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.
