Perspective
2XKO is a 2v2 tag-team fighting game where players select two characters from the League of Legends universe. The game emphasizes strategic team play, allowing players to switch between their Point (primary) and Assist (secondary) characters using a tag system.[3] Players can move their characters using standard directional inputs.
The game includes dashes, jumps, and air dashes to enhance mobility. The control scheme features light, medium, and heavy attacks, with each character having unique normal and special moves that can be executed using specific button combinations.[4] Special moves are performed with a combination of directional inputs and attack buttons. Supers, which are powerful moves that consume meter, can be executed by pressing down twice and a special move button. The tag system allows players to swap between their Point and Assist characters using a handshake tag, enabling dynamic combos and strategic play. Players can call in their Assist for support or switch to them to continue a combo.[5][6]
The game includes various defensive options to enhance gameplay. Players can block incoming attacks by holding back on the directional input. Pushblocking is a mechanic that allows players to push their opponent away, creating space and disrupting their offense.[7] Players can also parry attacks, negating damage and creating opportunities for counterattacks.[8] Each character has different abilities and playstyles; for example, Ahri is known for her mobility and zoning capabilities, Darius is a mid-range fighter with powerful and brutal attacks, and Ekko uses time manipulation for tricky and unpredictable moves. The Fuse system allows players to customize their duos' synergies and playstyles, increasing the strategic depth of the game by enabling players to tailor their team composition to their preferred playstyle.[9][10] The game offers various game modes, including Arcade Mode, where players can fight through a series of AI-controlled opponents, Versus Mode, which allows players to compete against each other locally or online, and Training Mode, providing a space for players to practice their moves and combos.[11][12]

The game will feature ten playable characters at the time of release, with additional characters planned to be added as post-launch content.[13] In addition to the confirmed characters, Katarina was also shown in early footage of the game, but the developers later stated that she would not be part of the launch roster.[13] The following characters have been officially announced for inclusion:
