Riot is in Development of a Destiny-Like MMO FPS
Riot is in the process of developing a new project. According to a recent job listing, it will have a resemblance to the famous FPS title Destiny.
The job listing in question was created to find a game designer to work on an “unpublished R&D product.” One of the criteria in its Required Qualifications mentioned:
“Deep familiarity with long-form progression systems from multiple angles (MMO, FPS, Premium Mobile, Competitive Multiplayer, ARPG)”
— Riot Games
And another in Desired Qualifications:
“Deep insight into modern progression systems in lifestyle games such as MMO, FPS, Premium Mobile, Competitive Multiplayer, and season-driven ARPG games”
— Riot Games
Although details are still scarce, the title is expected to be a shooter. According to PlayerIGN’s post on Twitter, the unknown project may turn out to be a Destiny 2 competitor as an MMOFPS.
Others think it could be an ExtractionFPS.
Riot’s success with Valorant puts the company in a solid position to produce another hit in the industry. Especially with its rich lore that has potential for use in other titles. However, recent challenges, including a hack and ransom email that delayed game updates, may impact the development of this new title.
Meanwhile, over the sky of Destiny 2, there is a plethora of actions going on. With the Witch Queen available for free, players have the chance to experience one of the best expansions before plunging themselves into the head-to-head confrontation of the Traveler and the Witness in Lightfall.
