The following is a copy of the internal message from our CEO.

TLDR: Riot is downscaling. The severance package is great but it’s another round of layoffs in the industry.

This will also majorly affect Legends of Runeterra. They’re putting the game on life support it seems, and will focus on the PvE mode.

They’re also shutting down Riot Forge, their collaboration with other studios to make smaller games with their IP.
