2XKO Expands Its Roster With Lux and Samira Before the End of 2026

Riot Games has officially confirmed two more playable champions for 2XKO, announcing that Lux and Samira will join the free-to-play fighting game before the end of 2026. The reveal took place during EVO 2026, where Riot showcased the new fighters in a cinematic teaser and outlined its upcoming content roadmap for the remainder of the year.

Lux, one of the original champions from League of Legends, brings powerful light-based magic into the arena. Her attacks focus on long-range projectiles, zoning, and area control, making her an ideal choice for players who prefer keeping opponents at a distance. Meanwhile, Samira introduces a much more aggressive fighting style, combining rapid sword strikes, acrobatic gunplay, and stylish combo chains inspired by her fast-paced gameplay in League of Legends. Riot says both characters have been redesigned to fit 2XKO's tag-team combat system while staying true to their original identities.

Although Riot has not revealed exact release dates, the studio confirmed that both champions will arrive before the end of the year as part of the game's ongoing seasonal updates. Additional gameplay footage and detailed character breakdowns are expected in the coming months, giving players a closer look at each fighter's unique mechanics, abilities, and team synergies. The announcement follows Riot's continued commitment to expanding the roster with regular post-launch content.

Since its release, 2XKO has steadily grown into one of the most popular modern fighting games, blending the League of Legends universe with fast-paced 2v2 tag battles and accessible competitive gameplay. The addition of Lux and Samira further broadens the roster while giving fans two highly requested champions to master. With more fighters already planned beyond 2026, Riot continues to strengthen long-term support for its ambitious fighting game and keep the community engaged with fresh content.
