Riot Games’ virtual hip-hop group True Damage has returned with Know My Name, the Worlds 2026 anthem. The group is scheduled to perform at the World Championship final opening ceremony at New York’s Barclays Center on 14 November.
An October release and a November live performance
Know My Name is Riot Games’ official anthem for the 2026 League of Legends World Championship. Released on 9 October in Turkish time, it is not a forthcoming music launch as of 2 November. The upcoming event is the live performance at the final opening ceremony presented by Mastercard on 14 November.
The return follows True Damage’s 2019 debut with GIANTS. Riot connects the new track with competition, ambition and the journey to the main stage. This year, one of the company’s own virtual artist groups performs the Worlds anthem.
Four artists and their game characters
SOYEON of i-dle voices Akali, Coco Jones voices Senna, Vic Mensa voices Ekko and Sofía Reyes voices Qiyana. Yasuo, the fifth member within the game universe, is the group’s DJ and producer. Different musical backgrounds consequently meet through League of Legends characters.
Riot Games’ music leader Maria Egan connects the group’s blend of cultures and voices with New York. Participating artists describe opportunities for storytelling and reaching new listeners through the game universe. The accompanying images are artist portraits supplied for the collaboration.
Music and esports share the stage
Worlds brings professional teams from different regions together for the season’s leading title. Its opening ceremony adds music and stage production to the competition. True Damage’s 14 November performance has been announced as part of that programme.
Riot’s music projects extend from virtual groups to artist collaborations and productions such as Arcane. True Damage’s return is another example of League of Legends characters appearing in stories beyond the game. Current broadcast details and programme changes can be followed through official LoL Esports channels.
