The director of 2XKO, the upcoming tag-team fighting game starring League of Legends heroes, wants the free-to-play title to be able to stand tall with genre giants like Street Fighter. That's a lofty goal, of course, but director Shaun Rivera is also aware that 2XKO will need more than League of Legend's brand recognition to "earn that spot."
Speaking to Edge Magazine's 215 issue, Rivera hoped that 2XKO could rub shoulders with Street Fighter and other EVO mainstays by the time the annual fighting game esports event rolls around next summer. He knows it's not an easy ask, though.
