Overview

• 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.
