League of Legends developer Riot Games has announced it's laying off 530 employees - roughly 11 percent of its total global workforce - saying it's making the decision as it refocusses on "fewer, high-impact projects to move us toward a more sustainable future." We jumped headfirst into creating new experiences and broadening our portfolio, and grew quickly as we became a multi-game, multi-experience company — expanding our global footprint, changing our operating model, bringing in new talent to match our ambitions, and ultimately doubling the size of Riot in just a few years." The company is also shutting down RiotForge - the initiative that has seen it work with smaller indie studios to develop several well-recieved titles based on its IP, including the Ruined King, Song of Nunu, and the upcoming Bandle Tale - and reducing the size of its Legends of Runeterra team.
