Riot Games Star Guardian event Details

Riot Games announced details of the global Star Guardian event, a 10-week magical experience that brings together global players and anime fans alike with immersive in-game content and out-of-game events. The Star Guardian event begins globally on Thursday, July 14, with the song and music video release of the event anthem “Everything Goes On” by Porter Robinson. Then, players and fans will see new content releases in “League of Legends”, “League of Legends: Wild Rift”, and “Legends of Runeterra”, and the launch of “Sessions: Star Guardian Taliyah” and the Star Guardian merch line.

Star Guardian is Riot Games’ tribute to the magical girl (mahō shōjo), an anime genre that empowers young women, shows the importance of good friends, and celebrates authentic representations of one’s self. Like the content and series that came before it, Star Guardian is a vibrant alternative universe that centers on a young cast of champions who navigate school relationships by day and the responsibilities of magical warriors by night.

Kicking off the event is the release of “Everything Goes On”, a song by acclaimed vocalist, songwriter, and producer Porter Robinson – Robinson wrote, produced and sang on the track. “Everything Goes On” tells the story of two Star Guardians, each independently coming to terms with their loss and finding the will to move on with their new comrades. The song will be available to stream on all major streaming platforms and its music video will premiere on YouTube.

This fourth iteration of the Star Guardian series will see fresh faces join popular favorites across three Riot titles:

• “League of Legends”, the world’s most-played PC MOBA, will be releasing 12 new Star Guardian skins, an in-client narrative experience titled Star Guardian: Another Sky, a brand new champion, and an event pass to unlock more exclusive content:
