Thresh and Senna Join 2XKO Roster Together on June 9, Bringing Two New Stages to the Fighting Game

Thresh and Senna will both join the roster of 2XKO on June 9, 2026, marking a rare double character release for the free-to-play team fighting game set in the League of Legends universe. Riot Games is rolling out not just two new fighters, but also two new stages on the same day, a move that stands out in the fighting game genre.

Thresh’s gameplay was recently showcased in a new trailer, highlighting his signature lantern ability. In 2XKO, the lantern allows Thresh to teleport and summon his tag partner for coordinated attacks, preserving his iconic ghostly design from League of Legends rather than opting for a humanized look. The gameplay also confirms that Thresh can air dash and cancel a blocked pull into a jump, adding layers to his tactical options.

Senna, originally scheduled to release solo on June 9, will now debut alongside Thresh. According to reports, Thresh’s release was moved forward from a planned 2027 launch, making this simultaneous drop even more notable for fans. The lantern mechanic introduces a unique twist: a tag partner can spawn directly into the lantern, enabling a positioned tag-in that could shake up team strategies.

2XKO launched in full on January 20, 2026, and is available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. The game features 2v2 battles and draws heavily from the League of Legends universe, offering a free-to-play experience with a growing roster of champions.
