Jinx joins the 2XKO roster

The 2XKO roster's expansion with Jinx hints at the ambitious goal of bringing League of Legends champions to a new genre and creating diverse playstyles for fighting game fans.

After the reveal of League of Legends'Jinx in its latest trailer, Riot Games' 2v2 fighter 2XKO is gaining more buzz with its audience. Nicknamed "Loose Cannon," this champion has stolen the love of fans, especially from her star turn in Arcane. 

In 2XKO, she wows them with her mastery of attacks at range and zoning, fitting in perfectly as an excellent pick for players who enjoy controlling space and disrupting opponents from a distance. 

This trailer gives a sneak peek of her moves, and she shapes up to be a very exciting addition to the lineup.

Jinx's move list reveals just how chaotic she can get: from her signature fireworks for juggling opponents mid-air to projectiles that anti-air and briefly shock, which immobilizes Gremlin for a quick second. 

True to her nature, her Ultimate unleashes a screen-wide rocket that detonates into an impressively large explosion. This can punish opponents seeking to close the distance against her, reinforcing her nature as a range-based character who does well at keeping foes at arm's length.

Slated for release in 2025 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, 2XKO has already lined up a pretty impressive roster of League of Legends favorites, including Ahri, Ekko, Braum, Yasuo, Darius, and Illaoi. 

It's still unclear what the concrete release date is, though interested testers have started signing up for the playtest next year where they get to try Jinx's abilities for themselves.

While we wait for more information, the roster's expansion with Jinx hints at the ambitious goal of bringing League of Legends champions to a new genre and creating diverse playstyles for fighting game fans.
