- 2XKO game director Shaun Rivera provided an update on Riot Games' upcoming fighting game, revealing changes to its testing schedule.
- Initially, Riot planned to share details in February and launch a large-scale test in March, but those plans have shifted.
- Instead, the next playtest will be a smaller closed alpha, as the team needs more time to prepare the game's infrastructure for a broader test.
- Due to this change, some speculate that 2XKO’s full release could be delayed to 2026, though Riot still officially lists 2025 as the target launch year for PC and consoles.
