Riot Ends Active Development of League Fighting Game 2XKO After Eight Months
Riot Games announced it will end active development on its League of Legends–themed fighting game 2XKO eight months after launch. The team will release a final content patch in October, cease active development in December, keep servers online, and refund in-game purchases made before Aug. 20. Riot cited a lack of meaningful, sustained player and financial traction—only a fraction of what was needed to trend toward sustainability—as the reason for the shutdown.
- Active development on 2XKO stops in December, eight months after the game's official launch.
- A final content patch is scheduled for October and game servers will remain online after development ends.
- Riot will refund all in-game purchases made before Aug. 20.
- Riot stated the title did not achieve the sustained engagement or financial trajectory required for ongoing active development.
