One of the most highly anticipated fighting game releases outside of the big three, 2XKO will allow players to take control of their favorite League of Legends champions in 2v2 battles where team synergy and mastery are the keys to success.
But given how League‘s roster is composed of more than 160+ playable characters, it’s a given that the large majority of them won’t be featured in the spinoff. So that you can see if any of your favorites made the cut, here are all of the champions and skins confirmed to be present in 2XKO.
All 2XKO confirmed champions and skins
The 2XKO roster is currently composed of Ahri, Yasuo, Darius, Ekko, Illaoi, and Braum, with the Hero of Freljord being its latest addition. It’s also worth mentioning that Jinx is all but confirmed to join the above, as glimpses of her early gameplay can be seen in a few Riot Games videos focused on the title. You can check out more on each of the confirmed characters below, which includes a look at all of their skins.
Ahri
One of the first champions ot join the 2XKO roster and an absolute fan favorite, Ahri is a rush-down character who excels at applying pressure from both close and mid-range. She also has in her projectiles the right tools to keep opponents in check and open them up for highly damaging mixups on both the ground and the air.
All 2XKO Ahri skins
The only announced skin for the nine-tailed fox in 2XKO is Dynasty Ahri. Like in the original game and as you can see below, apart from her overall look, the skin also changes the color of both her Foxfire orbs and effects to bright pink. Like with each champion’s default look, all skins in 2XKO also have color variants.
Yasuo
Equally beloved and hated by the game’s community, Yasuo is a character who excels at neutral given his ability to deflect projectiles by performing Wind Wall and the range of his normals/specials. His biggest tool, however, lies in his Calm stance, which enables long-range attacks and can be canceled from any of his specials for extended combos and highly damaging mix-ups.
All 2XKO Yasuo skins
Bladesong Yasuo is the only Yasuo skin revealed for 2XKO. Featuring a look that led to many Varus comparisons upon its reveal, the skin was —like Dynasty Ahri— made available for the first time during the game’s August 2024 Alpha Lab test. No skins apart from Dynasty Ahri and Bladesong Yasuo were revealed at the time of writing.
Darius
Featured as part of the game’s roster since the world first learned about what would become 2XKO, Darius is a mid-range heavy hitter capable of keeping opponents locked in place through both range and might. That is further amplified by his ability to apply the Wound effect to targets, which boosts your duo’s block (or chip) damage against them. But be careful, as the effect will end and need to be reapplied after any member of your team takes damage.
Ekko
A mix-up machine and one of the game’s most technical but rewarding characters, Ekko excels through his ability to perform unthinkable reversals and cross-ups by activating his Z-Drive, which allows him to place afterimages in the field and then rewind to their position at will. As we can expect of a prodigy, he also has in his Attempt #37 Ultimate a great tool, as it can be performed as a counter to either escape tricky situations or finish a match with style.
Illaoi
Even if having in her high-damaging normals and more straightforward specials a great source of damage, Illaoi has in her ability to spam tentacles in the field her biggest differential, as they can either automatically attack opponents or perform follow-ups. That allows the Truth Bearer of Nagakabouros to excel at controlling the tide of battle, all while also being capable of performing extended combos. Just keep in mind that the tentacles can be easily destroyed by a single hit.
Braum
A heavy-hitter capable of freezing opponents on the spot, Braun is a character that mixes utility with a solid defense, the latter a fruit of his ability to shield himself and his ally by performing Stand Behind Me. He can also acquire Unbreakable by performing certain moves, which will provide armor. Unbreakable can also be spent to power up many of his specials, such as The Heart of the Freljord, as well as his assists.
When will 2XKO be released?
2XKO is set to be released in 2025 for both PC and current-gen consoles —PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. As you wait for the game to be released, don’t forget to also check out our League of Legends Swarm Tier List.
