Riot Games has announced the return of League of Legends’ virtual hip-hop collective True Damage, who will perform the 2026 League of Legends World Championship Anthem, “Know My Name.” This year’s anthem and official Worlds Music Video will celebrate the most iconic pro in LoL Esports history: Faker.

The 2026 Worlds Music Video will premiere at 6 pm PDT October 8 on the League of Legends YouTube channel, alongside the release of “Know My Name” across all major streaming platforms. The track marks the 13th Worlds Anthem and the first time one of Riot’s virtual artists will perform the anthem.

At the center of this year’s video is Faker and his incredible journey to T1’s historic three-peat World Championship victory. Looking back on the triumphs and challenges that have defined his path, the video celebrates the resilience that has shaped Faker’s career, his ability to rise from defeat, evolve through adversity, and continue reaching new heights on the world’s biggest stage.

Soundtracking that story is the long-awaited return of True Damage, Riot’s boundary-pushing virtual hip-hop collective. The group brings together five beloved League of Legends champions as artists, each with their own distinct sound, style, and global influence: Akali (rapper), Ekko (rapper), Qiyana (vocalist, rapper), Senna (vocalist), and Yasuo (DJ, producer).

The artists collaborating on True Damage include:

• Coco Jones (Senna) — GRAMMY-nominated multi-hyphenate singer/songwriter and actress who has captivated audiences with her timeless artistry, emotive voice, and breakout presence in R&B.
• Sofía Reyes (Qiyana) — Multilingual singer, actress, and model whose music blends dance-oriented pop and reggaeton with elements of R&B to create a distinct Latin pop sound.
• SOYEON (Akali) — Rapper and lead producer of multinational five-member group i-dle. In addition to her work with i-dle and as a solo artist, SOYEON has played a defining role in Riot’s virtual groups K/DA and True Damage.
• Vic Mensa (Ekko) — GRAMMY-nominated musician, actor, entrepreneur, and philanthropist from Chicago whose work spans music, film, business, art, and advocacy.

This year, Worlds returns to the United States, with the Play-In Stage beginning October 15 in Los Angeles. The celebration will culminate on November 14 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, where True Damage will take the stage at the Worlds 2026 Final Opening Ceremony Presented by Mastercard, bringing “Know My Name” and the story of another unforgettable chapter in LoL Esports history to life.
