Riot Games cuts half of 2XKO development team just weeks after launch
Riot Games has significantly downsized its 2XKO development team, cutting nearly half of its staff just weeks after the free-to-play fighting game's 1.0 launch. Citing insufficient long-term momentum, the company will now focus on key improvements with a smaller team. This follows earlier layoffs and a strategic shift towards fewer, high-impact projects at Riot.
