Riot Games drops new VCT Pacific anthem with Yuki Chiba ahead of Stage 2 kickoff

Japanese rapper’s first-ever gaming collab brings upbeat anthem ‘Shinpai Muyou’ to global fans on 11 July

Riot Games has teamed up with Japanese rapper and singer Yuki Chiba for the VCT Pacific anthem titled Shinpai Muyou, marking Chiba’s debut collaboration in gaming. The track will drop globally on 11 July across all streaming platforms via Coup D'Etat Recordings, with an official music video launching the same day on the VCT Pacific YouTube channel.

Featuring bouncy basslines and punchy drums, Shinpai Muyou blends Chiba’s signature flow with chantable hooks. “It’s a reminder to believe in yourself. There’s no need to stress when you can just vibe,” said Chiba. The song is set to build momentum for the VCT Pacific Stage 2, beginning 15 July in Seoul and culminating in a grand finals roadshow in Tokyo on 30-31 August.

“This is more than just music — it’s a celebration of our fandom and a lead-up to a historic final in Japan,” said Jake Sin, Head of VALORANT Esports, APAC.

The results from Stage 2 will influence which four Pacific teams qualify for VALORANT Champions in Paris later this year. Ticketing details for the finals will be announced on the official VALORANT Esports website.
