The 2XKO thread, AKA the Riot fighting game with the really dumb name.

[Jocelot]

I figured with the game's first alpha test called Alpha Lab starting this week, it would be a good time to make an official thread for the game.

 

If you haven't already, you can sign up for the Alpha Lab. Today is the last day to sign up for this specific test, which runs from August 8th to the 19th:

Known since 2019, the untitled fighting game codenamed Project L is now officially named 2XKO.

Brief rundown on controls/system mechanics:

 

 

 

Plus the six confirmed characters we have so far:

 

 

We still don't know the full roster size and the game is set for launch in 2025. As a big fan of League of Legends I am very stoked for this one!

No problem man when I realized I got a referral code I figured I’d give it to somebody here.

[Jocelot]

I appreciate it. Man I never wanted to call in sick more than today, I hate everything right now. 

 

But from what I played the game feels really good! I'm running Illaoi Darius right now with Double Down fuse. If anyone wants to hop on tonight n train up or run matches lemme know. I'm down for w/e

I’m using yasuo/illaio I was using braum illaoi but switched because everybody was using him. 
 

The game is easy to pick up I’m ready for full release and a full roster.  Definitely liking how much freedom in how you play and what “groove/perk” you can choose for your team.
