Since launching its early access in October, 2XKO has been turning heads by injecting fresh life into its roster with two brand-new champions.

2XKO is, in what the publisher calls a reinterpretation of the League of Legends universe, bringing familiar faces like Ahri, Yasuo, Jinx, Vi, and Blitzcrank into the fighting game arena. Players can tackle the game solo or team up with a mate for co-op, juggling two champions at once. The inclusion of 'Fuse' and 'Assist' systems adds a strategic layer that goes beyond mere button-mashing.

The arrival of Teemo, in particular, has really dialled up the variety. That cult-favourite champion from the League of Legends lore maintains his signature tricky, ranged playstyle. Along with iconic moves like 'Blinding Dart' and 'Noxious Trap,' we get new flair with 'Parachute Glide' and 'Mushroom Bombardment,' making combat feel decidedly more chaotic.

Teemo’s ultimate moves, 'Toxic Ambush' and 'Bandle Scout Patrol,' are already being hailed for their tactical utility. Then there is Warwick, who brings a distinct rhythm to the fight through his 'Blood Hunt' resource system. By landing hits to build resources, Warwick can chain powerful skills like jump attacks and invulnerable projectile moves, proving his worth as a formidable brawler with solid sustain.

Tom Cannon, Executive Producer of 2XKO, remarked, "Korea is home to some of the world’s most elite fighting game players," adding, "We are doing our absolute best to ensure the game remains accessible for everyone while rewarding those who put in the work."

Meanwhile, Riot Games is running a 'KO Token' event through the 28th. By inviting friends or hitting up a PC bang to play 2XKO, you can rake in tokens. These can be traded for entries to win prizes like gaming PCs, Razer Kitsune controllers, and Secretlab Titan Evo chairs.

If you play at a Riot Premium PC bang, you’ll unlock access to all champions and their chromas, plus every base stage. There is also a 20% boost to Battle Pass XP, which jumps to 50% if you’re playing duo in the PC bang. To sweeten the deal, shop owners are getting a temporary period of premium PC bang benefits without any additional monetization.
