Riot Games has unintentionally revealed the next champion for 2XKO after a leak on their customer support site. Fans discovered a render of Blitzcrank, confirming him as the ninth champion in the game, set to join the closed beta.

While the full details will be unveiled on September 2, 2025, excitement is already building around Blitzcrank’s unique abilities. Known for his robust tanking prowess in League of Legends, Blitzcrank wields the iconic “Rocket Grab” to pull enemies closer, similar to Pudge’s “Meat Hook” in DotA. This method of gameplay suggests he will thrive on grappling opponents, absorbing damage while incapacitating targets.

Significantly, Blitzcrank marks the first non-humanoid character added to the roster, which has been predominantly comprised of humanoid fighters. The closed beta is set to kick off on September 9, 2025, promising players an exhilarating chance to experience Blitzcrank’s combat style firsthand.
