Breaking news in the 2XKO universe has hit social media, and it’s creating quite the buzz this month. While it might just be an announcement about an upcoming development update video, this means we’re on the brink of getting a comprehensive overview of what’s new with the game, Jinx, and what to expect from the next Alpha Lab test.
The man behind this revelation is none other than Ben Forbes, the editor-in-chief for 2XKO. He took to Twitter to share the news, saying, “We just filmed the next 2XKO update! We’re still working through edit, production, localisation, etc., but here’s what you can expect: A deep dive on our gameplay changes since Alpha Lab 1 (including Jinx!), some context and info on Alpha Lab 2, and a showmatch featuring the dev team.”
Forbes continued, emphasizing the depth of the update, “It’s a detailed update that gets pretty indepth, so the video is running pretty long, probably about an hour or so? We’re aiming to release it in the last week of March. We’re not quite ready for the wide world of PowerPoint livestreams yet, but one day…”
Before the hype train leaves the station, it’s important to know that there won’t be any new character reveals this time around. So, it might be best to hold off on any speculative betting.
Last year, the 2XKO team left us with a cliffhanger, teasing new details that were supposed to drop in February. Instead, the game director, Shaun Rivera, took to Twitter to outline a few changes. These include a shift in the scope of the upcoming Alpha Labs test and a new direction for the game.
It appears that timelines have been adjusted somewhat internally, with Riot tweaking its plans for the Alpha Lab tests. This has moved the originally planned February update to this month. Nonetheless, with the game still slated for release this year, it’ll be exciting to get the latest scoop on developments, ongoing projects, and perhaps where 2XKO might appear next in the real world.
Will you be tuning into this update? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
