League of Legends announced a new virtual band called “Heartsteel”, offering a male counterpart to the popular K/DA girl group.

Heartsteel is named for the new mythic item in the game and also a play on words since it’s a boy band (as in stealing your heart, get it?).

The band features:

• Ezreal (Vocalist)
• Kayn (Rapper, Instrumentalist)
• Aphelios (Instrumentalist, Songwriter)
• Yone (Producer)
• K’Sante (Co-Leader, Vocalist)
• Sett (Co-Leader, Rapper)

Heartsteel is the latest virtual band from Riot Games Music (RGM) which has previously made virtual bands with League of Legends characters in the past. The first “Pentakill” was initially just a series of themed skins. The whole idea of virtual bands for Riot took off with the popularity of KDA fashioned after K-Pop groups.

You can read more about Heartsteel from the official press release below, including how they’re teaming up with real world musicians to bring the group to life:

HEARTSTEEL will feature collaborations with renowned musical artists from a variety of genres: BAEKHYUN as Ezreal, ØZI as Sett, Tobi Lou as K’Sante and Cal Scruby as Kayn.

● BAEKHYUN is a member of the K-pop group EXO and SuperM, and is recognized as one of the top vocalists in K-pop. His previous credits include three successful mini-albums (City Lights, Delight, and Bambi) as a soloist, as well as various standalone singles and OSTs. Particularly noteworthy is his global popularity, marked by achieving his 9th million-seller record, encompassing both group and solo albums.

● Cal Scruby is a Los Angeles based rapper best-known for his clever lyrics and quirky visuals. His music touches on relatable topics with an array of sports references and self-deprecating humor.

● Born in Los Angeles and raised in Taipei, ØZI rose to stardom through his illustrious career in the Mandarin music scene. His versatility as a singer-songwriter, music producer, performer, and creative director has earned him countless accolades in the industry.
