Riot 停止开发其格斗游戏 2XKO
资讯摘要
Riot Games 今日宣布，将停止开发其备受期待的格斗游戏《2XKO》。这一决定距该公司因“整体势头未能达到长期支持如此规模团队所需的水平”而解雇约 80 名开发人员仅过去六个月。尽管游戏在线服务器将继续保持可用，玩家仍可进行离线游戏，但团队将不再进行积极的开发工作。这意味着《2XKO》将不会获得新的角色、平衡性更新或功能改进，其未来前景变得黯淡。作为《英雄联盟》世界观下的格斗游戏，《2XKO》原本承载着 Riot 拓展非 MOBA 品类的期望。此次开发的终止，不仅令期待已久的格斗游戏社区感到失望，也反映出 Riot 在自身产品线调整上的谨慎态度。在格斗游戏市场竞争日益激烈的当下，诸如《街头霸王6》和《铁拳8》等作品势头强劲，《2XKO》的退场或许意味着 Riot 需要重新评估其在小众品类中的投入策略。对于已经等待多年的玩家，这是一个沉重的打击；而对于行业观察者而言，这一事件再次证明，即使是大厂，在长线运营和项目立项上也需要审慎考量。目前，官方尚未透露是否会将游戏资产开源或转让，但显然，Riot 已将重心转向其他更具潜力的项目。
