League of Legends Fighting Game Officially Named "2XKO," Playtests Available in 2024
Get ready to rumble, Runeterra! Riot Games has finally unveiled the official name for their long-awaited League of Legends fighting game: 2XKO. This punchy title reflects the game's core 2v2 tag-team gameplay and is a welcome upgrade from the previous placeholder, "Project L."
Mark your calendars, Champions, as 2XKO is set to launch in 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Eager players can stay updated by following @Play2XKO on various social media platforms.
With development ramping up and the name confirmed, Riot is excited to connect with the fighting game community. Throughout 2024, players will have opportunities to experience the game firsthand via playtests and demos, with the first chance coming at EVO Japan this April. Sign-ups for at-home playtests later this year are also open on the official website.
While the name is new, details about 2XKO have been steadily revealed since its 2019 announcement. Developed in collaboration with Radiant Entertainment, the game brings the beloved League of Legends universe to the fighting genre. Familiar Champions like Ekko, Ahri, Darius, and Yasuo will be ready to throw down, with more likely to join the roster.
Riot has emphasized that 2XKO will be a free-to-play experience, valuing both your time and wallet. Having gone hands-on at EVO 2023, we can attest to the exciting tag-team combat and the faithful representation of the League of Legends world. So, gear up, summoners, and prepare to 2XKO your opponents in 2025!
