This animation is amazing. So many moments from a regular VALORANT round turned into cinematic glory. Even the gun-controlled UI from the Range!
Your #VALORANTChampions 2026 Anthem and music video is here. Listen to “IF THE SUN BURNS OUT TONIGHT” ft. Grabbitz, Oli Sykes, & Courtney LaPlante.
At the end of the world, when the void calls your name, will you FRAG or DIE??
Of all of the games I played today, this celebration is what my colleagues decided to clip lmao twitch.tv/teamrumble/clip/Mi…

Some background on our rollout plan for team voice: we worked with players around the world to gather feedback on what they expected from our team voice chat feature set. We heard clearly that voice moderation is a baseline expectation. As a result, we are shipping in regions when we are able to provide voice moderation in the most-spoken language(s).
We do not expect moderation to catch everything. It is the baseline starting point shippable experience and a space we’ll look to expand on in the future as detections and technical capabilities improve.
Thank you to each player who provided their perspective and feedback over the course of development. We’ll keep building this feature with you, your experiences, and your hopes in mind.
In today's Dev Update, @RiotPabro and @RiotMeddler are joined by @RiotPhreak and @RiotFeralPony. Together they discuss Team Voice, League Classic, ARAM: Mayhem, Ranked 5s, and more!

“If The Sun Burns Out Tonight”
This is your sneak peek of the Champions 2026 anthem featuring @grabbitz, @olobersyko of @bmthofficial and @corklezlaplante of @spiritboxband
Finally watched Come From Away this weekend (on stage). 10/10, no notes, might watch the AppleTV version (and would cry again)

In honor of League Classic: Here's a photo of Shaco ganking Ryze at PAX Prime! (Seattle, 2014)
I made my Shaco cosplay in 2012 when I was just starting university. Meeting players and Rioters is what led me to my decade-long career in games, with the last four years at Riot!
