Riot Games has one last surprise for 2XKO fans. Samira and Sett have just arrived on October 27, 2026, and they are the final champions in the game.
Samira was already on the roadmap, but Sett is the surprise twist. Riot revealed him in a new gameplay trailer on October 7. Here’s everything shown so far.
2XKO will soon launch its last update ever. This patch brings two new Champions to the title: Samira and Sett. The duo are iconic selections from the League of Legends Rift, and the two fan-favorites will close 2XKO’s active development era.
Both fighters release on October 27, 2026 as part of Patch 1.3.3. The timing comes from the official gameplay reveal. Riot confirmed the date but did not give an exact worldwide unlock time in the reveal, so check the in-game news on launch day.
Samira had been the only champion left on the 2XKO roadmap when Riot said in August that active development would end in December 2026. The team had also showed Samira next to Lux at EVO 2026. Then, the update trailer dropped, and Sett appeared next to her.
The reaction online was warm. Many fans said Sett fits the roster well. Some felt he should have been in the game from the start. After all, Sett has been a martial artist since League launched, rising through the ranks of underground fighting rings.
Plus, Sett is a member of HEARTSTEEL. The group’s recent comeback has renewed interest in its members, so it makes sense that Riot would bring him into other League-related titles.
Samira is known as the Desert Rose. She mixes sword and pistol attacks, which gives her both close and ranged options.
She was first revealed about three months ago, but the new trailer shows more of her style. Her ultimate, Inferno Trigger, is flashy and dramatic.
Riot has not shown her full move list yet. Expect more details closer to launch.
Sett is a rough-and-tumble crime boss from Ionia. In League of Legends, he is a brawler who runs the region’s fighting pits. That background suits a fighting game.
His League kit includes blocking ranged attacks and throw combos, which could carry over well. Sett’s full 2XKO moveset has not been revealed, but his in-game trailer appearance features a flurry of punches. His style is energetic, with powerful kicks and bodyslams.
2XKO developer Shaun Rivera shared a message on X, writing that “everyone on our team wanted to give you all one last surprise.” He praised the team for their effort on Samira and for finding a way to do the same for Sett. Rivera ended by saying the team is excited for players to try them both out.
This update sits inside a bigger story, which stays in the back of 2XKO fans’ minds. Riot announced in August that it would end the game’s active development for good. The plan is to deliver a final bug fix patch in December 2026.
Here’s a quick timeline refresher of 2XKO’s lifespan:
Riot has not announced any change to that December plan, even with Sett’s reveal. It seems like the game really is shutting down for good. Riot Games co-founder Marc Merrill stated in a recent Lemonade Stand interview that the project was ‘too expensive’ to continue and did not have enough player engagement.
If you’ve downloaded 2XKO, you can still play it. However, the game is ending active updates and its servers won’t have maintenance.
After the game shutters, developers will unlock all champions for players. The team has also bundled most cosmetic items. Riot refunded all money spent in 2XKO on or before August 20, 2026.
So, to recap:
They release on October 27, 2026.
PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
Yes. Riot newly announced him in the October 7 reveal. Samira had been announced earlier.
Yes. Riot says they complete the roster.
Riot plans a final bug fix patch in December 2026. There will be no more Champions or updates afterward.
Riot says active development ends in December 2026.
Samira and Sett will be free for 2XKO players.
Ultimately, this is a bittersweet moment. The 2XKO roster is complete, ending several years of teasers, content leaks, and reveals. However, there’s still more to look forward to: the studio recently revealed that a new Riot MMO, nicknamed ‘The Grail,’ is in active production.
Plans can change, so follow official Riot channels for updates.

Riot made League of Legends replays private in Patch 26.20. Now, the changes are being delayed after the community spoke out.

Patch 26.20 quietly ends an era for League’s third-party ecosystem. Replays are now private, game memory access is restricted, and Riot says cheat developers are the reason.

After big rule changes two months ago, Riot Games announced it has banned nearly 300,000 players for boosting in League and VALORANT.
