Riot accidentally leaks release date of '2XKO', League of Legends' free fighting game

2XKO, the long-awaited free fighting game from Riot Games set in the League of Legends universe, is reportedly just days away from its official launch. A slip-up by the company exposed the release date.

The title will leave early access behind and will arrive simultaneously on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series, marking a key step in Riot's expansion beyond the MOBA.

The leak that moved the announcement forward

The information emerged after the accidental publication of an official trailer, which was deleted after a few minutes. That video indicated that 2XKO will launch on January 20.

Although Riot hasn't confirmed the date officially yet, everything suggests that the announcement will be made shortly. The game has been available in early access for PC since October.

A fighting game with League of Legends DNA

2XKO is one of Riot's most ambitious projects to expand the LoL franchise into other genres. In this case, it fully commits to competitive combat.

The main system is designed for 2v2 fights, although it also allows players to play with a main fighter and a support partner.

Co-op and constant updates

One of the game's major differentiators is its co-op mode. Two players can share a team, with each one controlling a character in real time.

Riot has already indicated that 2XKO will have a sustained update plan. This will include new characters, stages, and balance adjustments.

A visual style that defines its identity

In terms of aesthetics, the game opts for a strong cel-shading style. The animations aim to replicate a feeling close to 2D animation.

The result is a striking visual presentation that recalls modern benchmarks of the genre and gives it its own identity.
