Riot's 2XKO fighting game hits early access on October 7
Riot's long-awaited fighting game 2XKO, previously called Project L, will be released for PC as an early access title on October 7. That's just two weeks away.
The company dropped a development update video that's filled with nods to the source material. 2XKO is set in the League of Legends universe and features many characters from across the franchise. Players can fight as icons like Jinx, Yasui, Braum and many more. The early access version will feature 10 playable characters, with more coming down the line.
For the uninitiated, this is a 2 vs. 2 tag-based fighting game that's somewhat similar to the Marvel vs. Capcom series. Folks can play solo or recruit friends as tag partners. Riot promises the game will feature a "high level of depth and mastery."
2XKO has already experienced a bit of controversy, as LoL fans have found the game's name somewhat difficult to pronounce. This led Riot to put out a social media post showing the correct pronunciation.
The title will eventually be released for multiple platforms, including PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. The early access build, however, is just for PC players. This is a free-to-play game.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/riots-2xko-fighting-game-hits-early-access-on-october-7-165651941.html?src=rss
