The possibility of adding characters from VALORANT into the upcoming fighting game from Riot Games, 2XKO, has not been ruled out.
Anna Donlon, the Senior Vice President and Executive Producer of VALORANT, gave the answer in response to a question, asking if there are any plans to add characters from VALORANT to 2XKO.

“I wouldn’t rule it out, I think we want to see how 2XKO does, I’m really excited to be bringing that game to players,” said Anna. “I don’t think we have any immediate plans to bring the two worlds together, but I definitely wouldn’t rule it out”
She also mentioned that if that is what the community wants, the team would be very open to adding VALORANT characters in the fighting game and that they have thought about the possibility of merging the two worlds together.
2XKO, the League of Legends fighter previously known as Project L, had only revealed its new name in a recent developer update, the fighting game is slated to release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with a 2025 release being targeted.
The idea of merging the two worlds into 2XKO would be pretty interesting, as both games feature vastly different gameplay that has the potential to expand into a complete moveset, even if having a fighter shoot guns across the screen might be mildly infuriating.
But with the new possibility of both games coming together, fans of Riot Games can at least imagine a world where Jett can duke it out with Ahri in 2D fighting style.
