A new VALORANT Champions Tour anthem titled 'If The Sun Burns Out Tonight' brings together Oli Sykes of Bring Me the Horizon, Courtney LaPlante of Spiritbox, and Grabbitz for VALORANT Champions Shanghai 2026.

Riot Games frames the collaboration as a natural fit within the VALORANT universe, blending the artists’ distinct voices and storytelling across metalcore and electronic influences.

Grabbitz wrote and produced the track, producing a cinematic EDM-infused metalcore crossover that leans toward atmosphere and drops, with Sykes and LaPlante switching between clean vocals and screams.

A music video for the anthem, including Valorant gameplay footage and an animated version, is released alongside the track on major streaming platforms.

The video centers on VALORANT characters in biopunk espionage-style scenes, emphasizing action and emotion rather than pure gameplay footage.

Valorant Champions has a history of global editions and anthems, continuing a tradition of cross-border, cross-genre collaborations since 2021, with this year’s anthem reinforcing the tournament’s legacy.

The article outlines tour and event contexts, noting BMTH and Spiritbox activity around the release, including BMTH’s North American dates and Spiritbox’s UK/Europe shows with other acts.

VALORANT Champions runs from late September to early October, with the anthem tying into the event that unfolds across multiple regions.

Grabbitz’s ongoing relationship with Valorant marks his fourth collaboration, following earlier anthems like Die For You and Fire Again, with the new track accumulating strong streaming traction.

Interviews and press materials highlight BMTH’s influence and LaPlante’s views on longevity and evolution within bands, framing the collaboration as a forward-looking artistic venture.

The anthem continues Riot’s cross-media strategy, aligning music with Valorant’s esports narrative and broader media projects.
