Overview
- A company spokesperson confirmed that around 12 publishing roles were eliminated across a few offices on February 26.
- Riot said the reductions coincided with other small, team-by-team changes that affected a handful of individuals.
- The latest cuts follow layoffs of roughly 80 people—about half the global team—on the 2XKO development project earlier this month.
- Riot has pledged to continue supporting 2XKO with a smaller, focused team and to keep competitive plans in place.
- The affected publishing groups handled player-facing delivery work such as website publishing, video uploads, and populating game clients with new content.
