Today, Riot Games announces that Lil Nas X has joined as the new president for League of Legends (“League“), one of the most played competitive games in the world. In this role, the genre-crossing rapper, singer and songwriter will be available from the start of the League-World Cup 2022 (“Worlds”) will be responsible for creating explosive musical moments, an ingenious League-Champion skin and a spectacular live performance at the Worlds for the more than 180 million monthly players* and fans in the League-universe.
“I felt it was time for me to try something new. I’ve made my mark on pop culture in so many ways, and now it’s time to tackle the world of gaming. I’m going to be the biggest president of League of Legends of all time. And anyway, I’m going to write the best Worlds anthem ever and put on the biggest, coolest, sexiest Worlds in the history of all Worlds,” says Lil Nas X. “STAR WALKIN’ is the only song you get to hear from now on. Swag fr!”
Lil Nas X’s first order of business as president will be to open Worlds with the competition’s highly anticipated annual anthem – this year sung by Lil Nas X himself. STAR WALKIN’ will be performed on September 23 just prior to the start of Worlds on September 29 in Mexico City. Next up, Lil Nas X and Riot Games will release a unique, co-designed skin (“Prestige Skin”) for a new League-Champion, “K’Sante the Pride of Nazumah.” Following the release, Lil Nas X will take the stage with an unforgettable live performance at the Worlds Opening Ceremony, presented by Mastercard, to kick off the World Finals at the Chase Center in San Francisco on Saturday, November 5.
“Lil Nas X is the most electrifying name in the music industry. When he showed up at our headquarters and told us he was president of League and would like to join us during the Worlds, we naturally said ‘yes’,” said Naz Aletaha, Global Head of League Esports At Riot Games. “We’re all excited about his vision, passion and undeniable style, and we can’t wait to see what he brings to the Worlds stage in San Francisco this November.”
The Lil Nas X “Prestige Empyrean K’Sante” skin, designed in collaboration with the artist, will be released worldwide on November 3 and can be unlocked until November 14. The in-game skin will not be available for direct purchase, but can be unlocked by playing League of Legends- or TFT-The skin can be earned during the Worlds 2022 in-game event. To permanently unlock the skin, players* must earn in-game currency (2,000 Worlds 2022 tokens). Following Riot Games’ first in-game partnership with Louis Vuitton, Lil Nas X’s Prestige Skin is the first in-game collaboration with an artist, giving fans the opportunity to celebrate this memorable partnership with a unique skin.
Worlds is the culmination of the LoL-Esports competition, in which the best teams from eleven different regions compete for the title of world champion. 24 teams participate in the tournament to crown one team as the best in the world. Year after year, the Worlds break all previous records: the 2021 finals recorded an average viewership of over 30 million per minute (AMA) and over 73 million maximum concurrent viewers.
