Founded in 2006, Riot Games, the developer of League of Legends, has grown into a large studio with thousands of people over the past 18 years, running multiple games and developing new products at the same time. Most of Riot's games are highly competitive, with League of Legends and Valorant both having professional leagues, and League of Legends Mobile and Genting Game emphasizing the confrontation between players. LoR's friend system can only play against each other, and you can't even borrow decks and watch battles.
It can be seen that one of the most lacking aspects of Riot's product system is the social system, because most developers are Westerners, and they don't care about sociality as much as Easterners.
But in Riot's next product, the League of Legends fighting game 2XKO, it has a strong social aspect. Although this is a hardcore fighting game, the developers have tried to make 2XKO more social in a variety of ways.
First of all, the game supports cross-platform play, and the game supports multiple platforms such as PC, PS5, and XBOX during the test period, and you can add friends to each other, and currently supports cross-platform battles in the same region. Secondly, the core gameplay of 2XKO is 2v2, but it also supports 2v1 battles, so you can team up with your friends to play the game, whether it is against real players or computer AI.
Like League of Legends, 2XKO offers a variety of in-game accessories, the game itself is free, and they rely on selling skins and passes to make money. Each hero has a variety of colorful skins, as well as different themed skins, players can choose their favorite style to dress up the hero, colorful skins are the color of hair and clothes can be changed. There are emotes and stickers that you can show off during battles to show off your mood.
Some players may say that these features are more common than Riot's social nature. But Riot's announcement on August 8 surprised us that the game had a lot of modern elements! 2XKO is a game with a built-in public lobby, which is a common area similar to a game room-style where you can meet and interact with other players.
The way the game plays against each other is that you sit in front of an arcade machine in the public lobby, looking for an opponent or waiting for other players to challenge you. Of course, you can team up with your friends and enter the public lobby together. If you have a lot of friends, you can also open your own private lobby and invite everyone into the room to play, and the private lobby supports up to 16 players. Players in the lobby can interact with a number of things, including sending emotes and typing chats.
2XKO is a game developed by League of Legends IP, so the core of the game is a fantasy style, and the battle scenes are all various regions of Runeterra, but the developer has set a template for a modern game room. Every game we played, in fact, was an arcade game with 2XKO in the game room, a fun setting that supported the skin team in developing more modern-themed accessories.
Yes, 2XKO is a game that can be customized by players, we can pinch faces and match ourselves!
In 2XKO, we can pick 1 Q style modern character as our own avatar, and we can define gender, clothes, hair, and accessories. There are dozens of colors available in the game, and there are multiple items to choose from for each part, and the color of the clothes can be changed. And that's just a work in progress, Riot Games will be adding more items in the future to make 2XKO an "alliance warmer"!
Maybe in the future game, we will be able to see characters with various themes, including real-life fashion themes and fantasy fairy themes. I have to say that Riot Games actually found a way to make money selling fashion matches in League of Legends, which met the needs of players for DIY characters. Since the game lobby sees the characters, other players can see our outfits, which satisfies the social needs of League of Legends players to show off their aesthetic outfits to others.
I have to say that 2XKO is Riot's most social-focused game so far, giving players a lot of DIY elements. You can customize your character's skin, you can customize your character's avatar, and there's a public channel like the player lobby. Maybe there will be a home system like a personal room in the future.,After all, fighting games are more community-oriented.,Especially 2XKO is a game that focuses on 2v2.,It's more fun to play together as a team than to play alone.,Sara can only say that Riot Games has opened up this wave.。
