Riot Games and Virgin Music Group have unveiled the artists on the Arcane season 2 soundtrack.
The OST is set to feature exclusive tracks from high profile musicians such as Twenty One Pilots, Stray Kids, Young Miko, Stromae, Marcus King, Ashnikko, d4vd, and more.
Each track is an original composition crafted specifically for pivotal moments in the Emmy-winning series, which is adapated from the popular video game League of Legends. Notably, many of the artists featured on the soundtrack are League of Legends players, passionate Arcane fans, and previous Riot Games collaborators.

"I found myself inspired by season 1 and how the idea of family and who can make up your family sits within the central theme, and how music contributed to bringing that to life within the world of Arcane,” said Tyler Joseph of Twenty One Pilots.
"We're very passionate about Arcane and League of Legends," said Stray Kids. "Our single 'Come Play' has a dynamic taste to it, bringing all sorts of voices and languages together. We enjoy playing League, and we're excited for fans to hear this song and see the second season of Arcane!"
“Arcane’s groundbreaking approach to music inspired an incredibly diverse group of artists from many genres, languages, and cultures who wanted to be part of this new season. We also wanted to represent the global reach of League of Legends by working with artists from all around the world,” said Maria Egan, Global Head of Music at Riot Games. “Each song was a unique collaboration between the artists, our showrunners, and Riot’s composers. Music is the heartbeat of the League community and we can’t wait for our fans to experience this epic album to deepen their connection to these powerful stories.”
The first single on the soundtrack, 'Paint The Town Blue' by Ashnikko, was released last week. The final season of Arcane debuts on Netflix in November 2024.
