It looks like Riot Games just can’t catch a break with leaks. After Teemo’s early reveal last month, the Brazilian 2XKO Twitter account has now accidentally spoiled the arrival of yet another League of Legends champion, Warwick.

The post, which has since been deleted, went up a little too early and featured a short trailer showing off upcoming skins and playable characters. Fans quickly noticed Warwick front and centre in the video, confirming his addition to the 2XKO roster ahead of schedule.

Warwick joins the 2XKO roster

The leaked clip was captioned (translated from Portuguese):
“New skins for your favourite Champions! Check out the Rotating Shop during Early Access on October 7th.”

While the post was meant to tease new cosmetics, viewers quickly spotted Warwick in the mix, essentially confirming him as the game’s 11th playable character.

Warwick, for those unfamiliar, is a chemically enhanced predator from League of Legends’ lore, stalking the alleys of Zaun. Once human, he was transformed through twisted experiments that filled his veins with volatile chemtech. With his werewolf-like physique and brutal combat style, he’s a perfect fit for a fast-paced tag fighter like 2XKO.

The timing of the leak is curious, though. Teemo was only recently added as the game’s 10th character, and early access isn’t even out yet. But Riot may be rushing to expand 2XKO’s roster in response to feedback that the 10-character lineup is too small for a 2v2 fighter. The studio has already promised at least five new champions in 2026, one per season.

More Arcane favourites coming soon

Warwick’s arrival also gives more weight to recent leaks hinting that Caitlyn is on the way. YouTuber Pantheon’s Bakery discovered unused beta voice lines where Jinx mentions a “cop” and mocks a British accent, clear hints toward Piltover’s top Enforcer.

If true, that means nearly the entire Arcane cast will be playable in 2XKO, including Ekko, Vi, Jinx, and Warwick, with Caitlyn soon to follow. Even the Bridge of Progress, one of Arcane’s most iconic settings, is already a stage in the game.

And Riot is clearly leaning into that connection. The publisher recently confirmed new Arcane-inspired skins for Ekko, Vi, and Jinx.

  • Ekko gets his full Firelight look.
  • Vi appears in her pit-fighter outfit.
  • Jinx dons her Arcane Season 2 finale attire, complete with her Fishbones hood.

These skins will launch in an Ultra Starter Pack bundle when early access begins on October 7, alongside a new cinematic featuring a track from Spiritbox vocalist Courtney LaPlante.

Community reactions

The leak sent fans into a frenzy across social media. Some joked that Riot’s marketing team should just “leak everything at this point,” while others expressed excitement about seeing more Arcane characters come to life in 2XKO.

One fan on X wrote, “Warwick looks insane! If Caitlyn is next, 2XKO’s turning into Arcane: The Fighting Game.”

Another commented, “They might as well drop Heimerdinger next and complete the set.”

With early access just days away, 2XKO is shaping up to be one of the most exciting new fighters of the year, even if Riot can’t seem to stop spoiling its own surprises.
