No, this isn’t just a rumor—it’s a reality! Fresh news about 2XKO has just surfaced on social media, transforming this month into an unexpectedly thrilling period for fans. Although it centers on an announcement of a forthcoming development update video, the anticipation builds as we now await a comprehensive briefing on alterations to the game, particularly Jinx, and the forthcoming Alpha Lab test.
The source of this thrilling update? None other than Mr. Ben Forbes, the editor-in-chief at 2XKO, who took to Twitter to share the scoop. “We’ve just wrapped filming the next 2XKO update!” he revealed. “We’re still immersed in editing, production, and localisation, but here’s a glimpse at what’s coming: an in-depth exploration of the gameplay changes since Alpha Lab 1 (including Jinx!), insights on Alpha Lab 2, and a showcase match featuring the dev team.”
Forbes’ tweet went on to detail, “This update is packed with information and delves pretty deep, so expect a lengthy video—around an hour. We’re aiming to release it during the last week of March. We’re still working our way towards live PowerPoint presentations, but someday we’ll get there…”
However, before you get too excited, Ben did clarify that this update won’t include any new character reveals. So maybe hold off on placing those bets.
Reflecting back to last year, the 2XKO team left us on a cliffhanger, promising more details would emerge in February. Plans shifted, though, and instead, game director Shaun Rivera took over Twitter, outlining a few pivotal changes—namely, adjustments in the focus for the next Alpha Labs test and a new fuse for the game.
It appears some internal reshuffling at Riot, alongside revised plans for the Alpha Lab tests, has postponed the anticipated February update to this month. Nevertheless, with the game’s release still on the cards for this year, getting the latest scoop on developments, ongoing projects, and potential public appearances for 2XKO is certainly a win.
