About 80 individuals have been slashed from 2XKO‘s improvement only a month after launch as Riot Video games realizes they’ll’t maintain a full-size workforce long-term for the free-to-play fighter.
Govt producer Tom Cannon penned a weblog submit, stating that with the smaller workforce, they may give attention to enhancing the sport, together with stuff they “already heard you asking for.” Now as a result of that is Riot’s venture, we don’t know precisely how lively its userbase is, however each time layoffs are concerned, we kinda doubt this was simply to restructure the workforce.
That stated, plans for the 2026 Aggressive Collection remains to be taking place so far as we all know, with commitments to “partnering with event organizers and native communities.”
The individuals affected by the layoffs have the prospect to discover alternatives inside Riot if attainable or six months of severance if not. We’re not gonna bounce to conclusions right here, however it’s actually unlucky that it solely took round a month for the 2XKO workforce to really feel the layoff burn.
What do you assume? Have you ever gotten your fingers on 2XKO? Tell us beneath!
