2XKO is Riot Games’ foray into the fighting game community, a project that has been in the works for some time. Since its early access began, it is clear that Riot has made a mechanically sound, smooth, and stylish fighting game, and that has only improved since the 2XKO release date.
As far as the fighting game community is concerned, Riot Games has a gem on its hands, something with the mechanical basis to sustain an esports presence and longevity. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been the success that Riot had hoped for, and has led to a brutal decision.
