in movie. And it's going to suck, because all game tie-in movies do.

Now we just have to wait several years for anything to be released. I don't want to get hyped because it will just make the wait feel longer.

If there are factions, you can count on me joining Noxus, or the Shadow Isles... Or both O_o
