Riot’s League of Legends fighting game, 2XKO, won’t receive a big March playtest as originally planned. Instead, it will receive a “much smaller one” while the team looks to “build out the infrastructure” for a much larger test “later this year.”
The news comes from 2XKO game director Shaun Rivera on X, whose response came after leaks regarding the cancelation of the March playtest and new features began circulating on the 2XKO subreddit, prompting the team to “clear up some misinformation.”
Although a big playtest similar to the 2XKO Alpha Lab 1 playtest now won’t be coming until later this year, the update isn’t all bad news. Rivera also officially revealed some new features coming to 2XKO. One major change will see the game’s Pulse Fuse (which enables beginner-friendly autocombos) removed. However, autocombo functionality will instead be added as a toggleable option in the game’s settings.
