What is the 2XKO Launch Roster for the Closed Beta in September?

It's official: Riot Games is launching its highly anticipated fighting title, 2XKO. Announced during the 10th-year-anniversary stream (yeah, FIVE YEARS AGO) and promised to launch later in 2025, the development cycle has been a bit of a rough one.

Yet, after seemingly having lost all hope, the game is launching on a Closed Beta that will, accordingly, remain available until it goes live into public beta, and then later into its launch. With one new character announced, we now know of a roster consisting of eight playable champions that you'll be able to take into the 2D fighting arena.

Here are all the characters we know about so far:

• Ahri
• Braum
• Darius
• Ekko
• Illaoi
• Jinx
• Vi
• Yasuo

We're hoping that from here to the September launch of the Closed Beta, we'll hear about a ninth new character. But for now, this is all that we know that'll be available when the game launches.
