Catalog note

Not a persistent MMO

  • Legends of Runeterra is a session-based multiplayer game — matches are short, instanced rounds, not a persistent shared world.
  • It's catalogued here as "Online card game" — a related but distinct genre from the persistent-world MMOs this site otherwise covers.
  • It's included in this directory because it's commonly searched for by people trying to figure out whether it counts as an MMO — this page exists to give you a straight answer.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • This entry does not belong in a true MMO catalog — flagged as a miscategorization; card games are a genre distinct from MMORPGs.
  • No persistent shared world, guilds, or open-world exploration exist in this game.
  • Best evaluated as a competitive digital card game rather than compared against genre-typical MMORPGs.
  • Development has slowed in recent years compared to its 2020 launch cadence.
