My time (my time) is up. Today is my last day full-time on 2XKO.
I’m feeling a lot of feelings, but they’re nothing but positive. I joined Riot as a Game Designer 2 years ago this month, and my time working on 2XKO has been one of the highlights of my life. I have a rule not to fall in love with my job, but I couldn't help myself. I love this game, I love the players, and I love the work. The game’s progress from there to now is still wild to me. Most games never have an opportunity to become great, and I can confidently say 2XKO is my favorite game of all time.
To the players, I wish you nothing but joy as you continue to play, whether that’s this year with Lux or Samira, or 5 years in the future when you want to mash buttons. I’ll be right there with you. If that’s not you – hey, no sweat, let’s get a drink at the next major. You’ve all made these past 2 years the best of my life, and there’s no better group of players I’d rather work for.
I start a new job at Riftbound tomorrow. Filling the hole in my heart left by 2XKO will take time, but continuing to work for players is how it will happen.
It’s been an honor to serve you. You've all been wonderful, truly. I'll miss this more than you can ever imagine. See you for another patch rundown before I fade away.
Thank you, and ggs

Man, I’m not gonna lie I feel like I’m still in denial 2x is already cutting dev…
Gone too soon is a massive understatement, I truly believe we would have had an all time classic with another year or two of content.

This is tough. It’s not the outcome that any of us had hoped for. I’ve been playing fighting games for over 30 years, made so many amazing friends along the way and have been lucky to experience some unbelievable moments across many legendary titles. I dreamed of one day creating something special for the FGC to help enable even more of those moments. I wanted to give back to the community that had given me so much.
2XKO is the culmination of that dream. This is a dream shared by every member of our team. The amount of love and passion everyone who has ever worked on this game has put into it is unreal. The team delivered a fighting game where you could fight against your friends or choose to take on the world together alongside them. They delivered and elevated League of Legends champions in ways that only a fighting game could.
We made a called shot when 2XKO was born as a mixed mode solo/duo game that if two of the top 8 slots of Evo were Duos, then we have achieved our goal of making playing with a friend a competitively viable endeavor in fighting games. The Evo crowd was treated with the first 2XKO top 8 match on finals day being a duo vs duo match sending one team home and deciding who is the strongest duo. This was unbelievably special for the team.
Even though we are ending active development at the end of the year, I am glad that folks will be able to play 2XKO beyond that, and that the love poured into it will live on. The team is giving everything they’ve got to deliver a final version of 2XKO to you that everyone can be proud of. We can’t wait for you to play Lux and Samira, so please look forward to them.
Thank you to everyone who has worked on 2XKO for creating a really special game, and thank you to all of the players who created moments we will never forget.

Gonna take some time to figure out what to do for 2027 - will definitely go hard on Tokon, and will likely pick up another game or maybe play some Melee again + focus on content.
My heart goes out to everyone who worked on 2XKO, genuinely my favorite fighting game in a long time

Yesterday, I got absolutely destroyed by ATIF in practice matches.
ASH was right next to me at the time, and he gave me some advice in Japanese:
“Keisuke-san, believe in yourself.”lol
So I did exactly what he said and wrote it down in my notebook.
But today, I feel like those words really saved me.
I’ll keep doing my best in Phase 2 as well.

To everyone that played Tokon beta quick question.
How do we feel about the 4 button limit? Me personally I think its the dumbest shit you could ever have for a fighting game let alone a tag fighter. #MARVELTōkon
