The introduction of Thresh and the confirmation of a June 9 launch date signal that Riot Games is moving into the final marketing phase for 2XKO. By utilizing a free-to-play model and cross-platform availability on PC and current-gen consoles, the developer is attempting to lower the barrier to entry for the traditionally niche fighting game genre.
