2XKO Berlin Preview Event from Riot.

If you have not heard it yet - Riot Games is soon launching a new game - 2XKO.

Together with our Project Worldwide partner agency OS Studios we helped Riot Games to bring together the game developers with Gaming Influencers and Creators from EMEA for two days where they could explore, discuss and of course play the game together. Allowing Riot Games to get direct feedback from the Fighting Game Community - for an even better upcoming gaming experience.

Today is German Diversity Day, initiated 12 years ago by Charta der Vielfalt e.V. - a day to shine a spotlight on and in organizations. As a proud signatory, we're deeply committed to that pledge. We don't just talk; we take action every day.

Human identity is like an iceberg, made up not only of visible features but also of invisible elements such as our backgrounds, attitudes, experiences and beliefs. These facets intersect to make us unique and shape our personality. They also overlap with our physical, psychological, and neurological abilities.

Many people from minoritized groups often experience identity-based bias and microaggressions throughout their employment journey - from hiring, to day-to-day work, promotions, and off-boarding.

By continuously reviewing our policies and practices, we make sure to stand with our commitment and base them on respect, dignity and a feeling of belonging. It's about creating opportunities for all individuals to thrive and contribute meaningfully.

Besides retaining a diverse pool of talent & creativity, we simply believe it's the right thing to do.

Our latest employee survey from April 2024 among our GPJ Germany colleagues showed, that 92% consider the diversity of our team as above average, while 77% consider the same for our equity efforts. A testament to our continuous efforts but not the finish line for us.

In the coming days, we'll lend our fellow GPJers a platform to share their voices under the motto of this year's German Diversity Day .
