Break the Meta Returns for Dragonflight Season 3
Break the Meta event returns for Dragonflight Season 3, giving players an additional chance to earn the Dreaming Banner of the Aspects toy by completing two keystones at level +17 or higher within the time limit.
Players with the highest Mythic+ Character Score for each eligible specialization in their respective region will win 60 Days of Game Time. Additionally, all players have a chance to win a bundle of prizes regardless of their score:
Riot Games MMO Project Delayed
Marc Merrill, Cofounder, Cochairman & CPO at Riot Games, shared an update on the MMO project, mentioning that the team has decided to reset its direction.
After a lot of reflection and discussion, we've decided to reset the direction of the project some time ago. This decision wasn't easy, but it was necessary. The initial vision just wasn’t different enough from what you can play today.
We don’t believe you all want an MMO that you’ve played before with a Runeterra coat of paint; to truly do justice to the potential of Runeterra and to meet the incredibly high expectations of players around the world, we need to do something that truly feels like a significant evolution of the genre.
This is a huge challenge, but one that our team of deeply passionate MMO players and game development veterans is incredibly motivated to pursue
With this new direction, I'm excited to introduce Fabrice Condominas as the new Executive Producer of the MMO. Fabrice's experience as a player and passion for creating immersive worlds is extraordinary. Having led big projects at Riot, BioWare, and EA, he brings a fresh perspective and a shared commitment to excellence that will guide our team as they continue on this difficult journey.
We started laying the groundwork for this pivot some time ago and over the last year under Vijay Thakkar’s management, we built key components of the technical foundation to create the kind of ambitious game we’re talking about. We’re grateful for Vijay’s leadership and that he’ll be part of the game leadership team going forward as our Technical Director.
Resetting our development path also means we will be "going dark" for a long time—likely several years. This silence will help provide space for the team to focus on the incredible amount of work ahead of them. We understand the excitement and anticipation that surrounds new information, but we ask for your trust during this silent phase.
Remember, 'no news is good news,' as it means we're hard at work, pouring our hearts and souls into making something that we hope you’ll love.
Thank you for believing in us and for your patience. We’re incredibly committed to this mission and we look forward to the adventure ahead and the stories we'll tell together.
