The reveal featured all five original members: Ekko, Akali, Qiyana, Senna, and Yasuo. It was framed as a livestream courtesy of Ekko, and the post itself was captioned as "a small update from your Worlds artists."
Out of the five artists from 2019, only one will reprise their role. SOYEON of I-dle returns as Akali, while the rest of the group gets new artists.
Singer-songwriter Coco Jones is Senna. She was also cast in several Disney Channel shows like So Random! and Good Luck Charlie.
Mexican singer-songwriter Sofía Reyes is Qiyana. She shot to fame in 2018 with "1,2,3" featuring Jason Derulo and De La Ghetto.
American rapper Vic Mensa completes the group as Ekko.
This picks up immediately after the short teaser we got with HEARTSTEEL Yone talking to Yasuo on the phone.

This comes seven years after their debut single, GIANTS.
With True Damage as the Worlds artists, this poses the question of where K/DA is. We already saw the new Firestarter designs with the leak a few weeks ago, and that their track is most likely named "Start A Fire."
K/DA will most likely have a standalone comeback that isn't tied to Worlds. This was the case with Pentakill III in 2019 (that year, Burn It All Down was the Worlds anthem)
This also means that K/DA's comeback not be the Worlds anthem, marking the first time in three years that the anthem is not premiered the day before Worlds starts.
In recent years, the Worlds anthem gets released the day before Worlds starts. This was the case with Sacrifice for Worlds 2025 and Heavy is the Crown for Worlds 2024. GODS premiered six days before Worlds 2023.
The real losers here are Pentakill, given that we haven't heard anything regarding the metal band.
True Damage's Know My Name releases on Oct. 8. Worlds 2026 begins Oct. 15, 2026.
