2XKO Early Access Is Now Live!

Season 0, New Champions, and the Beginning of Live Service

The wait is over. 2XKO officially opens its early access with Season 0, marking the start of a new era for team-based fighting games. This isn’t just a launch—it’s the first step toward a live service model, where each season brings updates, champions, stages, and key adjustments for the competitive community.

No Resets, No Rollbacks

Starting today, everything you unlock is yours to keep. Champions, cosmetics, titles—nothing will be lost. This change eliminates account resets and locks in your progress as part of 2XKO’s permanent ecosystem. Played the closed beta? You’ll receive the Closed Beta Boss title as a reward (it may take a few days to appear).

What’s New in Season 0

New Champions:

• Teemo, the Swift Scout, arrives with traps, poison, and exploration mechanics.

• Warwick, the Uncontrolled Rage of Zaun, introduces the Bloodlust resource and hunting combos.

• First Steps Missions: Perfect for new players, with rewards like Champion Symbols.

Enhanced Training Mode:

• Over 250 combo trials to sharpen your execution.
• Frame bar for technical analysis and pressure strategies.

New Stages:

• Bandlewood Crossing (available in the shop).

• Firelights Route (premium battle pass reward).

• Replays: You can now save and review your matches, though they’ll only be viewable in the version they were played in.

Ranked Mode and Version 1.0.1.1

Ranked mode begins October 9, alongside version 1.0.1.1. Matchmaking has been adjusted to offer more balanced matches and more accurate ranks. Reaching Aspirant will be more challenging, and queue times will increase to improve competitive quality.

System and Balance Changes

• Aerial actions after blocking: You can now defend better after blocking in the air.
• Adjusted Break: Less advantage without clash relay, and penalties for extended combos.
• Key fixes: Improvements to grabs, projectiles, animations, and recovery after hits.

Fusion Adjustments

• Colossal: Starts with 75% Break, no reset between rounds.
• Dynamic Duo & Sidekick: Increased damage penalty on second super attack.
• Support x2: Cooldown increased to 4 seconds.
• Sidekick: No longer allows multiple Dynamic Duo activations in a single combo.

Updated Tutorials

Tutorials now feature visual upgrades, refreshed UI, and avatar item rewards. The first fight tutorial also grants a Champion Symbol.

What About Console?

Still in development, but your PC progress will carry over once it launches. Minimum specs are optimized for a wide range of systems, so if you’ve got access to a PC—now’s the time to jump in!

Important Notice

Online matches will be unavailable on October 9 from 17:00 to 21:00 (CET) due to maintenance. Use the time to train, review combos, or explore offline content.
