VIRGIN & RIOT GAMES PRESS PLAY

Virgin Music Group will release the soundtrack to Season 2 of Riot Games’ first animated series, Arcane. The show debuted on Netflix in 2021 and held the #1 global spot for three consecutive weeks. It was also nominated for five Emmys and took home four, including Best Animated Program.

“Riot Games are experts in creating enormously powerful moments around global fandom—first in gaming and now in entertainment and music,” said Virgin President/EVP Global Artist Relations Jacqueline Saturn. “With local experts in more than 30 countries around the world, Virgin Music Group is uniquely suited to partner with [Riot Global Head of Music] Maria [Egan] and the music team at Riot to fuel global fandom around this hugely exciting soundtrack album.”

Virgin will distribute the album globally, with the exception of China, where it will be distributed by Riot Games’ parent company, Tencent.

Arcane tells the origin story of two champions from Riot Games' League of Legends.
