Riot Games, the developer of 2v2 fighter 2XKO, is back with an important but difficult update to share: the size of the team will be reduced going forward. The developers note that this decision was not made lightly, but the game has not reached the momentum level required to support a team of this size.
“With a smaller, focused team, we’re going to dig in and make key improvements to the game, including some of the things we’ve already heard you asking for. We’ll share some of our plans soon. Our plans for the 2026 Competitive Series are unchanged. We remain committed to partnering with tournament organizers and local communities. Our focus will continue to be on supporting the events and organizers that already power the FGC.”
The team also notes that it is committed to supporting impacted Rioters through this transition – by helping them explore other opportunities within Riot and providing a minimum of 6 months of notice pay and severance where it’s not possible.
