Riot Games has officially announced that active development on its highly anticipated League of Legends fighting game, 2XKO, will permanently draw to a close in December 2026.
Substantial initial excitement surrounding its launch, the title struggled to maintain a sufficiently large, consistent player base over time to justify ongoing production costs, which company executives noted substantially exceeded the long term revenue generated by the live service title.
Active feature development, the fighting game will not be shutting down entirely. Riot Games confirmed that servers will remain active and fully operational well beyond 2026, allowing the existing community to continue playing.
Development team intends to deliver a final wave of planned content throughout the remainder of the year, including the official roster additions of fan favorite champions Lux and Samira.
Fighting game enthusiasts and League of Legends fans are understandably saddened by the news, the decision reflects the intense competitive landscape of modern live service gaming.
Final chapter of active support approaches this December, players can still look forward to mastering the upcoming champions and enjoying the titles remaining content updates.
