Why Riot Games is Reshaping Its 2XKO Team

Riot Games is restructuring its 2XKO development team, impacting approximately 80 employees due to the game's failure to achieve expected momentum. Executive producer Tom Cannon stated that while the game has a dedicated core audience, overall engagement has not met the necessary levels for sustaining the current team size. The company is realigning resources to provide a sustainable path forward for the project and is committed to assisting affected employees with opportunities within the company, offering at least six months' notice and severance pay. The restructuring affects nearly half of the global development team, following trends observed in player engagement as the game expanded from PC to console. 2XKO launched in early access for PC in October 2025, with a console release in January 2026, and has been in development since 2019.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.
