League of Legends Champions Aphelios (Instrumentalist and songwriter) and Yone (Producer) complete the group.
"The idea of an all-male band has long been speculated on by fans and we’re so excited to bring this fantasy to life," Maria Egan, Riot Games Entertainment's Global Head of Music & Events, shares in a statement. "Heartsteel is a deep collaboration between all our talented in-house creative teams and some incredible new artists. The ethos of Heartsteel is a supergroup of musical soulmates greater than the sum of its parts: A philosophy that our community embodies every day through their dedication to our games."
Prior to announcing Heartsteel, who were named after a mythic item from League of Legends, Riot Games collaborated with 'Super Shy' act NewJeans on the League of Legends 2023 Season World Championship anthem 'GODS.'
