2XKO/Project L – All You Need to Know

Introduction

In this article, we will explore the exciting upcoming game, 2XKO (also known as Project L), set in the League of Legends universe. We will discuss its development history, release date, gameplay mechanics, and what we can expect in the future.

What is 2XKO/Project L?

Project L was first teased back in 2019 by Tom Cannon, a Rioter who joined Riot when the company acquired Radiant Entertainment. It was officially confirmed as an upcoming game during League of Legends’ 10-year anniversary. Originally known as “Project L,” it was described as a fighting game set in the League of Legends universe.

Over the years, we have received occasional updates about Project L. In 2023, a demo of the game was showcased at The Evolution Championship Series, an annual esports event focusing on fighting games. It was during this time that the game was finally given its official name, 2XKO.

2XKO/Project L Release Date

While fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of 2XKO, they will have to wait a bit longer. According to Tom Cannon, the game has entered a new phase of development, and it is still far from complete. The expected release date for 2XKO is set for 2025.

However, there is some good news. Once released, 2XKO will be available across multiple platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S and X, and PC. The developers are aiming for a simultaneous launch on all platforms in 2025.

In the meantime, the team behind 2XKO is embracing a community-first approach in 2024. They are eager to get the community more involved and have plans for at-home playtesting. If you are interested in potentially playtesting the game, you can sign up on the 2XKO website.

2XKO/Project L Gameplay

Based on what we saw at EVO 2023, 2XKO is a tag team fighting game similar to Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. It is a 2D fighting game where players choose two champions, a “Point” and an “Assist.” Players can freely swap between the Point and Assist champions, with one automatically replacing the other when their health is depleted.

What sets 2XKO/Project L apart is its Co-Op aspect. Teams of two players can face off together in the same match, with each player controlling one champion. This allows for both cooperative and competitive gameplay experiences.

The roster of champions confirmed for 2XKO includes popular League of Legends characters like Ahri, Ekko, Darius, Yasuo, Illaoi, and Jinx. Some screenshots and unofficial media also suggest that Katarina, Garen, Lucian, and Vi will be part of the initial roster. Each character has unique passives, abilities, and combos that fit the gameplay style of 2XKO.
