Naming Gauntlet: How 2XKO Almost Became Project L’s Name

Riot explains the arduous, collaborative process behind naming its in-development fighting game Project L: hundreds of ideas (~400), ten finalists, and a careful weighing of League of Legends ties, bold branding, and fighting-game terminology. 2XKO emerged as the standout favorite, but the rollout didn’t perfectly align with that choice, illustrating that naming is highly subjective and context-driven. The team ultimately grew into the name as part of a broader branding effort.

Riot trims 2XKO team, lays off about 80 workers amid momentum concerns

Riot Games is downsizing the 2XKO development team by about 80 employees because the free-to-play fighting game hasn’t reached a level to sustain a team of that size long term, with Riot noting that almost half of the global development staff are affected. The company will assist impacted workers in finding opportunities within Riot and will provide at least six months of notice plus severance pay. 2XKO launched in early access for PC in October 2025 and is scheduled for a January 20, 2026 console release; development began in 2019 under the codename Project L.
