Mushkaa remixes the Valorant anthem for the VCT 2026 finals

The Valorant universe keeps expanding far beyond the game servers, and this time, music takes center stage. If you follow the eSports scene, you know the VCT EMEA finals are fast approaching. The massive news this July 2026 is the sick musical drop that Riot Games just gave the community.

To hype up the offline event, Riot teamed up with urban pop artist Mushkaa, who delivered an incredible remix of the tournament's famous anthem. It's time to crank up the volume while you warm up your aim for those intense ranked matches.

The Valorant anthem gets an urban and multicultural twist

The track is Villain (Take the Shot), originally released in 2024 by Barns Courtney, ARB4, and Eytan Peled. The original was an absolute banger, hitting over 6.6 million streams on platforms like Spotify. However, the brand-new remix dropped on July 13, 2026, giving the song a completely fresh and dynamic vibe.

Mushkaa has been making huge waves in the pop and urban music scene across Spain, selling out venues like the Sant Jordi Club and tearing it up at major festivals. With this project, she brings her own distinct identity to the esports world, dropping heavy verses in both Spanish and Catalan. The artist noted she wanted to celebrate her culture and language without losing the intense, aggressive energy that perfectly matches the tactical Shooter from Riot Games. Currently, the game boasts a massive 35 million active monthly players across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, making this collaboration a massive platform for her music.

When and where to watch the VCT EMEA finals

If you're wondering what makes this collaboration so special, look no further than this year’s venue. For the first time in the European circuit's history, the finals are leaving the Riot Games Arena in Berlin and landing directly in Spain. The battleground will be the massive Palau Olímpic de Badalona, just outside Barcelona.

The region's top teams—featuring heavyweights and fan-favorite local squads—will clash for regional dominance and a coveted spot at the upcoming global Valorant Champions tournament. This arena is legendary, having hosted historic basketball events during the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.

As you might have guessed, Mushkaa will be performing the remix live in front of a packed stadium right before the grand final. This is a monumental milestone for the European competitive community, bringing the high-octane action of VCT directly to the passionate Spanish fanbase.

Riot Games Music keeps dropping eSports hits

The Riot Games Music label proves once again that they know exactly what gamers want to listen to. They boast a massive catalog of over 1,000 songs, with at least 60 tracks entirely dedicated to the world of Valorant. From Zedd to Grabbitz, the label has consistently pushed the boundaries of video game soundtracks.

This fusion of digital culture, esports, and urban music showcases just how far the gaming universe has come. We'll have to see if the team that lifts the trophy in Barcelona can harness the hype of this killer remix.

Whether you're attending the live event or watching from home on Twitch, getting new music is always the perfect excuse to boot up the game. Are you ready to "Take the Shot"?
