The competitive fires are burning bright in the world of 2XKO. Two major tournaments are on the horizon—First Attack in Puerto Rico and Evo France in Nice—and they promise to showcase the best players battling it out with the latest patch changes. With Lux now firmly in the hands of competitors for a few weeks, fans can expect to see some innovative tech from the Lady of Luminosity. But before we dive into the action, there's important news about the future of 2XKO communications and the game's final content patch.

First Attack (Puerto Rico): October 2–4

First Attack PR kicks off tomorrow, marking Puerto Rico's biggest gaming and esports event. This three-day celebration of competitive gaming, community, and culture takes place at the Puerto Rico Convention Center. 2XKO is a main event game this year, and there's plenty to see beyond the tournament. Attendees can check out Puerto Rico's vibrant cosplay scene, browse Artist Alley for cool merchandise, and even play some Riftbound on the show floor. For those who love spinning tops, there's a Beyblade side event—so let it rip!

The 2XKO tournament itself starts on Saturday, October 3. All stream details will be shared on First Attack's social channels, so keep an eye out.

Evo France (Nice, France): October 9–11

Next week, Evo heads to Nice, bringing 2XKO's competitive year full circle. The game's first major impact was felt at Evo France 2025, and one year later, Europe's best will defend their home turf against international competition once again. This Major event will be a massive test for France's elite players—Wawa, Noka, Yasha, Kayne, and Wade in particular—as North American and Japanese entrants are sure to give it their all.

2XKO kicks off Round 1 at 2pm CEST on Friday, October 9. Catch the Top 8 at 6pm CEST on Saturday, October 10. For stream information, follow Evo France's socials.

Upcoming Dates and the Future of 2XKO

The 2XKO team has shared a roadmap for the coming months, including the release of Samira in patch 1.3.3, a minor balance patch, and the end of most communications on November 6. Here's what's on the horizon:

  • October 3-4: First Attack (2XKO Challenger event)
  • October 9-11: Evo France (2XKO Major event)
  • (Targeting) October 27: Patch 1.3.3 live (with Samira)
  • November 6: 2XKO communications end
  • (Targeting) November 12: 1.3.3b minor balance and bugfix patch
  • November 21-22: Battle Coliseum (2XKO Major event)
  • November 27-29: MINDSET 2026 (2XKO Challenger event)
  • (Optional) Early December: Patch 1.3.5 (bug fixes only)

The dev team is moving on from 2XKO as work on patch 1.3.3 wraps up. They want to leave the game in a good place with the community and are planning a sendoff dev stream in early November. If you're running any local events, community gatherings, or streams around that time, let them know—they'd love to drop by and see what you're up to.

With Samira's release on track for late October and a bumper crop of skins coming to the Ultimate Bundle, there's still plenty to look forward to. The team will continue to provide patch notes even after social channels go quiet, and they've penciled in a minor balance patch for mid-November to address any unintended interactions after Samira's debut. Nothing is set in stone yet, but they'll keep players informed if plans change.
