2XKO (PS5, Xbox Series S/X, PC)

[Duos.act]

Not even just shown off, that's genuinely the full launch roster.

Okay yeah no, that's even worse since we're talking about a game that's based on a franchise with hundreds upon hundreds of characters to choose from, not just that, there's also the fact this is a tag fighter with only ten characters. Which is possibly the biggest sin you could commit with a tag fighter, hell, you wanna know how pathetic this is? Vanilla Street Fighter V has more characters then 2XKO. Fucking vanilla Street Fighter V has more characters than 2XKO. Not to mention, the literal demo of Kirby Air Riders, also has more characters than 2XKO.

2XKO is even more disappointing than how Fire Emblem is having problems with it's mobile game spinoff it has.

Interesting that this game's marketing is entirely geared towards AngriestPat lol

The 2XKO Brazil Twitter account accidentally uploaded a trailer that revealed upcoming skins and an upcoming new character, I could only find a Reddit reupload of the video:

LMFAOOOOOOO

The people who helped ship 2XKO poured years of creativity, care, and belief into this game. Taking creative risks like this is hard, and the work they did is real and meaningful."

Official Statement from Riot

What went wrong?

[MR. IBZS II]

Dang, wanted to see Kindred in a fighting game badly. They could have been like Mina Majinka.

[ChaosReaper05]

What went wrong?

My guess: Nothing. The shareholders just saw that the game was gonna make a million dollars per year instead of the billion dollars per year they wanted, so they pulled the plug

[TrinitroRoy]

and we never got playable Draven out of this

complete and utter garbage

[Macaulyn97]

Looks like they have a surprise final character to go with Samira:
