Asmongold Offers Thoughts Of Upcoming MMORPG

Zack “Asmongold,” a popular Twitch streamer, shared his opinions on Riot Games’ upcoming MMORPG project.

The content creator recently responded to mythology films about the League of Legends universe on his secondary Twitch channel Zackrawrr, and he was mesmerized after viewing a CGI clip named “The Call | Season 2022 Cinematic.” Asmongold then shared his thoughts on the massively multiplayer game being developed by Riot Games, saying that it had “everything they need to succeed.” He stated: “I hope that the… I hope it’s good. I think this is like one of those situations where it’s like, everything is in their, in like, they have everything that they need to succeed.”

Over the past few days, Zack has been routinely streaming on his secondary Twitch channel, and during recent broadcasts, he has been playing the recently released open-world multiplayer game Tower of Defense. 

Asmongold responded to some of the most popular League of Legends videos around the three-hour point of his stream on August 12 when he came across YouTuber Necrit’s video titled “The World of Riot’s MMO is Already Done.” The World of Warcraft player was then urged by fans to watch the Riot Games-produced CGI theatrical trailer that debuted earlier this year. When Zack saw that the video received more than 135 million views, he made the following statement about how popular the game was: “Okay, let’s see it. By the way, like, for the amount of hype that this game has, this came out f***ing seven months ago, it has a 138 million views. If you compare that to the Dragonflight (World of Warcraft’s upcoming expansion) announcement, it has two million views.”

After viewing the cinematic film, the OTK co-founder was impressed and thought the next MMORPG will succeed. He claimed Riot Games have all the necessary components for the game to succeed and said: “They have a tremendous, massive existing fan base, they have an apparently gigantic, f***ing world, that I didn’t even really know, like 95% of. They have a like… a huge company. So, because it’s a huge company, they can spend a tremendous amount of money. They don’t have a history of games that have pay-to-win, and that.”

To demonstrate Riot Games’ enormous success, Asmongold used the examples of Valorant and League of Legends: “So, it’s like, every single time, like, you know, one of these games comes out and people worry about, and it seems like, you know, they have the foundation, they have the resources, and also like, they have proven success too. Valorant is a great game, League of Legends is a great game. Everybody hates League of Legends, but they still do play it. So, it’s like, I feel like they’ve made very, very good games, and they’ve cupped up with those good games.”

Asmongold’s affirmation that he would play Riot Games’ MMORPG once it was released brought the conversation to an end.
