Warwick can be played in 2XKO starting Oct. 7.

Riot Games just revealed Warwick as the next 2XKO champion. The reveal was through a new cinematic featuring the “Ties That Bind” song by Courtney LaPlante of Spiritbox.

Warwick confirmed for 2XKO

The new 2XKO cinematic kicks off with Ekko duking it out against Yasuo. Suddenly, Ahri appears and shares some flashbacks with Ekko. The two fight Yasuo for a bit, with the cinematic cleverly showing how Ekko and Ahri tag each other in and out of the battle, before Warwick suddenly jumps into the fray. At the end of the cinematic, Illaoi appears with Blitzcrank to indicate another fight.

The full 2XKO cinematic can be watched on YouTube. It's also embedded below.
