A Dream Collaboration with Riot Games
In an interview, Mike Shinoda, Linkin Park’s rapper and vocalist, couldn’t hide his excitement:
“It’s been an amazing experience partnering with Riot to bring this anthem to the global League of Legends community. The song is a real highlight of this new era for us, harnessing our signature sound and infusing it with fresh energy. We’re so excited for players and fans to experience this!”
This collaboration promises to unite music and gaming fans around the world, especially here in the Philippines, where League of Legends has a huge following.
Joining the Ranks of Epic Worlds Anthem Performers
By performing for Worlds 2024, Linkin Park joins an all-star lineup of artists who’ve previously headlined the event’s anthems, including Imagine Dragons, Lil Nas X, Zedd, and K-pop sensation NewJeans. It’s a testament to how esports and music are creating unforgettable experiences for fans.
Linkin Park’s Big Comeback in 2024
This marks a major comeback for Linkin Park, seven years after the tragic passing of their beloved frontman, Chester Bennington, in 2017. Since then, the band has released a few unreleased tracks to celebrate milestones of their iconic albums, like Hybrid Theory and Meteora. Now, with new members Emily Armstrong and Colin Brittain, Linkin Park’s next chapter begins with their upcoming album “From Zero,” set to drop on November 15.
Teams to Watch at Worlds 2024
Twenty of the world’s best teams, including the reigning champions from South Korea, T1, are set to compete in the month-long tournament. This year, the championship will be held across Germany, France, and England, making it one of the most exciting events in esports history.
