The Sofia studio was reportedly about to be sold to Creative Assembly (a few weeks before Avni Yerli claimed Riot wanted to buy the team) and there was also a buyer for the Shanghai team so there would be plenty of money to start new projects

- The company is imploding and more and more executives are leave the sinking ship: The Engine Creative Director left last fall. The Director of Production left in the summer. The Audio Director has left/been fired in the fall (rumors). The Engine Business Director left in February. The Marketing Director was fired in January. The Executive Producer of all VR titles left/is leaving in March.
