Riot's fighting game has sent its working name, Project L, to the flames. From the ashes rises its new, far more terrible moniker: 2XKO. Despite what looks to be a very gorgeous, well-made 2v2 fighting game, the naming choice has people perplexed. How the hell do you pronounce that? Too-eks-kay-oh? Too-times-kay-oh? Nobody on the PC Gamer team was quite sure, and my FGC group chat was going into a collective meltdown over the title.
Thankfully, the 2XKO Twitter page is on hand to let everyone know: "it's pronounced how it's spelled". There's even a handy video where executive producer Tom Cannon says the name out loud, in case you were still confused by the whole thing. That hasn't assuaged fans from expressing their dislike for the name though, with some of the replies absolutely going to town on the choice. "Its awful," one tweet candidly put it, while another said, "I will continue to call it Project L like I still call this site Twitter."
