Riot Games has unveiled Vi as the eighth character for their highly anticipated fighting game 2XKO, also known as Project L. Set to make a splash at the Evo fighting game event next month, Vi promises to be a dynamic addition to the game, boasting aggressive combat mechanics and combo potential. The closed beta is scheduled to begin on September 9, and players who previously participated in Alpha Lab tests will automatically transition into the closed beta which will eventually lead to the official launch. Riot's goal is a 2025 release and to feature a total of 10 characters in the launch roster. Vi's popularity has surged following the success of the Netflix series Arcane, which has re-engaged fans with her character from League of Legends. Fans are encouraged to provide feedback on Vi and suggest additional characters they would like to see in 2XKO.

What is the gameplay style of Vi in 2XKO?

Vi is designed as an ultra-aggressive brawler capable of carrying enemies and executing extended combo attacks, making her an ideal rushdown character.

2XKO is set in the League of Legends universe and aims to blend aspects of traditional fighting games with a focus on accessibility for newcomers. Players can expect a vibrant game that prioritizes fast-paced action, strategic team dynamics, and rich lore from the popular franchise.
