2XKO console release date accidentally confirmed via new trailer

Initially announced under the title Project L, Riot Games officially unveiled 2XKO back in early 2024 as their next big spin-off based on the ever popular world of League of Legends. Previously said to be launching on consoles in January 2026, a new trailer was prematurely published confirming the fighting game’s full release date.

As discovered by ResetEra user Neoxon, Riot Games temporarily published a trailer early which confirmed that the recently-released fighter 2XKO will indeed be hitting its January 2026 target for a console release – with the game said to be launching on the 20th.

This means that Season 1 of 2XKO should also arrive on the same day, as the team previously claimed that its console launch will coincide with the game's first Season.

For the uninitiated, 2XKO is a free-to-play 2v2 fighter set in the world of League of Legends. Officially released back in September on PC, the game currently features a total of 11 playable characters, with more coming during the aforementioned Season 1.

Developing a fighting game is no easy task, and so it will be interesting to see what console players think of 2XKO when it arrives in just a couple weeks’ time – especially with Marvel Tokon also on the way.

KitGuru says: Are you looking forward to the console release? Have you tried it on PC yet? Which characters do you hope are added early on in its post-launch life? Let us know down below.
