The World Final Songs 2023 – Gods are composed by Sebastien Najand – the main music producer of Riot Games and Alex Seaver (MAKO), co -composed the hits of League of Legends such as “Legends Never Die”, “Rise” and “Awaken”, and many songs in Arcane animated series.
Gods will tell about the journey from the early days of knowing League of Legends in high school years to the incredible journey of the Korean professional player – Kim “Deft” Hyuk -Kyu at Worlds 2022. The song not only shows his personal story or his indomitable spirit, but also clearly reveals the journey of the Drx team that has overcome all difficulties to become a world champion.
“The title song of Worlds is the annual signal for our community, so we are very excited to cooperate with Newjeans to bring this wonderful moment,” Carrie Dunn – Esports Global Creative Director at Riot Games, said.
“With the event of Worlds 2023 taking place in Korea and the illustrious reputation of Newjeans, it seems that the fate has arranged for this cooperation to become a moment of honoring the true culture. Gods song combines the monumental elements and the great and powerful voice of Newjeans, thereby conveying the harshness as well as glory waiting for players at Worlds 2023.”
“We do not want to reveal too much about music videos, but wait for familiar faces and unforgettable moments when watching Deft's story from the first days in 2013 to the victory in the World final last year. From the ally to the enemy is the story that every player has experienced, and we think the song 'Gods' will create a premise for the successful World Event.”
Meanwhile, the Newjeans group shared: “We all feel extremely excited to hear this song for the first time. Because this is completely different from the songs that we used to make before, this song made us excited when conducting recording.
