In a surprising turn of events today, it was Riot Games’ upcoming tag-team fighter, 2XKO, that grabbed everyone’s attention instead of their popular MOBA, League of Legends. This morning, Riot Games unveiled a significant update for 2XKO, leaving both fighting game enthusiasts and veteran League players taken aback. Although 2XKO has previously been showcased through early gameplay reveals, character spotlights, and even Alpha tests, this latest update is the most substantial in months. The new trailer finally revealed something fans have eagerly anticipated since day one.
Riot’s fighting game, titled “2XKO,” is based in the universe of “League of Legends.” It’s known for its smooth animations and stylish design. Given its association with “League of Legends” and these appealing features, it appears to be a recipe for success. Previously, only a limited number of players could play it, but now, Riot has announced an upcoming Closed Beta, giving more players the opportunity to try it out themselves.
The upcoming trailer indicates that the Closed Beta will become accessible this year, specifically on September 9th. Riot Games have announced their intention to maintain the Closed Beta and keep it running indefinitely, with no set end date. Instead, they plan to continually update the game as development progresses on the project.
Sign-ups are now open for the imminent 2XKO Closed Beta! Notably, the beta will initially be available on PC, with crossplay and progression across platforms enabled. In other words, you can begin playing the game on your computer, and switch to a different platform once they become compatible in the future.
Riot Games announced that they aim to grant access to a large number of players (those who sign up) at the start of the beta, and will continue to expand access as the beta progresses. If you’ve participated in Alpha Lab One or Alpha Lab Two, you’ll automatically receive access to the upcoming Closed Beta, making it easier for you to join in the fun.
To conclude, Riot unveiled a significant character addition – Vi, one of the most renowned champions in the League of Legends universe, is now part of the 2XKO team. Known for her tough fighting style and prominent role in Arcane, Vi adds a raw, intense vibe to an already powerful roster of champions. Players will have the opportunity to try out her dynamic combat style at the start of the Closed Beta, offering a fresh take on gameplay that significantly deviates from typical League of Legends matches.
Using 2XKO, Riot Games is aiming to create a significant impact in the competitive fighting game industry. The game combines an appealing balance of accessibility and depth, while featuring a roster of characters well-known from the League of Legends universe. As development progresses and new characters are unveiled, 2XKO appears less like a secondary project and more like a significant stride for Riot’s growing collection of games.
