Riot Games 将终止《英雄联盟》格斗游戏 2XKO 的开发并退款，距发布不到一年
资讯摘要
Riot Games 宣布将于今年12月终止旗下免费格斗游戏《2XKO》的积极开发，并为玩家提供退款。该游戏于今年1月正式上线，至今尚不满一年。Riot 表示，未能找到“可持续发展的道路”，因此决定停止后续内容更新。这一消息对格斗游戏玩家和《英雄联盟》IP 粉丝而言无疑是一大打击。2XKO 原本被视为 Riot 进军格斗游戏领域的重要尝试，借助《英雄联盟》的知名角色和世界观，游戏初期曾吸引大量关注。然而，由于市场竞争激烈、玩家留存率不及预期，加之运营成本高昂，游戏未能实现长期盈利目标。Riot 承诺将为已购买游戏内内容的玩家提供全额退款，具体退款流程将在近期公布。同时，游戏服务器将在今年年底前保持运行，但此后将关闭。这一决定也引发了行业对免费格斗游戏商业模式可持续性的讨论。对于玩家而言，这意味着他们投入的时间和金钱将付诸东流；对于行业来说，它警示了在热门 IP 基础上开发衍生游戏的风险。Riot 未来将把资源集中于《英雄联盟》《无畏契约》等核心产品上。
