League of Legends has grown tremendously throughout the years – reinforcing their strongholds as player favorites and remaining the leading eSports fan-favorites on betting sites like betway, along with COD and DOTA.

Riot Games hinted at the plans for its MMORPG and other games back in 2019. Since the story of League of Legends gives for superb world-building, and Legends of Runeterra expanded on it, MMORPG is just what this series required. With the success of Ruined King: A League of Legends Story, Riot Games has proved that they can create a decent story-driven game.
LoL MMORPG is Free to Play
Riot Games’ titles are usually free to play. With that in mind, this MMORPG will also be free to play with in-game purchases. Since this is branded the League of Legends MMO, it should include numerous features seen in LoL in the MMO.
The maintenance of a game with this level may be tough and costly, but no worries because it will most likely be a free game. But still, none of this has been verified.
