Possible Hints About Riot’s Unnamed MMORPG Game

Still eager for details about Riot Games’ MMORPG, set in the League of Legends universe? While we don’t have concrete, official news to share just yet, a recent job posting at Riot offers some intriguing hints.

As reported by MassivelyOP (thanks for the tip!), a LinkedIn post, published three weeks ago, is seeking a “Staff Software Engineer, Core Tech” to contribute to the League MMO project in Los Angeles. The posting specifies that the successful candidate will collaborate with the Core Tech team on “long term architecture” and “build[ing] out system that power an MMO for years to come.” The position requires 6+ years of game engineering experience and experience shipping a title. Desired programming languages include C and C++.

Beyond the qualifications, the job posting also sheds light on the game’s potential direction. Orlando Salvatore’s original post was reshared by Kyle Senen, who mentioned “building foundational systems that will let thousands of players interact seamlessly in a persistent sandbox world.” This suggests that the League MMO will likely be an open-world sandbox experience. It’s important to remember that the game is still in development, and these plans could evolve before its eventual release. So, this is still subject to change as development progresses.
