2XKO Blitzcrank Gameplay Reveal Trailer

Riot Games has officially announced Blitzcrank as the newest playable character in its upcoming 2v2 fighter, 2XKO. The news came after a brief and accidental leak on the game's official social media channels, sparking widespread discussion among fans. His moveset, showcased in a new gameplay trailer, focuses on controlling space and punishing opponents. His signature move, Rocket Grab, pulls enemies toward him, even through blocks, creating chances for his partner or his own close-range throws. Additional abilities like Power Fist and Static Field enhance his role as a disruptive close-quarters specialist.

Blitzcrank’s inclusion is a notable step in diversifying 2XKO's champion pool, as he is the first fully non-humanoid character announced. His design maintains his League of Legends identity while adapting his abilities for a fighting game framework.

The character will be available for testing when the 2XKO closed beta begins on September 9, 2025, on PC. Players who participated in previous Alpha tests will have automatic access, while others can still register for a chance to participate on the game’s official website.
