Overview

• Heartsteel, Riot Games' new virtual boy band modeled after characters from League of Legends, released its debut single, 'Paranoia,' accompanied by a music video that mirrors the art style of Arcane, Netflix's animated series set in the League of Legends universe.
• The band's unique sound is a result of featuring artists from multiple genres, including BAEKHYUN from K-pop group EXO and SuperM, Cal Scruby, an LA-based rapper, ØZI, a singer-songwriter and music producer, and Tobi Lou, a contemporary music artist -- all of whom lend their distinct artistic styles to their respective League of Legends character.
• The music video showcases Heartsteel's characters—Ezreal, Kayn, K’Sante, and Sett—pulling off a heist and heading to a boxing ring.
• While their debut single is said to be catchy yet complex with its differing sound sections, the band is expected to release more music whilst maintaining their varied style.
• Heartsteel's debut performance is set for the upcoming League of Legends World Championship in South Korea, continuing Riot Games' tradition of featuring virtual bands alongside their esports events.
