Riot Games has released a new cinematic trailer for upcoming League of Legends fighting game 2XKO. The trailer features singer Courtney LaPlante of the heavy metal band Spiritbox, and includes several characters from the game along with their abilities. 2XKO will launch on October 7 in Early Access for PC and fully at a later date for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC.
The game’s details:
Early Access
The closed beta ends on October 7, and 2XKO Early Access kicks off the same day. This is when we’re rolling out our very first full-feature version of the game, including a full season of content and a few new features like combo trials.
We’ll be using this time to dial in our Battle Pass and Ranked systems, and to do some balance tuning. Starting in Early Access, there won’t be any more content resets. That means anything you unlock after October 7 is yours to keep.
Seasons
Early Access will also be our very first season: Season 0. 2026 will be made up of five seasons, and each season will come with a new champ, Ranked reset, Battle Pass, and more. That means that our tenth champ will be dropping when Early Access hits live on October 7. Keep an eye out for their gameplay reveal trailer and dev update soon.
Community Tournaments
We’re also working on how Riot will support the 2XKO competitive scene. Our goal is to put the spotlight on community TOs and organizations, so we’ll be sponsoring 22 community-run tournaments through the rest of 2025. We’re calling this the First Impact program.
Each First Impact event will receive a pot bonus from Riot, with an extra prize for winning as a duo. You can read more about it in our announcement article, which also lists all 22 sponsored events.
First Impact kicks off with Evo France. Come check out our booth October 10-12 and run some sets with us.
