A closed alpha test for the upcoming game is currently underway, and those who managed to secure themselves a code can now jump in and begin checking out what Riot’s new fighter has to offer.
As an even bigger added treat, it looks as though we’ll be getting our first look at what high level, competitive 2XKO looks like as FlyFighters is holding a special invitational today that is set to feature a slew of top level talent.
