Riot Games has partnered with Japanese rapper and singer Yuki Chiba to produce the official anthem for the VALORANT Champions Tour Pacific circuit, marking the artist’s first gaming collaboration. The track, titled “Shinpai Muyou,” will be released worldwide via Coup D’Etat Recordings on July 11 across all major streaming services, and Riot Games will debut the music video on the VCT Pacific YouTube channel that day.

Jake Sin, head of VALORANT Esports for the Asia-Pacific region, framed the collaboration as a tribute to the community’s enthusiasm, noting that the anthem’s energetic bassline, driving drumbeats and Chiba’s signature delivery are tailored to fuel excitement ahead of the Finals roadshow in Japan.

Chiba positioned the song as a message of self-belief and carefree spirit, expressing hope that its upbeat rhythm and motivational lyrics will resonate with both casual listeners and professional competitors.

The release precedes VCT Pacific Stage 2, which opens July 15 in Seoul and concludes with Finals in Tokyo on August 30–31. Stage 2 results will determine two of the region’s four qualifiers for VALORANT Champions in Paris, while the remaining berths will be allocated based on championship points accumulated across the 2025 season. Ticketing details for the Tokyo Finals will be shared soon on the official VALORANT Esports website.

Riot Games, founded in 2006, has evolved from the developer of League of Legends into a multimedia entertainment company behind titles such as VALORANT, Teamfight Tactics and Legends of Runeterra. The VALORANT Champions Tour spans international leagues and global Masters events, culminating each year in a Champions tournament to crown a global champion.
