League of Legends developer Riot Games has announced that it's laying off 11% of its workforce, representing 530 employees.
The layoffs primarily impacted teams "outside of core development," CEO Dylan Jadeja said in a lengthy update on Riot's website. The employees affected will receive a minimum of six months of severance pay, a cash bonus, and extensive support including hardware if needed, job placement services, additional pay for health insurance, and more.
The company also announced that the scope of Legends of Runeterra is being reduced as well as the end of its publishing label, Riot Forge, which was focusing on titles set in the League of Legends universe.
