2XKO game director speaks out about the next "much smaller" online play test, a new fuse, and more ahead of February update

Shaun Rivera, the game director of 2XKO, recently addressed rumors regarding the game's online play test via a statement on Reddit and X. He announced that the upcoming play test will be "much smaller" than the first Alpha Lab test as the team is still working on building infrastructure for more players. Key gameplay changes include the replacement of the Pulse Fuse with a new Sidekick feature, enhancing the single player's capabilities and changing the support role, akin to mechanics in other games. The February update's release date remains unconfirmed, creating speculation among fans.

Rivera revealed the new 'Sidekick' fuse, significantly changing gameplay dynamics by allowing less character switching and enhancing the support role of the second player.

The next play test will be 'much smaller' than the last, as the team prepares for future larger tests later in the year.
