Developer Riot Games will soon be running the first at-home playtest for its League of Legends fighting game 2XKO, and is warning players to expect "a decent amount of jank" in addition to detailing all the characters, features, and work-in-progress elements players will be able to go hands-on with from August 8-19.

The playtest for the free-to-play fighter, Riot says in a blog post, is a "super early build." As such, not everything will be polished, with Riot saying players will "probably encounter a decent amount of jank" and that some features might not work as intended. Players may also experience crashes and other errors.

Six characters will make up the playtest's roster: Ahri, Braum, Darius, Ekko, Illaoi, and Yasuo. Each will be unlocked from the start, but Riot says future playtests may require players to unlock additional fighters through missions or with credits. There will be four stages to choose from, as well as a battle pass for players to progress through that includes skins for Ahri and Yasua alongside additional rewards like currency, avatar emotes, stickers, and other customization options. Casual and private matches will be available with cross-play enabled for those playing in the same region. A tutorial, as well as a training mode, will also be playable. This playtest will not include an offline or local play option.
