Riot Games has announced that Akali, the next character coming to 2XKO, will be available on April 7. She’ll be available alongside patch 1.1.5.
Previously, Riot Games announced that the next two characters releasing for the game are Akali and Senna. In a post, Shaun Rivera, the director of 2XKO, further described the characters: “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.”
Check out the post announcing that 2XKO will release Akali and patch 1.1.5 on April 7 below:
Earlier this year, 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.
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. Lastly, the PlayStation Store page describes the game as follows:
In 2XKO, good teamwork makes the difference between victory and defeat. Fight solo to control both champions on your team, or grab a friend to duo with. Switch up your game every match with Fuses, powerful playstyle modifiers that change the rules your team plays by.
