League of Legends' Virtual Band Heartsteel Releases Debut Single "Paranoia" and Music Video

Heartsteel, comprised of League of Legends characters, introduces unique sound with artists from multiple genres, expected to perform debut single at the upcoming League of Legends World Championship.

• 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.
