Hold onto your controllers! We’ve just gotten a jolt of excitement on social media thanks to some fresh news about 2XKO. It’s not just any update—it’s a teaser for an upcoming development update video. Soon, we can look forward to a comprehensive breakdown of changes in the game, insiders’ scoop on Jinx, and what’s next for the Alpha Lab test.
The bearer of this thrilling announcement? None other than Ben Forbes, the mastermind behind 2XKO content. He took to Twitter to spill the beans: “We just wrapped up filming for the next 2XKO update! Still working on editing, production, and localization, but here’s what’s in store: A deep dive into our gameplay changes since Alpha Lab 1, featuring Jinx. Plus, insights and info on Alpha Lab 2 and a dev team showdown.”
Hidden in the tweet was another nugget: “This update is packed and runs long—probably around an hour. We’re aiming to release it in the last week of March. We’re not quite ready for the full-blown PowerPoint livestreams yet, though that’s on the horizon.”
Manage your expectations, though. Ben made it clear that this update won’t include any new character reveals, so don’t start making any wild bets just yet.
Rewind to last year, when the 2XKO team left us hanging with a “See you next year” expectation for new details by February. Instead, game director Shaun Rivera tweeted about some shifts—like an adjusted scope for the next Alpha Labs test and a fresh twist for the game.
Internally, Riot seems to have reshuffled the timeline, bumping the February update to this month. With the game set to launch later this year, getting a fresh batch of info is a big deal. It’s all about understanding what’s underway, what’s getting tweaked, and what’s next on the 2XKO journey.
