After nine long years, 2XKO is set to launch into early access next week, bringing fresh excitement for the fighting game community. The update will introduce new character Teemo and implement significant adjustments based on player feedback from the closed beta.

Balance adjustments will be made across the board, with notable changes to the Fuse Double Down move, which will see a damage reduction and increased cooldowns for assists. The mechanics around Retreating Guard will also shift, requiring players to hold back instead of using an option select.

Key characters such as Ahri, Blitzcrank, Jinx, and Yasuo will receive specific tweaks aimed at enhancing game balance and consistency. Ahri will lose her ability to spirit rush repeatedly in the air, while Jinx’s Fireworks damage will be toned down. Yasuo’s combo potential will also see adjustments to ensure fair play.

Expect comprehensive patch notes on October 6, detailing more tweaks that aim to elevate your competitive experience. Get ready for a new era of tag-team brawling!
