K/DA Releases Four-Track ‘FIRESTARTER’ EP, Eyes Worlds 2026 Stage

Riot Games' virtual group K/DA has released a four-track FIRESTARTER EP. MIYEON and SOYEON return alongside Sophie Powers and Mimi Webb, with a Worlds 2026 opening-ceremony performance planned for November 14.

Introduction

The stars may be virtual, but the voices are unmistakably real. Gaming and pop music share the stage again.

What happened

In an October 22 release, Riot Games Japan confirmed the EP's availability on streaming platforms and its four tracks: FIRESTARTER, WATCH ME, NEVER GOING BACK, and GIRLS with DJ Sona. Fortiche produced the title track's music video, linked here from the official League of Legends channel.

Why it is trending

The League of Legends pop project that began with POP/STARS in 2018 has expanded its return beyond a single. MIYEON and SOYEON reprise Ahri and Akali, while Sophie Powers and Mimi Webb join as the voices of Evelynn and Kai'Sa, respectively.

People’s reactions

The listening hook is a familiar virtual lineup with a refreshed mix of real voices. Comparing the returning performers with the newcomers offers another way to hear the release; this is an editorial observation, not a measured fan consensus.

Background

K/DA bridges fictional League of Legends characters and real musicians, using songs and animation rather than a conventional game trailer.
