It’s been five long years since Riot Games announced Project L, and this year we finally get a proper look at it when EVO Japan kicks off on April 27th. The game finally has a proper title and will be called 2XKO, and is filled with League of Legends Champions to fight with and against.
Now one of them has received a thorough and absolutely fantastic introduction video filled with gameplay, which reveals that this will be a serious challenger to Street Fighter 6, Mortal Kombat 1 and Tekken 8. The character is Illaoi, the Kraken Preistess, and she is described as follows in the press release:
“As the prophet of Nagakabouros, the great Kraken, Illaoi’s faith demands that she take control of her own destiny by always moving forward. She uses a golden totem to test the will of her opponents and summons tentacles that fight at her side.
In 2XKO, Illaoi is a striking juggernaut who overwhelms enemies with a pressure as unwavering as her faith. She is concerned with landing big hits and doing big damage. She then uses her tentacles to lock down her opponent and launch uncontrolled combos.”
Take a look at the video below of this extremely beautiful free-to-play fighting game, which launches next year for PC, PlayStation and Xbox.
