Will Riot MMO be Top Down?

The Riot MMO will not be top down. It will be third person action combat. Through an official Riot Games job ad, we found it explicitly called for experience developing a 3rd person action combat game.

Furthermore, Riot Games is currently developing an isometric ARPG dubbed Project F. Of course the camera perspective and other aspects of the Riot MMO can change. Still, we find Riot Games developing an isometric game to be a detractor from the possibility that the Riot MMO would also be top down.

Will Riot MMO be on Console?

There has been no official word on the Riot MMO coming to consoles. Although there was a hint at the Riot MMO being developed with console and mobile in mind.

In a job posting for a Lead Game Designer – Combat, one of the desired qualifications included,

  • Experience across a variety of platforms like PC, console, and mobile.

We will keep this section updated as more information becomes available.
