Everything We Know About Riot’s New Game – 2XKO

A New Fighting Game Enters The Ring!

2XKO (previously known as Project L) is the latest game entry from Riot Games that set in the universe, widely known as Runeterra which features in multiple beloved games and series such as League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics and Arcane. But 2XKO is something entirely different from the usual top-down gameplay which begs the question, what is 2XKO?

2XKO – A Tag-Team Arena Fighting Game

2XKO is Riot’s attempt to penetrate the massive fighting game genre that spans across quite the majority of E-Sports world, where games such as Tekken and Street Fighter being the dominant competitions. However, 2XKO is in a very early state in production and the alpha playtest set to begin in August for PC, Xbox and PlayStation 5. Here’s everything we know about the game:

Point And Assist Role – Bringing A Unique Gameplay To Tag Team Fight!

As most of fighting games, the game starts by picking the characters and at the moment until the alpha playtest, players can only choose from 6 heroes (5 known and 1 surprise character). The playtest will have includes only online play and you can invite your friends over to try the game and give feedbacks to the developer.

2XKO is a 2V2 game and each team has a Point Hero and Assist Hero. The Point is the primary champion and performs most of the moves and combos while Assist is the character that aids the Point while the combat is happening. Hopefully, the Assist is as much appreciated in other competitive games like Valorant, DOTA, COD where we get all the love (we don’t and that’s sarcasm).

Fuse or Passive

Fuse is a passive that the players can choose to assist them all throughout the combat. Aside from the previous fuse such as the 2x assist, there will be new fuse called Pulse Fuse where it will help the players do the moveset and combo easier. This is to make the game more accessible for new players to get into the fighting game genre, while simultaneously helps veteran players to get used to new characters and combos.

All in all, Riot Games seems to very committed for this game and the love they poured to make the game enjoyable for everyone is such a positive thing to see, which leads me to believe that the game will be quite big and maybe becomes the next big e-sports game!
