"Riot Games' Future: Staff Layoffs and Road Ahead"

Riot Games is refocusing on fewer high-impact projects, leading to the elimination of about 11% of its workforce, with a focus on core live games like League of Legends, VALORANT, Teamfight Tactics, and Wild Rift. The company aims to integrate esports, music, and entertainment more tightly with its games, while also making changes to Legends of Runeterra and ending new game development under Riot Forge. The strategy moving forward is to prioritize what resonates most with players and deliver meaningful experiences with games at the center.
