Polyphia have released the official theme song for Riot Games’ 2XKO, ‘Let’s Go’, as the fighting game’s Closed Beta kicks off.
Polyphia have unveiled their new track ‘Let’s Go,’ written as the official theme song for Riot Games’ upcoming two-on-two fighting game 2XKO which features League of Legends champions.
The four-minute track was composed and performed by all four members of Polyphia – Tim Henson, Scott LePage, Clay Gober, and Clay Aeschliman – with RJ Pasin handling production and Jesse Zuretti contributing to the composition.
As expected from Polyphia, the song blends funk, technical guitar work, and high energy, matching the fast-paced tone of the game it was made for – all wrapped up in what sounds like a chiptune-inspired bow.
Check out the new song below:
Zuretti shared a statement on the collaboration, describing how important the process was for both music and gaming culture. “As someone deeply rooted in the metal and guitar world for over 23 years (and now game audio and dev), it’s so inspiring to hear each member of Polyphia’s unique musical voice with the storytelling and energy that fighting games demand,” he said.
“Composing this theme was about more than just writing music, it was about creating a sound that resonates with 2XKO players, that captures the soul of the FGC’s incredible history of music and games, and feels authentically tied to the characters and world of Runeterra and beyond.”
The timing of the track’s release lines up with the start of 2XKO’s global closed beta, which went live today, September 9, for PC players. The game, which features League of Legends champions in a two-versus-two team-based format, has been one of Riot’s most anticipated projects outside its flagship MOBA.
For Polyphia, ‘Let’s Go’ adds to their growing list of crossover collaborations, continuing their reputation for pairing complex musicianship with pop culture touchpoints.
