Riot Games Issues Second Set Of Layoffs This Month

Riot Games has announced a second round of layoffs this month, affecting around 100 employees in total. The first round saw the dismissal of approximately 80 staff members working on the League of Legends-themed fighting game 2XKO, due to insufficient player momentum. The second round, affecting 12 individuals across three publishing teams, was confirmed by a company spokesperson. While not the largest number of layoffs seen in the industry, it is significant for Riot Games, as it represents about half of the development team for 2XKO.
