Anyma and Riot Games Join Forces for Unprecedented Worlds Ceremony

The worlds of electronic music and esports are set for a monumental collision as futuristic artist Anyma has been announced as the creative force behind the 2025 League of Legends Worlds Opening Ceremony. The dance titan, whose real name is Matteo Milleri, will unveil a unique live show on November 9 that promises to blend music, technology, and storytelling in a way fans have never seen before. "It’s going to be pretty groundbreaking," Anyma told NME, setting high expectations for the event in Chengdu.

The ceremony will feature a reworked version of the official 2025 Worlds anthem, ‘Sacrifice’, performed alongside Chinese pop superstar G.E.M. They will be joined by longtime League of Legends collaborator Chrissy Costanza and Austrian singer TEYA, creating a star-studded lineup for the championship’s kickoff.

A Gamer's Vision Comes to Life

For Milleri, this collaboration is more than just a gig; it's a passion project. "I’ve been an avid gamer all my life, so headlining Worlds 2025 is a real honour," he stated, citing iconic game series like Final Fantasy, Zelda, and Metal Gear Solid as major inspirations for the Anyma project. "I’m thrilled to bring my sound and touch into their world to push the boundaries of what’s possible."

Riot Games echoed this excitement, emphasizing the depth of the partnership. "Anyma has inspired us with his groundbreaking approach to visuals and stage craft," said Maria Egan, Riot Games’ global head of music. "Our teams have never collaborated with another artist so deeply on the visuals at Worlds... we’re confident players and fans will be blown away." Milleri confirmed the intensity of the six-month project, calling it a "very advanced" step for his creative vision.

From Genesys to a New ÆDEN

Anyma is no stranger to creating large-scale, immersive experiences. His previous project, the 'Genesys' album trilogy, concluded with historic shows at Las Vegas’ The Sphere and The Great Pyramids of Giza. Now, he’s closing that chapter and looking toward the future.

Following the League of Legends Worlds, fans won't have to wait long for his next evolution. Anyma is set to debut an entirely new creation, ÆDEN, at Coachella 2026. While details remain scarce, he promised "new characters, new songs and different perspectives on the storytelling."

"I want to carry on with the core of what I do, but also push things a little further,” Milleri explained. The Worlds 2025 opening ceremony is not just a performance; it's a preview of an artist determined to redefine the live experience, merging the digital worlds he loves with physical reality.
