The free-to-play League of Legends fighting video game 2XKO has finally entered Closed Beta, which has been a long time coming considering it was initially revealed back in 2019 under the codename Project L. But it's been a long road to now, especially considering 2XKO producer Tom Cannon apparently hoped that people would be "jumping out of their chairs" at its reveal – which seemingly just wasn't the case.
Speaking to Edge Magazine, Cannon says that the response from fans was less jumping and more "interesting I'll keep an eye on it." The initial reveal made what would become 2XKO look like Tekken or Mortal Kombat to many, but with League of Legends characters, which isn't exactly groundbreaking. In the end, the disconnect between the intended response and what actually occurred seems to have made the team go back to the drawing board a bit.
