The studio has revealed that the League of Legends spin-off title is now often called 2XKO, and that the sport will launch in 2025 for consoles and PC.

• Darius

• Katarina

The official announcement says that improvement will proceed “alongside the combating recreation neighborhood. This contains, in line with Riot, “extra alternatives for the FGC to playtest the sport in progress, in addition to present invaluable suggestions to the dev workforce.”

Riot has additionally introduced plans to take a look at playable demos of 2XKO “world wide” all through 2024, with Evo Japan in April confirmed as the primary host. The sport’s official web site can also be now accepting signups for at-home playtesting, which Riot is hoping to start “towards the top of the yr.”

2XKO will launch as a free-to-play recreation in 2025 for Xbox Collection X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. The sport is being developed by Radiant Leisure, which was acquired by Riot after growing a separate combating recreation, Rising Thunder, in 2015.
