Hold onto your controllers! Some intriguing news has surfaced on social media that’s injecting a dose of excitement into this month. Yes, we’re talking about the latest update from 2XKO. Although it centers around a forthcoming development update video, we now have confirmation that a comprehensive overview of impending game modifications, Jinx inclusions, and the next Alpha Lab test are on the horizon.
The bearer of this exciting news? It’s none other than Mr. Ben Forbes, the editor-in-chief for 2XKO, who took to Twitter to spill the beans. He posted, “We just filmed the next 2XKO update! We’re in the midst of editing, producing, and localizing it, but here’s what’s on the docket: A thorough exploration of the gameplay changes since Alpha Lab 1 (including details about Jinx!), some background and information on Alpha Lab 2, and a showmatch featuring the dev team.”
His tweet continues to build anticipation: “The update is quite detailed and extensive, so the video is on the longer side—probably about an hour. We’re aiming to release it in the last week of March. While we’re not ready for a worldwide PowerPoint livestream just yet, one day it’ll happen.”
But temper your expectations a bit; Ben also clarified that there wouldn’t be any new character reveals this time around. So, hold off on making any bets on that front.
Last year, 2XKO left us eager with a “See you next year” message, hinting at new information in February. It was instead the game’s director, Shaun Rivera, who surfaced on Twitter, noting a few alterations. Among the changes were adjustments to the scope of the next Alpha Labs test and the introduction of a new fuse for the game.
It’s evident that the internal timelines at Riot have experienced a bit of a shuffle, which, alongside a reconfiguration of plans for the Alpha Lab tests, has shifted the anticipated February update to this month. Regardless, with the game’s release still slated for this year, this forthcoming update will be a valuable opportunity to catch up on the latest developments, find out what the team is focusing on, and perhaps get a sneak peak of where 2XKO is headed next in the real world.
