Riot Games has officially renamed its long-awaited League of Legends-related fighting game Project L to 2XKO. The game has been confirmed to launch in 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. Fans can anticipate a playable demo at EVO Japan in April, and there will be opportunities to partake in playtests later this year. Set in the League of Legends universe of Runeterra, 2XKO is a 2D tag-team fighter that enables players to choose a duo of champions and battle against another pair. Furthermore, it was previously announced that the game will adopt a free-to-play model.

When is 2XKO coming out?

2XKO is scheduled for release in 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S.

2XKO hails from the vibrant world of Runeterra, the same universe inhabited by League of Legends' champions. This game is a testament to Riot Games' ongoing effort to expand beyond their flagship MOBA title. Riot has a reputation for building deep lore and intricate worlds, so 2XKO is expected to enhance the narrative of Runeterra and its characters. The decision to make 2XKO a free-to-play game follows the same approach as League of Legends, aiming to attract a large player base and more than likely, offer cosmetic in-game purchases as a revenue stream.
