SCOOP: Riot Games canceled work on a second fighting game, code-named Pool Party, in late May. About 70-80 people were working on the project, a platform fighter in the vein of Smash Bros. Melee set in the League of Legends universe. readergrev.com/p/riot-games-p…
The news comes amid a rough 2024 for the video game industry — though a source told me that about half of the team had received an offer to be reassigned within the studio. readergrev.com/p/riot-games-p…
@LeaderGrev ...why in the world were they working on two different fighting games at the same time?
@LeaderGrev It’s crazy to this melee was made in like 13 months, accidentally becomes the best platform fighter and no one can replicate its success after 20+ years
@LeaderGrev Crazy that it specifically says melee-like, makes you think about it
@LeaderGrev "nervous about the failure of multiversus" like you wouldnt be able to do something that would blow that game out of the water completely,a live service FTP platform fighter on the level of smash is what i dream about,if someone could have pulled that off it would have been riot
@LeaderGrev RESUME DEVELOPMENT OR CONSEQUENCES
@LeaderGrev This is actually a tragedy, it could have given us access to so many other characters in Riots IP, or even just the variety of stages they could do with a melee-like. It would be a perfect time to crossover LoR and all the other subdivisions.
@LeaderGrev EIGHTY??? PEOPLE??? Someone PLEASE tell them about Rivals 2 so they know there's hope for plat fighters
@LeaderGrev multiverses was BAD that's why it was a failure 😭 we want a good melee like game so bad
@LeaderGrev i can't believe multiverses took this from us what a fucking tragedy
@LeaderGrev @DependanceTime @Glopeur Je suis abattu !
@LeaderGrev Multiversus is a slow mess to play. That failing made them nervous?
@LeaderGrev That would been very interesting to see. Though, they shouldn’t be so worried about other new platform fighters and just go for it.
@LeaderGrev Think they've had about 8 or 9 Smash Bros games in development at Riot over the years!
