2XKO Samira and Sett Release Date: Oct 27 Final Update

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.

When Do Samira and Sett Come Out in 2XKO?

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.

Sett Is the Surprise Final Champion

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.

Who Is Samira in 2XKO?

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.

Who Is Sett in 2XKO?

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.

What the Developers Said

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.

Everyone on our team wanted to give you all one last surprise. They not only poured their love and passion into Samira, but also managed to find a way to do the same with Sett as well.

They are both so fun, and we can't wait for you to get your hands on them. Much love. https://t.co/leDNptAF0v

What Is Happening to 2XKO After This?

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:

• October 7, 2025: 2XKO enters early access on PC.
• January 20, 2026: Full launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
• August 2026: Riot announces active development will end.
• October 27, 2026: Samira and Sett release.
• December 2026: Final bug fix patch.

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.

Can I Still Play 2XKO?

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.
