Video: RUMBLE Feat Steve Aoki (Official Music Video) | Teamfight Tactics

Riot Games revealed the cinematic trailer for Teamfight Tactics’ biggest update yet, and with it its latest in Riot’s real-world musical artist collaborators - Steve Aoki. Teamfight Tactics: Remix Rumble leans on music in a big way, from its remixed meta to its innovative soundtrack, where player decisions affect the audio in real-time. The animated trailer highlights a who’s who of Riot’s in-house bands, including K/DA, Pentakill, True Damage, and more – and features music remixed by acclaimed DJ/producer Steve Aoki.

“The way we worked with Steve on the music for this video piece was pretty interesting,” says Kole Hicks, composer at Riot Games. “Initially I sent over stems for two songs in four of our different styles; Classical, Jazz, Metal, and Hip Hop. From that, Steve picked a few elements that resonated with him and he built the remix, which was based on the overall concept of having those different musical styles weave together, but still also sound great as a standalone remix track. Then from that remix I took Steve's stems and built, edited, and added a few additional elements to create a custom music track that would work with our video. So, specifically for the cinematic, Steve's remix utilizes our in-game music as a core through-line and then I used Steve's remix as a foundation for our video." Kole Hicks, Composer - League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics.

The trailer is a celebration of music and its power to bring people together. In this case, however, the cast of Champions aren’t just there to watch the show. Prominent characters including Jhin, Yorick, and Jinx get their time on stage and off – including a mosh pit that may or may not include a motorcycle. In game, each character represents a corresponding musical genre, and placing them on the battlefield adds surprising new elements to the ever-evolving soundtrack. Players can recruit Champions within a single genre, creating the jazz, metal, emo, disco, country, or other supergroup of their dreams – with gameplay synergies to match. Or they can recruit their favorite rosters and experiment genre-bending mixes that pull from a variety of disparate genres. 

Aoki has also collaborated with the Teamfight Tactics art team on the design for two unique cosmetics; Scratch the Little Legend, and a “Get Caked” Boom, which flings a delicious (and humiliating) cake at opponents – complete with sprinkles. Scratch enters the Convergence as a serious-looking squirrel slash DJ perfectly suited to the Remix Rumble. Aoki was involved throughout the process of the creation of both of these cosmetics, including early brainstorming sessions and creative feedback throughout the iteration process. 

Teamfight Tactics: Remix Rumble is available now on PC and mobile, with complete cross-play and cross-progression. Similar to the base game and past Sets, players can jump into the action at no cost. Remix Rumble also includes a UX refresh on mobile, providing a visual and UI upgrade to better match the PC experience and officially launching tablet support.
