'Our team is still fully committed and working hard on 2XKO' says Riot as it announces two new characters days after mass layoff announcement

Just a couple of days after announcing it was slashing the 2XKO team in half, Riot says it's "still fully committed and working hard" on the game, and to prove that? Two new characters and the promise to iron out some of its more glaring issues.

In a blog post titled "What's Next + New Champs," game director Shaun Rivera said that the team is "doubling down on building for the FGC that loves this genre." What that looks like for 2XKO—right now, anyway—is keeping things pretty much the same while cleaning up a few problem areas.
