League of Legends Fighting Game 2XKO Delays Large Playtest to Focus on Smaller Test

Riot Games shifts plans for 2XKO to refine infrastructure and introduce new features, aiming for broader access later in 2025.

The planned large-scale global playtest for 2XKO in March has been replaced with a smaller test as Riot Games focuses on development and infrastructure improvements.
Game director Shaun Rivera clarified the change after speculation and misinformation circulated on the 2XKO subreddit.
The game's beginner-friendly Pulse Fuse system has been removed, replaced with a toggleable autocombo option available during character selection.
A new feature, the Sidekick Fuse, allows players to adopt a support role by sidelining one character for assists while boosting the primary character's health.
Despite the delays, Riot Games has reiterated that 2XKO is still targeted for a 2025 release, though no official date has been confirmed.
