After a long absence from 2XKO, be it a playable demo or a gameplay trailer, Jinx returns to Riot Game’s upcoming fighting game with a new sneak peek video showing off her gameplay in action.
Jinx, who is obviously getting a lot of attention for Arcane Season 2, stars in a new video posted on 2XKO’s social network that’s just under a minute long. In it, your greatest hopes or deepest fears can come true. Jinx looks to be a nasty area fighter, able to keep opponents in range with powerful special abilities and turn those ranged strikes into lengthy combos.
The trailer you can watch above is the first time Jinx has appeared since the game’s very, very early gameplay footage. The character has been AWOL for a while, with the developers revealing at Evo 2024 that this was due to feedback on her original gear and the rework needed to get her into the best shape possible. But here she is now, and looking fine.
The trailer also shows off some of her super abilities, and as you’d expect, all of them look pretty over-the-top. The game’s UI also appears to be getting some major changes, as seen more clearly in this brief gameplay trailer on Twitter. Things like burst and assist indicators are now clearer than they were in the past – a sign that the team is taking alpha lab feedback to heart. There are even things like Assist for when you’re down, and Targeted Wake Recovery!
What do you think of Jinx? Does she look like the character you had in mind? Let us know below!
