Blitzcrank joins 2XKO Closed Beta

Blitzcrank joins 2XKO Closed Beta

Riot Games’ 2v2 tag-team fighting game’s roster just got bigger. Along with the release of the closed beta on Tuesday, September 9, League’s Support Champion Blitzcrank will join 2XKO.

Blitzcrank joins the fold

The indestructible automaton from Zaun, Blitzcrank is one of the oldest Champions introduced to League of Legends. Previously designed as a Tank/Support champion, Blitzcrank is currently a bot lane Support mainstay.

Similar to its League version, 2XKO Blitzcrank has the “Rocket Grab” and the iterations of the remaining ability. The Rocket Grab is especially interesting as it will be the first of its kind in 2XKO, adding another layer of mechanics to the game.

With the addition of Blitzcrank, the closed beta of 2XKO will launch with the list of following playable characters:

  • Jinx
  • Braum
  • Ahri
  • Darius
  • Ekko
  • Yasuo
  • Vi
  • Blitzcrank

The latest character will be playable with the closed beta beta kicking off Tuesday, September 9.

For all the updates on the game, make sure to follow the 2XKO X/Twitter, as well as their YouTube channel.

Riot Games Accidentally Reveals Warwick as New 2XKO Fighter
Riot Games has leaked the new fighter for 2XKO.
