Is Katarina getting a new music band and skin?
If Riot Games is considering creating another virtual band or group featuring League of Legends champions anytime soon, one skilled assassin from the mid-lane may have already taken the first step to be part of it.
Polish singer-songwriter Carolin “Wønder” Mrugała recently released an original song titled “Born Ready (To Kill),” with Katarina, the deadly Noxian assassin, taking center stage. Fans of the music from League’s existing bands, like K/DA or True Damage, or even Heartsteel, are likely to find this track just as captivating.
According to Mrugała, the song is “written entirely from Katarina’s perspective.” She explained that her goal was to envision what it would be like if Katarina had her own musical skin, similar to popular League bands like K/DA.
The result is a bold and electrifying track that embodies Katarina’s ruthless and fearless nature, perfectly aligning with her in-game persona.
Mrugała, who is not just a fan but also a Katarina main herself, packed the song with subtle nods to the character’s voice lines, abilities, and even some hidden Easter eggs that longtime fans will recognize.
The response to the song has been overwhelmingly positive. Fans in the YouTube comment section have expressed their excitement, with one user highlighting how impressive it is for a smaller, independent artist to create such a polished song.
“I don’t think people realize how INSANE it is for a small artist to drop something like that independently.”
“So good it could be official! Riot, you better be seeing this.”
Right now is an exciting time for fans of League of Legends music. With the 2024 World Championship fast approaching on September 25, rumors are swirling about the possibility of Linkin Park performing the 2024 Worlds anthem.
The combination of new fan-made music like Mrugała’s and the buzz surrounding the Worlds Championship means that League-themed music continues to gain momentum.
