Riot Games co-founder Marc Merrill stated during a PAX West 2026 panel that the fighting game 2XKO is not considered a failure, despite the company's decision to cease development by the end of the year. While the free-to-play title will remain accessible to players, it will no longer receive new champions or additional content updates following the conclusion of its development cycle.
In a separate industry development, Sega has officially canceled its 'Super Game' project, a global AAA initiative first announced in 2021. Originally slated for release around March 2026, the project was terminated following a review of financial performance, as disclosed in the company's latest earnings report.
