Riot Is Ending 2XKO Eight Months After Launch and Refunding Players
Riot Games said it will stop active development on 2XKO, its League of Legends fighting game, this December, roughly eight months after the PC launch. Riot said not enough players stuck with the game to make it sustainable. It is disabling in-game currency and refunding purchases made before the announcement, and it plans two final characters: Lux in September and Samira in October. Servers stay online and the game stays playable after December.
