Riot is ending development on its League of Legends fighting game

Riot Games is winding down active development on 2XKO, its free-to-play League of Legends fighting game. The company announced that development will conclude by the end of 2026. This decision follows a lack of player retention, as Riot stated they have not seen enough players stick with the title to establish a sustainable path forward. Despite various efforts since the initial launch, the current player numbers were insufficient to justify the continued growth of the project.
