How Riot announced it
The first sign came on Wednesday, September 9. League's social accounts and Riot Games Music posted a short teaser of an answering machine by a window, with the band leaving each other voicemails while they rush to get ready for something. Alune turns up in it too (she's Aphelios's sister, and she appears in person on his HEARTSTEEL skin).
Five days later Riot put a date on it. League of Legends posted on X on September 14:
THE BOYS ARE BACK. HEARTSTEEL's newest single, 'LIVE MY LIFE' drops Friday.
League of Legends on X, September 14, 2026
Riot Games Music posted the date the same day. Maria Egan, Riot's Global Head of Music and Events, said this in the announcement:
Our virtual artists give players a completely different way to experience the champions they love, reimagining them in this alt fantasy being pop stars.

Who's singing this time
BAEKHYUN is the only artist coming back from the 2023 lineup. The rest of the voices are new.
PARANOIA, the debut single, came out on October 23, 2023. On that track tobi lou voiced K'Sante, ØZI voiced Sett and Cal Scruby voiced Kayn. For LIVE MY LIFE, Anderson .Paak takes over K'Sante, Connor Price is Sett and Nic D is Kayn. .Paak is a nine-time Grammy winner. I didn't expect Riot to replace three of the four voices on a band whose first song worked this well, and it's the part of the news I'd pay the most attention to on release day.
Yone and Aphelios keep the same jobs inside the band. Yone's the producer. Aphelios plays and writes. Neither had an outside artist credited on PARANOIA, and Riot hasn't named one for them this time.
It's a three year gap between singles. Riot's framing is that the band comes back more confident and more comfortable with who they are, after a first song built on ambition and doubt.
The new skins are here
The PBE build that landed on Tuesday, September 22, carries six new HEARTSTEEL skins for Ezreal, Kayn, Sett, K'Sante, Yone and Aphelios, and Riot named them after the single: HEARTSTEEL Live My Life. Sett's is a Prestige. All six went live with Patch 26.20 on October 7.
Five of the six came through the client with the same black placeholder splash the Coven skins had (Sett's art was already finished), so the splash art on our pages comes from Riot's own reveal posts that afternoon. They went live on October 7, 2026: the five Epics are 1350 RP each, and Prestige Sett is a premium battle pass reward.
All six are already up in 3D: Ezreal, Kayn, Sett, K'Sante, Yone and Aphelios, or the whole line side by side on the HEARTSTEEL page. Our PBE tracker has the rest of the build. Stay tuned to Nerfplz for the latest.
Every HEARTSTEEL skin in League of Legends
All seven launched together on November 8, 2023, in Patch 13.22, during Worlds. Six are regular store skins. Prestige HEARTSTEEL Yone was the event reward, bought with Worlds tokens. Counts here leave out chromas.
Five of the store skins are 1350 RP and Kayn's is 1820. Our RP calculator turns that into dollars, euros, reais or pesos at Riot's own bundle prices.
See them in 3D
All seven HEARTSTEEL skins sit together in our League of Legends skin library, where you can spin the models in the browser before you spend anything.
