Riot has additionally introduced plans to take a look at playable demos of 2XKO “around the globe” all through 2024, with Evo Japan in April confirmed as the primary host. The sport’s official web site can be now accepting signups for at-home playtesting, which Riot is hoping to start “towards the top of the 12 months.”

2XKO will launch as a free-to-play recreation in 2025 for Xbox Sequence 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.
