Vi Enters the Ring: 2XKO's Roster Expands with a Fan Favorite!
Hey everyone! Exciting news for fighting game fans: Vi, the Piltover Enforcer, is officially joining the roster of Riot Games' upcoming 2v2 fighter, 2XKO! I know a lot of you have been waiting for this one, and she looks absolutely brutal.
If you're heading to Evo next month, you'll get a chance to try her out early. How cool is that? For the rest of us, a closed beta is kicking off on September 9th. If you were part of the previous Alpha Lab tests, you're automatically in! Plus, this closed beta will transition directly into the game's full release, which is awesome.
Vi's Gameplay: A Closer Look
So, what can we expect from Vi in 2XKO? From the gameplay trailer, she seems like a total rushdown character. She's all about getting in your face and applying relentless pressure. I'm talking about aggressive combos, screen-carrying moves, and the ability to keep your opponent grounded. If you like playing characters that are constantly on the offensive, Vi might just be your new main.
I was checking her gameplay and I think her playstyle will be interesting. Looks like she can keep enemies juggled for a while.
With Vi's addition, 2XKO now has eight confirmed fighters. Riot is aiming for a 10-character launch roster in 2025, so expect two more reveals between now and the end of the year. The hype is real, guys!
It is expected that 2XKO is released in 2025. Let's see if Riot delivers!
What do you think about the Vi pick? I'm personally stoked. Her inclusion makes perfect sense, especially considering her popularity since Arcane. Plus, her fighting style fits perfectly in a fighting game, don't you think?
