Shaun Rivera, the director of 2XKO, has revealed that the next playable characters in development for the game are Akali and Senna. Additionally, he shared a post sharing the plans for the game’s future.
In the post, he states that duo play, core gameplay, and community/competitive programs are a main focus for the game going forward. He also confirms that updates to the ranked system, fixes for screen tearing, and adjustments to Yasuo and Ekko are in development. The post ends with details about both Akali and Senna, which are as follows:
“Akali is 2XKO’s next champion. She’s a sharp, stylish ninja who cuts opponents down with deadly precision.
Meet Senna, who wields the power of light and shadow. Blasts enemies with a massive cannon, then rush them down in her wraith form. We’ll have more to share about these two later, but in the meantime, we’re looking forward to your hot takes and theorycrafting.”

Recently, Riot Games laid off roughly 80 employees from the 2XKO team, with half being from the game’s global development team. Riot Games is offering opportunities within the company to those affected by the layoffs or letting them go entirely with six months of severance pay. Going forward, the smaller 2XKO team will be continuing operations at a limited scale, focusing on “key improvements” to the game.
Lastly, 2XKO initially entered early access on October 7, 2025 for PC (client download), followed by the full launch on January 20 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
