The next character in Riot Games’ upcoming 2v2 fighting game – 2XKO – has been leaked on the official Riot Games support website. We’re going to say who they are in following paragraphs, heads up.
Art for the Blitzcrank was spotted by keen-eyed fans early this morning for the 2XKO, front and centre as both the the star of the banner at the top of the dedicated 2XKO page, as well as the character used on the 2XKO widget when browsing the wider Riot Games support website.
As of writing the art is still live on the support website. Blitzcrank would be the ninth character to come to 2XKO, though no word on when he’ll be implemented has been announced, officially or otherwise.
2XKO is set to launch into closed beta on 9th September, marking the end of a lengthy development journey. In recent months, online sentiment around the game has been tinged somewhat due to a demand for a wider variety of weirder characters. Blitzcrank, a big goofy robot, certainly fits the freakier category.
There’s a hint of irony here, given one of League of Legends’ most legendary support champions being revealed early via the support website. As for when we’ll see Blitzcrank revealed properly? Well, one would hope that with official Riot Games websites locked and loaded with official assets, it could be around the corner, but that’s entirely speculation. Who knows, maybe he’ll be a surprise addition to the closed beta?
What do you think of Blitzcrank? Let us know.
