After successful games such as
Riot Games, League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics, he also entered the martial games sector. 2XKO, the company is developing and currently in the Alpha test, was recognized as Project L by the former name. However, Riot announced that in May the “Pool Party” has canceled another martial game project called code.
Riot Games Canceled Fighting Game Project
The “Pool Party” project was planned as a close fight and platform game in the Super Smash Bros style, the League of Legends universe. In the project, a team of 70-80 people, but Riot decided to stop this project. After the project has been terminated, the half of the team was directed to other positions in the studio, but about ten people were removed from work or left from the company with their wishes.
Riot Games’s senior communication director Joe Hixson, “There is always a number of projects in various stages of the R&D and some changes occur in year for projects.” Riot is thought that if the project clearly states the causes of cancellation, the martial games scene may now be saturated and may be effective in the decisions of this situation.
This cancellation comes from a period of over 500 employees at the beginning of Riot Games. The other project in the company’s martial games is planned to be released in 2025 and the records for the Alpha tests of the game continue.
