Riot Games is adding a collection of League of Legends music videos to Netflix in its first partnership of this kind. The move brings several virtual music groups to the streaming service ahead of K/DA and True Damage’s performance at the League of Legends World Championship opening ceremony.
The collection, titled “League of Legends: Music Video Collection – K-pop & More”, becomes available from midnight local time on Thursday, 12 November. It includes videos such as K/DA’s “POP/STARS” and “FIRESTARTER”, both animated by Fortiche, the studio behind Arcane. Pentakill’s “Mortal Reminder” video and “Lost Chapter” concert are absent; the groups K/DA and True Damage are due to perform on 14 November, when Gen.G and BLG will compete for the Summoner’s Cup.

Explained simply
League of Legends is a competitive online game made by Riot Games. Its fictional world has inspired virtual music groups, including K/DA and True Damage, whose members are animated characters voiced by real performers. K/DA performs in a K-pop style, while Pentakill is a heavy metal group.
Riot has released music videos and concert films featuring these groups, sometimes with animation by Fortiche, the studio that also made Arcane. The collection brings some of that material to Netflix, while leaving out Pentakill videos. K/DA and True Damage are also part of the entertainment around the game’s annual world championship, where teams compete for the Summoner’s Cup.
