據Insider Gaming報道，在《魔獸世界》首席製作人Raymond Bartos在上個月宣布離開暴雪之後，他終於透露了他職業規劃的下一步：加入Roit Games操刀其MMO項目。
據介紹，Raymond Bartos在暴雪任職已有三年，在此期間推動了多個版本更新與活動。他在推特上表示，他將加入Riot Games，參與其正在開發的MMO項目，並擔任高級遊戲製作人一職。
他還特別強調錶示，Riot Games的價值觀是促使他加入的重要原因之一。他表示，在Riot，「善意、尊重與關懷並不只是口號」，而是團隊真正踐行的理念。
I’m incredibly excited to be joining @riotgames on the MMO team!!! From my very first conversation with Riot, I immediately gravitated toward their values—and I was genuinely impressed by how clearly those values showed up throughout the interview process. It made it obvious that kindness, respect, and care aren’t just words here, but something the team truly lives by. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to join such an inspiring group of people, and I can’t wait to get started—showing up every day to provide value for Riot gamers and help deliver an MMO experience players truly enjoy. And as a fun bonus I’ve been barely able to contain: I’ll be re-queuing with my longtime duo partner, @KirbyAu . Given our track record on World of Warcraft, I have a feeling we’ll be moving fast on day one. 🙂 Special Note: I am very grateful for all of you who have reached out on my last post and in direct messages! ❤️
至於這部MMO遊戲的真實情況，上一次較為重要的官方更新還要追溯到2024年。當時Riot的聯合創始人談到，團隊已經決定重置項目方向。這次重置也意味著項目將「沉寂數年」，而目前的情況似乎正是如此。Riot並不希望做一款「只是披著符文之地外衣的傳統MMO」，而是希望打造一款真正能讓人感受到類型進化的作品。
從《魔獸世界》這樣的「老牌MMO天花板」，到尚未露出真容、卻野心不小的Riot MMO，這次關鍵製作人的「轉會」，究竟會成為一次類型突破的起點，還是又一段漫長等待的開始？
如果你是MMO玩家，你更期待的是「熟悉但更精緻」，還是一次徹底打破框架的重來？歡迎在留言區聊聊你的真實想法。
