Iconic Track Joins TFT’s Battle Arena in Latest Music Collaboration
Riot Games has officially announced a collaboration with Noisestorm, an acclaimed DJ and music producer, alongside the electronic music powerhouse, Monstercat. This partnership aims to integrate the energizing beats of Noisestorm’s viral sensation Crab Rave into the universe of Teamfight Tactics (TFT), the globally renowned PC strategy game. This move underscores TFT’s initiative to meld gaming with the dynamic world of electronic music.
Harmonizing Gameplay with Electronic Beats
The infusion of Crab Rave into TFT is set for the game’s upcoming patch 14.5, scheduled for release on Wednesday, March 6. The track will feature prominently in the game’s Crab Rave portal PvE rounds, adding a rhythmic backdrop to the strategic gameplay of TFT’s next set, Inkborn Fables. Players can anticipate the musical theme as they navigate through various stages, including a notable encounter with the Scuttle Crab, a pivotal character within the Crab Rave portal rounds.
Introduced in January 2024 with Patch 14.1, the Crab Rave portal quickly captured the interest of TFT enthusiasts, offering a unique blend of challenge and entertainment with its passive, dancing Scuttle Crabs. The integration of “Crab Rave” music aims to enrich this experience, especially during the intense battle with the Scuttle Crab on Stage 5.
A Crossover Hit: From Dance Charts to Gaming Charts
Noisestorm’s “Crab Rave” has enjoyed significant success since its release in 2018 under Monstercat, achieving RIAA gold accreditation and climbing to #14 on the Billboard Dance / Electronic Songs chart. The track’s music video boasts nearly 290 million views on YouTube, while Spotify streams are close to reaching 165 million. This partnership not only brings a chart-topping hit into the gaming arena but also marks TFT’s continued foray into integrating music with gameplay.
TFT’s Musical Journey Continues
Teamfight Tactics has gradually expanded its musical horizons, previously introducing Teamfight Tactics: Remix Rumble, a set featuring a musical composition theme and an original soundtrack. The collaboration with Noisestorm and Monstercat for the inclusion of “Crab Rave” represents another significant step in this direction, blending the realms of gaming and music for an immersive player experience.
This initiative reflects Riot Games’ innovative approach to enhancing game environments, offering players not just a strategy game but a culturally rich experience that resonates with the vibrant beats of today’s electronic music scene.
