VALORANT’s New Anthem Powers Up the 2025 Champions Tour
Riot Games just dropped the official anthem for the 2025 VALORANT Champions Tour and honestly, it’s hard not to hit repeat. “LAST SHOT”—a collab between templuv and 347aidan—is out everywhere, paired with a cinematic music video that ramps up all the high-stakes competitive feels and reminds us why VALORANT keeps setting the bar for game and music crossovers.
templuv, the duo of Julian Conner and Brodin Plett, aren’t just outsiders looking in—Brodin’s been grinding VALORANT since beta and actually reps the OfflineTV scene. That gamer cred translates straight into the track: you can hear the clutch moments, the adrenaline, and the energy that VALORANT players live for. As templuv puts it, working on “LAST SHOT” was a full-circle experience, pulling real emotion from the fracture zone between big plays and bigger heartbreaks.
Riot keeps raising the stakes, bringing community voices to the front and turning game fans into headline artists. Jonny Altepeter, Riot’s lead music supervisor, says templuv and 347aidan nailed the competitive intensity and heart of Champions with a sound that clicks instantly for both longtime players and newcomers. Prepare to feel it live—templuv and 347aidan are set to perform “LAST SHOT” at Paris’s Accor Arena during the opening ceremony on October 5, kicking off a finals weekend where the top 16 teams clash for the trophy.
VALORANT Champions Tour isn’t just stacking teams and records; it’s also building up a culture with each year’s anthem. Last year, EDG’s epic win drew a record 9 million+ concurrent viewers, nearly ten times the turnout back in 2021. Now, five years in, the Champions event returns—this time lighting up Paris, having already hit Berlin, Istanbul, LA, and Seoul. Previous anthems like “SUPERPOWER”, “Ticking Away”, “Fire Again”, and “Die For You” become more than singles: they’re legit VALORANT traditions.
Catch “LAST SHOT” on streaming and watch the cinematic video—the soundtrack for the moments only VALORANT can deliver.
