World of Warcraft Producer Has Officially Joined Riot Games

by

Okay, so it looks like we might finally be getting some real updates on that League of Legends MMO Riot announced ages ago! I just heard that Raymond Bartos, a producer who used to work on World of Warcraft, joined Riot and is now working on the project. Honestly, things have been kinda quiet and there’s been some behind-the-scenes stuff happening, including a big restart earlier this year. But getting someone with Bartos’s experience on board? That feels like a really good sign that the game is actually moving forward again. I’m cautiously optimistic!

Both World of Warcraft and League of Legends are incredibly popular online multiplayer games, but they offer quite different ways to play. World of Warcraft is known for its huge, immersive world where players complete quests, fight monsters, collect items, and develop their characters. League of Legends, however, is a team-based strategy game where players control powerful characters called “champions” and battle to protect their base while trying to destroy the enemy’s. For a long time, fans have wondered what a game combining the best parts of both worlds might look like, and the recent hiring of Bartos to work on Riot Games’ new massively multiplayer online game could be the answer they’ve been waiting for.

League of Legends MMO Project Adds World of Warcraft Producer

Raymond Bartos shared on social media that he’s joining the team working on Riot Games’ upcoming massively multiplayer online game (MMO). He expressed his enthusiasm for creating an MMO that players will genuinely love. Bartos will be working alongside Orlando Salvatore, a former colleague from World of Warcraft, who is already the engineering manager for the Riot MMO. Both have extensive experience contributing to World of Warcraft expansions and updates. Given their background, players might anticipate a substantial and well-supported game. While the project’s current stage isn’t clear, especially after a significant restart in 2024, Bartos seems eager to revitalize development and move the game forward.

Details about the story and world of the upcoming League of Legends MMO are still scarce, leaving fans to guess what it will be like. Many are hoping it will connect with the popular animated series Arcane, which is widely praised as a fantastic adaptation of the game’s universe. Because fans often feel the League of Legends game itself doesn’t quite match the tone of Arcane, Riot Games might want to capitalize on the show’s success with the MMO. However, Riot also needs to make sure the MMO appeals to existing League of Legends players, so the development team is working to strike a balance that will satisfy both longtime fans and newcomers.

Whether we’ll hear any official news about the League of Legends MMO soon is still unknown, but Raymond Bartos recently joining Riot Games suggests the project is still in development. Players eager for updates can follow Riot Games for news on the MMO, as well as information about League of Legends, World of Warcraft, and other online multiplayer games.
