The hugely popular virtual K-pop group K/DA from League of Legends universe is rumoured to return this year.
Reliable leaker “LeagueofLeaks” on X has claimed that K/DA will return in Season 3 of 2026 with new music and new skins.
K/DA consists of LoL champions Akali, Ahri, Kai’Sa and Evelynn, and still has over 2 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
In fact, the group has recorded over 1.4 billion listens on the streaming platform across just six songs.

What Could We Expect From New K/DA?
A K/DA comeback would mark six years since Riot last released any new K/DA content, with the single ‘MORE’ the group’s last release back in October 2020.
Though a new K/DA collab was released just last week, as the LoL group’s music was added to the ‘Rift of the Necrodancer’ rhythm game.
For K/DA’s new release, it’s not yet known whether Riot will bring back the exact same musicians or go with a new line-up for the virtual band.
The original K/DA line-up featured Miyeon from (G)I-DLE (Ahri), Soyeon from (G)I-DLE (Akali), Madison Beer (Evelynn), and Jaira Burns (Kai’Sa).
New K/DA music will likely mean another K/DA Worlds performance like the 2018 Worlds Final, which featured AR projections of the champions performing in Incheon, South Korea.

This year, the performance would likely be at the LoL Worlds 2026 final in the Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York, on November 14.
Many are also speculating that a K/DA set will be released for LoL trading card game, Riftbound.
The next set, Radiance, is confirmed to be headlined to include K/DA member Evelynn as well as singer Seraphine after the reveal of the T1 2025 Worlds Riftbound set.
That has led some to believe that a musical-themed set is coming and would surely have to include the popular K-pop group.
