Riot Confirms 2XKO Will Launch with Only 10 Characters

Riot Games has revealed that the upcoming fighting game 2XKO will launch with only 10 playable characters, a smaller roster compared to traditional fighting games. Game director Shaun Rivera emphasized that the decision was made to expedite the game's release, allowing players to experience it sooner rather than waiting for a larger character lineup. Rivera reassured fans that 2XKO will be a live service title, meaning new characters will be introduced post-launch, maintaining player engagement. This move is in line with the growing trend of early access to get feedback and improve gameplay elements.

2XKO will launch with 10 playable champions, which is a smaller roster than many fighting games typically feature.

2XKO is based on the massive League of Legends universe, which includes over 170 champions. It aims to bring the beloved characters from this popular MOBA into a new fighting format. With early access and ongoing updates planned, Riot Games seeks to build a dynamic experience that adapts to player needs and preferences over time.
