With HEARTSTEEL debuting their single next week, that makes now four virtual musical artists that Riot Games Music has in their pocket. With the Korean-inspired pop and EDM influences of girl group K/DA, the trap and R&B roots of hip-hop group True Damage, and the fantasy-driven power metal musings of heavy metal band Pentakill, HEARTSTEEL is a foray into a new musical genre for Riot Games Music.

That being said, expectations are sky-high for this genre-bending boy band. The 2023 League of Legends World Championship Anthem ‘GODS' featuring Korean girl group NewJeans was released to critical and commercial acclaim earlier this month. ‘GODS' has steadily been climbing the global charts since its initial release and as more attention is pulled in the direction of Riot Games Music, all the excitement around HEARTSTEEL is clear that Riot is capitalizing on all this hype well.

Riot’s latest virtual music group has a lot going for it and so far, the band shows a lot of promise to take Riot Games Music to new heights.
