Riot Games announced this morning on its social media channels that it will discontinue active development of 2XKO, the free‑to‑play fighting title set within the League of Legends universe, with the final shutdown slated for December of this year.
This move comes less than twelve months after the game’s official release in January, underscoring the swift pace at which Riot is evaluating its portfolio.
In a statement posted to its website, Riot noted that it has been monitoring 2XKO’s performance closely, observing a clear, consistent pattern that informed the final decision.
Although a dedicated community of players has formed and the game sees daily activity, the engagement levels have not met the thresholds necessary for sustainable growth.
The Play2XKO team delivers a bittersweet update: active development will conclude in December, the final content patch is scheduled for October, servers will remain online, and all in‑game purchases made before August 20 will be refunded.
Riot confirms that the last content drop arrives in October, unlocking every champion, bundling all cosmetics, and refunding every dollar spent on 2XKO up to August 20.
Game servers will continue to operate beyond 2026, ensuring that offline play remains unaffected.
The statement closes with a pledge to honor players who have invested and to recognize the Riot team’s dedication to bringing the vision to life.
