The big Star Guardian-themed summer event has kicked off in League of Legends, and Riot Games has gone big. A celebration that includes the launch of Nilah as a new champion, gives us access to different quests and led the developer to make a long-awaited release. Sure, we know the studio for its video games, but each of its musical forays is more famous than the last, and it returns today with a single that promises to become the anthem of the event.
Riot’s new song to celebrate the Star Guardians
Riot Games went with a much more relaxed style for their animation-themed event. The developer decided to collaborate with the famous musician Porter Robinson, who is also a specialist in creating this type of song and has worked on several animated shorts for Crunchyroll. On this occasion, he and the developers opted for a melancholy and slower pace than expected in order to put us in the same situation as the characters. Thus, in the music video, we can see Xayah’s suffering due to her involuntary separation from Rakan or the arrival of Kai’Sa in this universe.
Riot Games’ commitment to music is well known in the community. The developers have experience in creating fictional musical groups like KD/A or True Damage, the recruitment of the best musicians to create the songs of the Worlds or the management of the soundtrack of Arcane. In short, although Riot Games specializes in video games, the studio wants to be present in as many sectors as possible. Music, series or the first Riot Forge projects are just some of the first efforts we see from the studio in this regard.
