League of Legends: Wild Rift marks its fifth anniversary with “Miss This Life,” an electro-pop anthem performed by aespa’s NINGNING in collaboration with Riot Games and inspired by players’ journeys. The track also celebrates in-game champions and the game’s evolution over five epic years.
“Miss This Life,”which launches in-game and on streaming platforms, captures the nostalgia and energy shared between players and the Wild Rift universe. Other exciting anniversary updates that fans and players can look forward to include Nidalee’s debut in Wild Rift, ARAM+ updates with new Augments and the global expansion of Wild Rounds: SMASH.
Besides the music collaboration celebrating the evolution of both the game and its players, Wild Rift marks five years since its global launch with in-game events and new content. “Miss This Life” parallels a player’s journey from college life to adulthood — reflecting both personal growth and the enduring stories of Wild Rift’s champions. The song will debut in-game and across major streaming platforms as part of the anniversary celeb, with a music video highlighting memorable champion moments and fan nostalgia.
Nidalee, the iconic huntress from League of Legends, also makes her Wild Rift debut, adding a dynamic new jungle experience for players. Fan-favorite game mode, AAARAM, receives an update with pro player-inspired Augments.
Wild Rounds: SMASH, Wild Rift’s grassroots competitive series, continues to grow — spanning more than 20 regions and thousands of players worldwide, reflecting the game’s vibrant and expanding community ecosystem. The next installment will take place in Vietnam from November 14 to 16.
David Xu, executive producer of Wild Rift, said: “Five years in, Wild Rift has become more than a mobile MOBA. It’s a place where players’ stories grow alongside their favorite champions and their epic outplays. NINGNING’s ‘Miss This Life’ captures that shared sense of nostalgia and progress perfectly, capturing the energy and emotion of endless discovery and anticipation of what is to come — just like Wild Rift players have done over these five amazing years.”
