In an unprecedented move, K-pop girl group LE SSERAFIM is set to collaborate with Blizzard Entertainment’s Overwatch 2. This partnership will see the world of gaming and K-pop music converge in a spectacular fashion.
LE SSERAFIM, celebrated for their musical masterpieces like FEARLESS and ANTIFRAGILE, will be at the heart of this collaboration. The game will introduce a custom game mode and exclusive in-game items inspired by the group, including Legendary hero skins. These items are slated for release on November 1, 2023.
LE SSERAFIM to drop new song
Additionally, fans of the group can look forward to their latest single, Perfect Night, dropping on October 27 at 1PM KST. The song will be an integral part of the in-game experience.
LE SSERAFIM will also perform Perfect Night during a live performance at BlizzCon on November 4. This annual gaming convention in Anaheim, California, is poised to offer attendees an unparalleled blend of gaming and live music.
The synergy between LE SSERAFIM and Overwatch 2 has been the talk of the town. Overwatch’s general manager, Walter Kong said: “Like the heroes of Overwatch, the LE SSERAFIM members are amazing as individuals, but unstoppable when they come together.”
