 Riot
Games' highly anticipated 2V2 fighting game, 2XKO,
officially enters its early access phase today for PC players, bringing
with it a host of new content, system changes, and two exciting additions
to its roster: Warwick and Teemo. This public launch
followed the recent closed beta period, with Riot promising that all
progress made during early access on PC will carry over to console
versions upon their eventual release. The
closed beta for 2XKO lasted from its start on Sep. 9 - Oct. 7,
2025, when it transitioned to early access. The
developers ran the closed beta for several weeks to test server
infrastructure, tune the matchmaking, and fix bugs before the game enters
its next phase.

Above, Riot Games released a 2XKO cinematic trailer featuring
Courtney LaPlante of Spiritbox. Warwick and Teemo join the early access
roster, bringing the total playable champions to eleven. Early information
on Warwick suggests he'll be a rushdown character with a unique
"Bloodlust" resource that enhances his abilities when full.
Teemo, the Swift Scout, known for his mischievous traps and zoning
capabilities, will also be available, allowing players to utilize his
poisonous mushrooms and darts to control the battlefield.
In addition to the reveal of Warwick, last
week, Riot
Games revealed yet another furry fighting creature for 2XKO, Teemo.
You can watch Teemo's reveal trailer and the accompanying developer update
video (below).

The early access
launch, dubbed "Season 0," introduces a significant update
(Patch 1.01) today, which will be followed by another patch (1.0.1.1) on
Oct. 9 that will mark the beginning of Ranked play. Beyond the new
characters, players can expect a comprehensive overhaul of core gameplay
mechanics, including adjustments to Breaks, meter gain, and Fuses.
Character-specific balance changes are being implemented for existing
champions like Ahri, Blitzcrank, Braum, Darius, Ekko, Illaoi, Jinx, Vi,
and Yasuo, with some changes arriving on Oct. 7 and others on Oct. 9.
New features such as Combo Trials, offering over 250 combos to learn, and
an improved Training Mode with a frame data bar, aim to enhance the player
experience and provide valuable tools for mastering the game.
Additionally, two new stages, Bandlewood Crossing and Firelight Run, will
be available, inspired by the diverse regions of Runeterra.
Riot Games has also outlined plans for a Battle Pass system with free and
premium tracks, various Starter Editions, and upcoming Mega Bundles
throughout Season 0, offering a wide array of cosmetic options for players.
Keep it here on The Fighters Generation for
continued coverage.
