League of Legends spinoff fighting game 2XKO just enjoyed its full, official launch on January 20 and now, just three weeks later, Riot has laid off a number of its developers.
Game Developer reports about 80 employees have been impacted by what executive producer Tom Cannon is describing in an announcement post as “an important update on 2XKO.”
“As we expanded from PC to console, we saw consistent trends in how players were engaging with 2XKO,” Cannon explains. “The game has resonated with a passionate core audience, but overall momentum hasn’t reached the level needed to support a team of this size long term.” He promises, “This isn’t a judgment on individual Rioters or a signal that the journey is over. We’re reshaping the team to give 2XKO a more sustainable path forward.”
