Riot Games virtual groups K/DA and HEARTSTEEL reportedly returning in 2026

Leaked information suggests a major return for Riot Games’ virtual music groups, K/DA and HEARTSTEEL, within League of Legends. According to leaks attributed to CNPeterLee, a new skin collection titled ‘K/DA FIRESTARTER’ is expected during Season 3 of 2026. This collection reportedly features the original four-member lineup: Ahri, Akali, Evelynn, and Kai’Sa.

Additionally, a ‘HEARTSTEEL 2026’ skin set is rumored to include Aphelios, Ezreal, Kayn, K’Sante, Sett, and Yone. The leaks also include concept imagery for merchandise such as light sticks and enamel pins.

Further evidence of a musical comeback surfaced via the ASCAP repertory, where a new K/DA track titled ‘WATCH ME’ has been registered. This would mark the group’s first new release since the ‘MORE’ single in 2020. While these details have not been officially confirmed by Riot Games, community speculation suggests the release may coincide with the Worlds 2026 tournament window.
