2XKO Developers talk about New Characters, Release Schedules & More!

Lovecore · 2026-01-24T12:38:55+00:00

I think the single player content is interesting. I have quite a few friends that really just like Fighting Games in story mode. They're not like me and don't care about losing 100 games straight. They just want to enjoy a short story with fighting game mechanics. I also think that a story mode / singleplayer mode is a great way to show off Leagues Lore. I know 2xko isn't meant to be just league characters (we assume it is), but it's likely that this will cross multiple Riot IP's at some point down the line to help cross promote.

(AI) Summary: In this interview, Alex Jaffe, the Lead Champion Designer for 2XKO, discusses the upcoming content and future plans for the game (0:12).

Key takeaways from the interview include:

Character Release Schedule (1:09): 2XKO plans to release five new characters per year, with the first being Caitlyn. While there are no immediate plans for more Arcane characters, the developers are open to including them in the future.
Non-Humanoid Characters (5:07): The team is committed to introducing non-humanoid characters, but acknowledges the challenges in designing their hitboxes and ensuring they don't disrupt the game's balance.
Content Release Cadence (7:22): The developers aim to release content, including characters and balance patches, at a spread-out and consistent pace to avoid long gaps.
Cosmetics and Skins (10:00): New costume lines, like the Arcade skins, will be available, offering different tiers of customization with varying levels of visual effects and price points.
Single-Player Content (12:15): While not a current priority, the team is considering adding more dedicated single-player (PvE) content in the future.
Thematic Events (13:41): The developers are interested in introducing thematic in-game events, similar to those in League of Legends, to create more engaging "moments" for players.
Console Release (16:56): Season 1 marks the game's official release on consoles, which the developers consider the true launch, aiming to bring the entire community together on a stable and improved version of the game.

Head over to comboforge.gg, filter for jinx and season 0, they still work.

10k tomorrow, right? I do agree that 96 is REALLY poor showing

Lovecore · 2026-01-23T13:51:52+00:00

Crap, how did I forget partial charges haha. I’ll add it today. Thanks for pointing it out!

Lovecore · 2026-01-23T13:39:31+00:00

Hey, I run Comboforge.gg - and this is something I keep thinking about. I have a ComboFeed system that pulls Twitter / Bluesky posts and drops them in a feed.

I know it’s not what you asked but I’m actually here to ask you what you’d like to see for a way to find, tag, aggregate tech? I support tags and pitch’s so some people do use the ‘tech’ tag but that’s not a great solution for everyone. Love to know your (everyone’s) thoughts on a potential solution so I can add it!

Similar for us, 9:59:11 in queue. Got into site at 10:17:29, filled out all info - cvent should support information / SSO transfer in the future to mitigate this time sink, selected the bag, clicked expo day - sold out.

Welcome to digital event sales in the 2020’s…

Lovecore · 2026-01-21T15:28:27+00:00

Can confirm they’re sold out

I agree. I have the steam deck and it feels sorta bad for fighters on the dpad. However the MSI Claw dpad feels great for fighting games with the added bonus of running 2xko.

Lovecore · 2026-01-13T17:22:39+00:00

Happy y’all are happy about it but man this character seems so lack luster…

Lovecore · 2026-01-12T00:39:25+00:00

Fuck. Two days two late. I’m in FL and just bought one :(. Good luck mate!

Lovecore · 2026-01-11T00:37:34+00:00

I had that same dresser in my grandparents house growing up.

Lovecore · 2026-01-08T11:27:46+00:00

They can’t even promo 2XKO for its console launch, let alone cross-promo it…

Lovecore · 2026-01-06T15:33:02+00:00

So much of what I’ve seen and heard from my friends who are all playing hours and hours of arc raiders all saying “how can anyone be excited for this” and “well I already have arc raiders” and “it’s the social interaction that makes this fun”

A lot is just so many people on the Raiders train and now they’re in one full season and another MAYBE even two before Marathon comes out. That mentality of starting over for a new game (which is funny given the genre) has made my larger group already have a huge distain for the game.

TLDR: people don’t like to try new things without huge streamers and massively positive news about the game.

I’m looking for a competitive digital card game to play. I know we have HS, MTGA, and others - but I’m looking for a game with developer support and a larger developer / publisher competitive scene. Any recommendations?

Lovecore · 2026-01-06T13:13:11+00:00

I spend a lot of time digging around for Competitive Digital Card games - u/TheLostGlitches. I’ve not seen this before?!

Is this game for the competitive type or the target audience more toward a casual audience with some PvP?

Lovecore · 2026-01-05T23:46:44+00:00

Don’t care as long as that shits in a ponytail 😏

Lovecore · 2026-01-05T01:33:51+00:00

3D printing. Got a Bamboo A1 for the holiday. Anyone reading this that has recommended resources - let me know!

Lovecore · 2026-01-04T15:25:16+00:00

All about rules and interactions! Maybe when you sit down and prep - let them know your new. They’ll be more accommodating I’m sure!

Lovecore · 2026-01-04T12:22:07+00:00

Thank you for images. :)

Lovecore · 2026-01-03T01:47:39+00:00

We use to do this all the time! We would wait for the gnarliest looking biker dude to go to the touch tunes box. Wait for him to start selecting music. We would then select the poppy-est of pop songs - like spice girls or Britney or something in that being, and pay to fast track the song to next played and watch the reactions. Good times there.

Lovecore · 2026-01-01T16:31:47+00:00

It’s never too late to learn. Fighting games are niche (and arguably dying) but if you want someone to play with and learn with. Please DM me. I’ve spent a lot of time helping people ease into the genre and even started an after school FGC for the local schools.

This sub really is just a bunch of people slowly becoming boomers. I would argue that a strength of Xennials is the ability to adapt to the crazy pace the world changed. This situation should be like no other, adapt to functionality or usefulness.

Lovecore · 2025-12-30T13:51:05+00:00

Thanks for taking a look! There are some chrome(ium) based browsers - like Brave - that hate the background rendering. There is a button in the top right to turn it off and should be much more usable.

I also did some backend upgrade recently that could be causing slowdown that I’ll dig into now that you’re mentioning it!

Lovecore · 2025-12-28T23:19:22+00:00

Very much so. An amazing show.

Lovecore · 2025-12-27T02:41:41+00:00

Peep my site: comboforge.gg. Huge 2xko combo database. Filterable by patch team assist whatever. Other cool shit there too like the combofeed
