Visit us at EVO Japan 2024 to play her in the newest demo.

I don't know what any of these words are, couldn't even hazard a guess which ones may be a title of a game, a sub title, some event/convention name, or character name. Literal nonsensical word salad.

How do you even pronounce her(?) name?

That's my mother's name also so calm down with the insinuations

I read “the Karen priestess” and was very confused for a moment.

"Crackhead Princess" would make a nice platformer if only Nintendo had the guts to do it

Heh, confusing since the game isn't well known yet (especially under its new name.)

2XKO is a new tag-based side-on-view fighting game from Riot and Radiant Entertainment. (Some may recall it from its long-gestation period under the name "Project L".) Fans have been watching for this game because it's a cool-looking and seemingly well-financed fighter, but also because it shares some lore connections to League of Legends, Arcane, and the Legends of Runeterra collectible card game, since it is set in the same Runeterra universe. 2XKO also has an audience because the cofounders of the development studio also established the EVO fighting game tournament

The game is coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series in 2025. Five characters have so far been officially revealed in the game's roster (plus 2 more are already viewable in trailers,) one of them being Illaoi. These characters should already be recognizable, for those who have played other games in the saga, as League of Legends champions.

A playable build of it will be at EVO Japan, a popular fighters game convention being held this week in Tokyo.

Ha, no, it just took me a five-Mississippi count of being similarly confused what the heck "2XKO" was and what all the word salad in the OP meant before it clicked what this game was.

I've been interested in this since Project L, but I keep forgetting about it, and the new name still doesn't register yet. (It's catchy, but short, and doesn't hint at all at its LoL connection.) Maybe once it shows up in some tourneys it'll ring more bells. Anyway, still a year away from release.

Illaoi (ill-ow-ee?) is a League of Legends character. She's fun to play imo. 2XKO is apparently the League of Legends fighting game. Terrible name and art style, imo. EVO is the world's premiere organized fighting game tournament, where multiple fighting games get their own championship brackets.
