Rough Year for 2D Fighters: 2XKO’s End and Marvel Tōkon Port Woes Define 2026
Riot Games ended active development on 2XKO after a rocky console launch, while Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls struggled with a troubled PC port. Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game faced ongoing controversy and an unfinished feel, and Invisible VS faded quickly, with Quarter Up reportedly laying off most staff after the fighter failed to gain traction, making 2026 a disappointing year for 2D fighting games overall.
