Riot reportedly scraps plans for Smash-inspired platform fighter based in LoL universe
The League of Legends community might be raring to go with Riot Games’ upcoming fighting game 2XKO, but little did they know the developers might have had another fighting game in the pipeline that would have brought the exciting world of platform fighting to Runeterra.
Riot was reportedly developing a Smash-inspired title called Pool Party, which would’ve featured champions from League on a classic platform-based fighting system, according to reporter Mikhail Klimentov. The prototype title was, however, closed this past May, with about 70 to 80 employees working on its systems at the time of its cancellation.
