Hey, so Project L now has an official name! Of course we will talk about it so... video!!! We got the trailer itself which I just wanted to add a few tidbits on since I have a unique perspective on it having played the secret illuminati build version of the game before, and also hey we got a vague release window and also beta! I got links for you in the video description for that so check it out!
It looks a lot cleaner than I thought. I have an issue with current fighter games being so cluttered. Reading well what s happening on the screen is super important.
Biggest miss in gaming history for a name. Nothing to do with League / Riot IP, sounds like something Elon would name his kid. Big Oof. At least they've got a year to figure out a better one I guess.
Maybe they have reason to believe it won't help it. If you play LoL, you'll probably be aware of this game. However if you're from the outside and see "League of Legends", it may drive some people away or not even realize it's a fighting game.
I was actually done a first version of the video and about to upload it and THEN they announced all the other stuff in the 2nd half of the video so I had to re-edit everything lol. Anyways name change will take a hot minute to get used to, Illaoi looks sick and yes Peacemaker trailer will get a breakdown too! That will go live probably around supper time. I went right from the dentist to making this video so I need to recuperate now lol(my teeth are fixed!!!).
To be frank, I don't see anyone getting used to that name. People will likely call it Project L or "the LoL fighting game". I think it's because it doesn't invoke much about the game nor about the world of LoL and could be the name for pretty much anything. I mean, even something like LoLVS, while bad and uninspired, at least invoke what the game is.
Happy you were able to get your Teeth taken care of. You don't think about them much until your having problems and it becomes a big problem fast. I have implants and that was quite a ordeal. Thanks for this. Never heard of this Game before. I ran across Stellar Blade today. It looks like a pretty cool game.
I love that the muscle mommy from the RPG is in it. I think Double KO is what they were going for, might be easier to remember. Ahri looks pretty cool too, if I ever play it they may be my team.
I’m going to go with Double KO as the title and 2XKO be the short hand. It makes more sense that way. Riot, feel free to approve the invoice I’m sending you.
Did Jinx just, like, disappear from the game? She wasn't in the previous demo test footage, she's not in the trailer, she's not even on the website. Tf happened?
I’m gonna go the Japanese naming convention route with the x being silent and just pronounce it “Two KO”. Sounds similar to TKO, rolls off the tongue, just better all around. Even “Twice KO” would work. And if this was a Japanese fighting game, either of those would probably be the official pronounciation, and the spelling just be their attempt to be cute and unique lol
Yeah much better for me. Kind of the way everyone just calls Dragon Ball Fighterz either "Fighters" or just "Dragon Ball" at this point. No one wants to go out of their way to pronounce the Z at the end.
I’m going to call it Tookskoh. 2XKO is the most investor/money bags named by committee thing they could’ve called it. They should’ve called it Project 2KO.
As a genZ : you just know some yee yee ass genz marketing person did some so called marketing research and decided that 4alphabets is somehow a good naming idea on paper. I main illaoi in League back when I hate myself and play the game. I’m so glad with how she looks rn in this game. And the fact that she’s on initial roster… crazy
3:18 let the game come out in 2026 so we can get this man some sleep. You can tell he's been playing Tekken8 12 hours a day since launch. I don't blame him.
Man, I still trying to comprehend they've been publically working on this game since 2019. I'm glad we can finally see the finish line - can't wait to play it, and definitely can't wait to see what other champions they'll choose. I love theory crafting move sets for this roster.
The worst part, is that they had a name right in front of them that would've had the exact same meaning as 2XKO, while sounding much better, AND referencing the source material the game is based on: Double Kill.
They want to get this game spot on right off the bat and I respect that! That's the key ingredient to making a good game great.....time! I'm stoked for it the trailer got me hyped so I can imagine what the gameplay would be
This is the dumbest naming decision for a product since Twitter became X. The names "League of Legends" and "LoL" are so famous, why not leverage them and work them into the title in some way, like Dungeon Fighter Online did? Sometimes I really wonder what's going on in the brain of the executives at those companies.
Kinda diggin the name, to be honest. People probably gonna end up calling it 2X or something like that anyway. In any case - super hyped about it. Just one question - when are we gonna see some Vi? She's gonna be on my team 100%.
Is that not how its supposed to be pronounced anyway? Thats how I thought it was, with the X silent like "Hunter x Hunter" or "Spy x Family." I'm confused at why people are pronouncing it two-ex-kay-oh its just unnecessary. It could even be Double KO because is multiplied by 2 (2 x) which would sound good and also its a 2v2.
What a great day. Netflix Atla was a GREAT adaptation (Not perfect but live action cartoon adaptations will NEVER be perfect) Mk1, Project L news, finding out about an Atla fighter, AND FINALLY buying the spiritual successor to godzilla save the earth!!!!😍
No.... We need to Kill this Name fast! On a side note though, Where is Jinx? She was one of the Original Characters to be announced, but she hasn't been seen since.
Excited for this game!! Will cover it 😎 it looks the part for sure, extremely fleshed out characters, nothing generic wt all, love that part along with the visual esthetics
2XKO, huh? It's honestly gonna take me a bit getting used to, but now that you mention it, it might not be too out of place for someone referring to other fighting games by their abbreviations, whether it'd be SF6, T8, MK1, GBVSR, KOF15, GGST, DBFZ, UNI2, etc.
Name is so weird since doesn’t make me think League. But I think they don’t have to worry promotion since League is so widespread. I’m pretty excited for this game, I wonder how it’ll turn out since it’s free and League. Maybe it will be huge with that combo 🤔
Im 100% sure this is how went Manager: Let's choose a name for or figthing game Intern: How about League of Figthers ( LOF ) or Project League Riot M: Is a 2X2 and if you kill your Opponent is a KO so Let's call it 2XKO... Intern: * Pikachu confuse face *

They replaced a place holder name with a name that sounds more place holder than the original place holder it replaced... Quite an impressive feat.
They really cooked the name for YEARS just to land on a keysmash 😭
Biggest miss in gaming history for a name. Nothing to do with League / Riot IP, sounds like something Elon would name his kid. Big Oof. At least they've got a year to figure out a better one I guess.
Someone at the Marketing departement is gonna get fired HOLY SHIT what an ass "name"
sdadgölk is the sequel
@@iAmNothingness I'm not gonna lie... I like it more than 2XKO.
😂😂😂😂😂
I used to call this game Project L because it was the only name I had for it. Now I call it Project L because it is the only good name I have for it
Seriously, Project L has a nice ring to it, 2XK0 sounds awful
I guess it should have bee Double-Cross Knockout?
@@Deliveredmean42 That actually sounds kinda cool
Someone at the Marketing departement is gonna get fired HOLY SHIT what an ass "name"
Nah, it's called "Double KO" for me now, change my mind.
2XKO sounds like an energy drink mix that sponsors RUclipsrs
shit name yea
The worst name change since Twitter became X
Lol
Someone suggested lethal tempo
AGREED
Elon probably came up with the name
2XKo..... 2000 K.O. ?Gez what a quite a random name!
Having a game based on a huge IP like League and not even referencing it in the title is insane.
and not even RIOT games either.
I thought for sure we were gonna get Fighters of Runeterra or something.
Maybe they have reason to believe it won't help it.
If you play LoL, you'll probably be aware of this game. However if you're from the outside and see "League of Legends", it may drive some people away or not even realize it's a fighting game.
@Xfacta12482 The amount of people I know who refuse to watch Arcane because it's related to LoL is too damn many.
@@MrDoctorJudgei hate league and didnt see arcane but i like how this game looks so i aint pressed about the league name missing yeah

It's still Project L to me dammit
You really want your game to be called Project Loser?
@@splinter4161 Wtf hahahaha. Why are you so angry about this?
@@splinter4161 Nah more like project league/project legend
I love that the muscle mommy from the RPG is in it. I think Double KO is what they were going for, might be easier to remember. Ahri looks pretty cool too, if I ever play it they may be my team.
Street fighter 6 logo; I owe you an apology. You aren’t the dumbest looking piece of modern fighting game promo ever shown.
Well, SF6 log have the 6 in roman numbers so not so bad.
The first SF6 logo was bad the one they have now is fine
u mean the old one ?
@@landob3302yes

We are going to hear more variations of this name than we did Dragonball FighterZ

I’m going to go with Double KO as the title and 2XKO be the short hand. It makes more sense that way. Riot, feel free to approve the invoice I’m sending you.
I think they are going for Double KO but they want to use the abbreviation instead to make it "Cooler"? I guess. 😂
I was worried about PL breaking the FGC, but with that name I'm no longer worried.
Jesus Christ that name
Yeah, because that rolls off the tongue
I like it
"twoksko"? The fuck
@@electricant55bro two ECKS kay oh why are you saying twocks
Like a cube shaped wheel...

Did Jinx just, like, disappear from the game? She wasn't in the previous demo test footage, she's not in the trailer, she's not even on the website.
Tf happened?
Yeah, they could’ve put her on the previous demo test footage, and everywhere
This is one those games that should've stuck with its prototype name lol
"Finally has a real name" Bold statement rooflemonger ... bold statement.
Also not that easy to spell since Gamespot already spelled it wrong lmao.
What in the fuck is that name. I'm sticking with project L
Me too
Runeterra rumble was RIGHT THERE.
Runeterrumble...
Runeterra VS
Runeterra Duel
Runeterra Impact
Runeterra Brawl
Rivals of Runeterra
RUNETERRA RUMBLE SOUNDS GREAT!!!!
@@ardidsonriente2223 RuneterraZ
Legends of Runeterra would be a cool name
That name is so awesome, I mean fantastic, it’s soo good I’m not even gonna use it out of respect to its amazing creativity
Haha man this has gotta be the nost "WTF" name announcement since "Nintendo Wii"
and everyone eventually got used to wii in the end. People act like sky is falling on the name but itll be second nature soon enough
@@rooflemonger Yeah I'm not gonna be filing a lawsuit for emotional distress that's for sure 😂 They shoulda called it Lethal League...wait a sec...
@@rooflemongerWii wasn't that bad, Wii U was the catastrophe. Hope it won't be that bad here
@@electricant55 wii absolutely was that bad, even worse. I vividly remember the name announcement and everyone tearing it to shreds

Project L is so much better. They should've kept it as that
I’m gonna go the Japanese naming convention route with the x being silent and just pronounce it “Two KO”.
Sounds similar to TKO, rolls off the tongue, just better all around. Even “Twice KO” would work.
And if this was a Japanese fighting game, either of those would probably be the official pronounciation, and the spelling just be their attempt to be cute and unique lol
Headcanon already lmao
'Two KO' is a way better name.
Or, a bit of a stretch... Doubles KO.
Double KO! more like
Yeah much better for me. Kind of the way everyone just calls Dragon Ball Fighterz either "Fighters" or just "Dragon Ball" at this point. No one wants to go out of their way to pronounce the Z at the end.
2XKO sounds like your local oldies radio station, lol.
I can already hear the fart and siren sound effects
I’m going to call it Tookskoh.
2XKO is the most investor/money bags named by committee thing they could’ve called it. They should’ve called it Project 2KO.
Honestly it may look weird in text form but saying "Double-Cross Knockout" out loud does sound pretty dope
That does sound better but it’s abbreviation should be adjusted.
Now that sounds a lot cleaner.
Pretty good wording pronunciation!!!
Yeah, the name does sound much better if you change it entirely! Who woulda thought?
Most casual people are probably going to think it says "Two Ex K O." Which sounds awful
Project L was a WAY cooler name. They had another one baked in, too: "Legends"
As a genZ : you just know some yee yee ass genz marketing person did some so called marketing research and decided that 4alphabets is somehow a good naming idea on paper.
I main illaoi in League back when I hate myself and play the game. I’m so glad with how she looks rn in this game. And the fact that she’s on initial roster… crazy
This thing has been in development for freaking ever yet I swear we are still seeing the same like 5 characters in every trailer.
3:18 let the game come out in 2026 so we can get this man some sleep. You can tell he's been playing Tekken8 12 hours a day since launch. I don't blame him.
"Lethal tempo" would have been fire
The art style is absolutely beautiful!
In the distant future of 2Xko... Robots and humans...
What a time to be a fighting game enjoyer, this is so sick. SF6, Tekken 8, Project L ... just wow!
Man, I still trying to comprehend they've been publically working on this game since 2019. I'm glad we can finally see the finish line - can't wait to play it, and definitely can't wait to see what other champions they'll choose. I love theory crafting move sets for this roster.
looking forward to 2XrdKO
If they're adamant about the name... I'm reading it as Double KO. Take it or leave it.
Let's just decide to call it 'Double KO'
2xko sounds like a sports game lol
We gotta start socializing "DOUBLE KNOCKOUT"
You have to solve for X to get the real name
The worst part, is that they had a name right in front of them that would've had the exact same meaning as 2XKO, while sounding much better, AND referencing the source material the game is based on:
Double Kill.
I’m pretty sure that’s the reference of what 2xko is supposed to be
Hey roofemonger the mk1 pacemaker trailer is here!!!
I feel like it should have been called LKO (Legend Knock Out) I feel like LKO would’ve been a lot more catchy
They want to get this game spot on right off the bat and I respect that! That's the key ingredient to making a good game great.....time! I'm stoked for it the trailer got me hyped so I can imagine what the gameplay would be
This is the dumbest naming decision for a product since Twitter became X.

Merci Roofroof^^ U rule mon pote!!
If the series is "Arcane", this one could have been "Martial" or "Belligerent".
Think im gonna just go with Two-KO, rolls off the tongue pretty well
I'm just gonna call it Double KO
I cant believe my journalist just dead named the new fighting game on the block
When I saw the name I thought it was Double K.O.
I love the general consensus to call the game Lethal Tempo
Bruh it's so fuckin that the "L" isn't in the official name. We could have had "League of Legends: 2XKO" instead and no one isn't gonna complain.
TWO-KO
Write my fucking check Riot
Man, "Project L" sounds a lot better then whatever this is
Tbh not sure how this game will fit in the grander landscape of fighting games. Especially considering how well designed SF6, T8 and GBVS are.
is tekken 8 still 3?
There hasn't been a new big tag fighter since dbfz so I think it'll fit fine
@@electricant55 what?
We’re all gonna just call it project L and nobody will bat an eye.
As a old League player and a casual fighting game player super excited for 2XKO! hopefully it releases early 2025
MK1 should've been called Project L
Ok, this made me chuckle.
Good one
Kinda diggin the name, to be honest. People probably gonna end up calling it 2X or something like that anyway. In any case - super hyped about it.
Just one question - when are we gonna see some Vi? She's gonna be on my team 100%.
Missed opportunity to call it double-kill

It seams it's already under compyright
Man that Illaoi tentacle grab super looks great.
Grabs popcorn and get ready for the marketing shipwreck with this name.
now the most dangerous word in esports entertainment, 2XKO
Everyone missing how similar it looks to EKKO.
Two Times Knock Out - That's how I see the name.
What a great day.

I like the name. It’s very different from any other fighting game, and I think Riot should do that as latecomers to the genre.
Devs “2XKO”’!!
Community *Laughs in Charlie Murphy
They really just rolled their faces on the keyboard with this one lol
When the working title is better than the release title.
“He can’t keep getting away with this!”
Its weird that they just stopped showing jinx and katerina in this game. I wonder if they were cut 🤔
Idc about names, as long as they aren't overly obscene, gameplay is important.
Name is so weird since doesn’t make me think League. But I think they don’t have to worry promotion since League is so widespread. I’m pretty excited for this game, I wonder how it’ll turn out since it’s free and League. Maybe it will be huge with that combo 🤔
Isn’t the background music for the video from Ekko’s solo game?
Thanks for the video! Really keep me on pulse
Project L is still my name for it
I just hope that this means we're getting a release date sooner than later
"We'll get there as a people" yes
How’d they land on a name with the more syllables than the placeholder? lol
What if its early 2025 since Arcane season 2 drops this November 🤔
Having no mention of League, Runeterra, Noxus, fucking anything in the title is actually insane
This game been in development so long I don’t even wanna play it anymore 😂
Im 100% sure this is how went
Manager: Let's choose a name for or figthing game
Intern: How about League of Figthers ( LOF ) or Project League
Riot M: Is a 2X2 and if you kill your Opponent is a KO so Let's call it 2XKO...
Intern: * Pikachu confuse face *
It's hard to think of ANYTHING with a name this bad. Seriously, what was riot thinking.
If the Riot devs think the 2KXO beta wont get cracked on PC, they clearly dont know how dedicated PC players are to cracking betas.
I’m almost confident that it’s pronounced double KO
When Project L is unironically a better name than they decided on.
Respectfully, we are NOT calling it that lol
