Riot Games has officially named their upcoming fighting game 2XKO, set to release in 2025 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. Gamers have been awaiting details for the title, initially known as Project L, and now they can sign up for at-home playtests expected later this year. 2XKO will feature a 2v2 fighting format, a departure from traditional one-on-one fighting games, with confirmed characters like Illaoi. Riot Games is building hype with a new roadmap, starting with the game being playable at Evo Japan and through various new social media channels dedicated to the game.

What platforms will 2XKO be available on?

2XKO will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S upon its launch in 2025.

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.
