Caitlyn, the Sheriff of Piltover from Riot Games’ 2XKO—a versus action game set in the League of Legends shared universe—will be joining the roster.
On the 14th, Riot announced Caitlyn as Season 1’s new champion for 2XKO, which is currently in early access, and released a trailer alongside the reveal. Wielding her signature oversized sniper rifle directly on the battlefield, Caitlyn showcases a wide range of shooting techniques. Her kit stands out with gunplay that can reach from one edge of the screen to the other, as well as varied firearm applications such as aerial shots, crouching anti-air fire, and other situational uses.
Like other champions who have brought a variety of their League of Legends abilities into 2XKO, Caitlyn also uses Yordle Snap Trap. This ability is used to restrict enemy movement while also dealing damage. In addition, footage confirms that—fitted to the rhythms of a competitive fighting game—she can swing her firearm at close range and perform a range of brawling actions, including kicks and other melee combat moves.

Meanwhile, 2XKO has already seen ranged champions join the lineup, including Jinx, an AD carry-role champion, and Teemo, who specializes in getting under opponents’ skin. With Caitlyn bringing numerous shooting skills to the table, it appears the game will also work to maintain a balanced matchup between firearm-heavy characters and close-range fighters.
2XKO is a 2D versus action game Riot began developing after acquiring Radiant Entertainment. While its combat plays out in 2D, the character presentation itself is rendered in a stylized, comic-inspired 3D look, and the game centers on 2v2 tag battles. It began early access service last October.
