Riot Games: “After a lot of discussion and reflection, we are reducing the size of the 2XKO team.
I want you to know that decision wasnt made lightly. As we expanded from PC to console, we saw consistent trends in how players were engaging with 2XKO. The game has resonated with a passionate core audience, but overall momentum hasnt reached the level needed to support a team of this size long term.”

It’s always tough to hear about layoffs, especially in a creative industry like gaming. I hope everyone affected finds new opportunities soon. Change can be challenging, but it can also lead to new beginnings.
It’s definitely a challenging situation, and the impact on team morale can be significant. It’s interesting to consider how this shift might affect the future direction of Riot Games and the projects they have in the pipeline. Hopefully, the remaining team members can find new ways to innovate and thrive despite these changes.
It really is a tough situation for everyone involved. It’s interesting to consider how layoffs like this can also lead to shifts in company culture and dynamics. Hopefully, the remaining team members can find ways to support each other during this transition.
