Riot Games has given the League of Legends MMO an apt nickname: The Grail.

Riot Games has been developing an MMO set in the world of Runeterra, related to League of Legends, since 2016. Known internally as “the Grail,” this project reflects the challenging quest for a high standard of execution in game development. Co-founder Mark Merrill acknowledged the immense expectations from players while expressing confidence in the team’s ability to meet these challenges. Although the game is anticipated to release before 2030, the long development timeline highlights the complexity of creating such an ambitious title in the gaming industry.
