Riot Games, known for the immensely popular League of Legends, has ventured into new gaming genres over the years. 2XKO marks their entry into the fighting game community, an arena with a competitive and passionate fanbase. The game's 2v2 format hints at a strategic twist to the traditional fighting game mechanics, potentially requiring players to not only master individual characters but also their synergy with partners. With 2XKO, Riot looks to carve out a new niche within the genre while also leveraging their established universe and character pool, creating a fresh yet familiar experience for fans.
