Riot Games, the developer of popular first-person shooter VALORANT, has revealed the official anthem for VALORANT Champions 2025. Titled “Last Shot”, the track is produced by rising duo templuv and features Canadian artist 347aidan. The anthem will debut live during the Opening Ceremony of the VALORANT Champions Finals on 5 October at the Accor Arena in Paris.

The track is accompanied by a cinematic music video and will be released across all major streaming platforms. Riot Games describes “Last Shot” as a celebration of the competitive fire and emotional highs that define VALORANT Champions, with its lyrics reflecting the relentless drive of players and its visuals capturing the intensity of split-second, game-defining decisions.

templuv, composed of Julian Conner and Brodin Plett, bring an insider’s perspective to the collaboration. Plett, an avid VALORANT player and part of the content creator collective OfflineTV, channels his personal connection with the game into the project. 

“We’ve been playing VALORANT since beta, so getting a chance to contribute to this universe was a full-circle moment,” templuv said. “We’ve lived those clutch moments ourselves, and tapping into that gave us a chance to really push and play with templuv’s sound in new ways. It’s wild to get to be a part of this world and we can’t wait for other players to hear it.”
