Project L has officially been renamed by Riot Games to 2XKO, marking a significant milestone in the development of the highly anticipated fighting game set in the League of Legends universe. Previously known as Project L, the new name provides the project with a distinct identity and brand moving forward.
2XKO, pronounced as '2 times KO,' aligns with the game's core concept of being a tag team fighting game focused on knocking out opponents. While the name may not be as catchy as other titles from Riot Games, it effectively communicates the game's primary objective.
The announcement of the name change was accompanied by a new gameplay trailer showcasing League of Legends champions in action within the 2XKO universe. The game, which has been in development since Riot's acquisition of Radiant Entertainment in 2016, is set to offer a unique fighting experience that combines elements of traditional fighting games with the iconic champions from League of Legends.
Anticipation for 2XKO is high, with the game scheduled for release in 2025. In the meantime, Riot plans to showcase the game at various fighting game events, including EVO Japan, and conduct limited beta tests later this year to provide players with a hands-on experience.
With the official unveiling of 2XKO, Riot Games has brought clarity to one of its long-standing projects. However, the mystery surrounding Project F, an isometric action RPG teased by Riot in the past, continues to intrigue fans. Speculation persists that Project F may be linked to Riot's rumored MMO project, adding to the anticipation surrounding the company's future releases.
