Riot Games is reshaping the eSports landscape with 2XKO, merging the strategic gameplay of fighting games with the rich lore of League of Legends (LoL).

This upcoming title promises to introduce LoL champions into intense combat scenarios, offering a fresh competitive experience.

2XKO, previously known as Project L, brings LoL’s iconic characters like Ahri, Darius, and Yasuo into a new fighting game realm. Set in Runeterra, it combines lore-driven content with competitive fighting mechanics, aiming to attract both LoL enthusiasts and fighting game fans.

Champions Stepping into the Ring

2XKO features a roster of beloved LoL champions, each bringing unique abilities to the battlefield:

  • Ahri: The nimble and mystical fox, weaving magic and agility.
  • Darius: The fearsome axeman, delivering devastating blows.
  • Ekko: The time-twisting teenager, manipulating moments to his advantage.
  • Yasuo: The sword-wielding wanderer, cutting through enemies with the wind.

Impacting eSports

By launching on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation with a free-to-play model, 2XKO is set to become accessible to a broad audience. Its unique “2x KO” victory mechanic is designed to spice up competitive play, potentially making it a favorite at eSports tournaments.

Community Engagement and Early Access

Riot is engaging fans early with the 2XKO Social Media Wallpaper Kit and playtest sign-ups, allowing the community to connect with the game before its release. These efforts, coupled with a showcase at EVO Japan 2024, underline Riot’s commitment to community feedback and the game’s competitive potential.

2XKO represents Riot Games’ latest venture into expanding the League of Legends universe into new gaming genres.

With its innovative approach to gameplay and deep integration into the LoL lore, 2XKO is poised to become a notable addition to the eSports world, offering a unique blend of strategy, skill, and storytelling.
