Spiritbox hints at upcoming collaboration with 2XKO and League of Legends

Canadian heavy metal band Spiritbox hinted at a potential collaboration with the popular League of Legends fighting game, 2XKO. The band, known for their successful second album “Tsunami Sea,” has been making waves in the music industry with recent accomplishments like supporting Linkin Park, appearing on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, and sharing the Coachella stage with Megan Thee Stallion.

The teaser for the collaboration was shared by Spiritbox’s lead singer, Courtney LaPlante, on her Instagram account. The cryptic video features the League of Legends character Ahri alongside a preview of a new Spiritbox track playing in the background. LaPlante’s caption “our two hearts beat” alludes to Ahri’s ability to charm people with her heart-shaped attacks, hinting at a possible connection between the band’s music and the game.

While it’s not confirmed, speculations suggest that the collaboration could be related to the upcoming League of Legends World Championships, where Riot Games often partners with renowned artists to create official anthems for the event. In the past, Riot has worked with big names like Linkin Park, Imagine Dragons, and Lil Nas X for Worlds anthems.

Although the official anthem artists for the 2025 World Championship have already been revealed, the mention of “two hearts” by LaPlante may reference the dual-character system used in 2XKO. Additionally, the official 2XKO account’s response to the teaser post with an eyes emoji fuels the excitement and anticipation surrounding the possible collaboration between Spiritbox and Riot Games.

Riot Games is no stranger to combining gaming with music, having previously collaborated with rock bands like Polyphia for 2XKO and creating an in-game metal band called Pentakill led by Norwegian rock legend Jørn Lande. As 2XKO enters early access, players can expect more exciting updates and collaborations in the future.

The highly-anticipated fighting game will soon be accessible to PC players in early access, with Teemo being introduced as the 10th playable fighter. Teemo, known for his mischievous and frustrating gameplay in League of Legends, is expected to bring a unique dynamic to the 2XKO roster.

Following the early access release, Riot has revealed plans for five seasons in 2026, with a new champion set to be introduced in each season. The future of 2XKO looks promising, with the game poised to become a popular choice for both esports enthusiasts and gaming fans alike. Stay tuned for more updates on the Spiritbox and 2XKO collaboration, as well as other exciting developments in the world of gaming and music.
