Sketchbook Celebrating Virtual Pop Supergroup Will Be Published On Friday, October 16

Riot Games and Louis Vuitton have teamed up for the publication of Tempo Point, a Louis Vuitton Travel Book focused on K/DA, the virtual pop supergroup within the iconic League of Legends IP. Tempo Point envisions 24 hours within the individual lives of K/DA members Ahri (vocalist), Akali (rapper), Evelynn (vocalist), and Kai’Sa (vocalist and lead dancer/choreographer). Tempo Point is the most recent addition to Louis Vuitton’s Travel Book collection of travel books by artists from across the world.

In 2019, Louis Vuitton and Riot Games collaborated for the first time when Louis Vuitton served as the official Summoner’s Cup Trophy Trunk provider for the League of Legends World Championship, also known as Worlds. Additionally, Nicolas Ghesquière, Artistic Director of Women’s Collections, designed in-game skins for champions Qiyana and Senna, members of Riot’s virtual hip-hop collective True Damage. The partnership also included the physical LV x LOL capsule collection designed by Nicolas Ghesquière, which consisted of more than 40 different products including apparel, bags, accessories and more.

In 2020, Louis Vuitton and Riot Games continued their partnership with a second collaboration. The House dressed K/DA and fellow champion Seraphine, who is featured on K/DA’s hit single “MORE,” for pre-concert promotions. Lexie Liu, who voiced Seraphine on “MORE,” also wore Louis Vuitton when she performed with K/DA at the Worlds Opening Ceremony.

The book will be available in two formats: a Standard Edition and a Collector’s Large-Format Edition and contains English, French, and Chinese. Both editions will be cloth-bound hardcover books featuring six-color printing with a silk-screened cover. The Standard Edition (ISBN#978-2-36983-569-1) will cost 68 USD and will be available for purchase online on Louis Vuitton’s website, at Louis Vuitton stores, select bookstores, and at the League of Legends Worlds 2026 Fan Fest event in New York. The Collector’s Edition (ISBN#978-2-36983-570-8), available in only 400 copies, will cost 245 USD and will be available for purchase online on Louis Vuitton’s website, at Louis Vuitton stores, and in select bookstores. Additionally, an exclusive limited edition of 30 signed and numbered copies, which feature an exclusive vinyl record, will be available only in select Louis Vuitton stores. These volumes will be bound in leather and presented in a slipcase. Price is available upon request.

K/DA brings Ahri, Akali, Evelynn, and Kai’Sa beyond the League of Legends game and onto the global pop stage, reimagining the four champions as artists with their own identities, styles, and creative voices. The group’s name references in-game shorthand for the player’s Kills, Deaths, and Assists. Since debuting in 2018 with the viral hit “POP/STARS,” K/DA has grown from a K-pop inspired group to a global pop phenomenon, helping redefine how beloved game characters can transcend the monitor and connect with audiences through reinvented alter-egos, music and culture. With a catalog spanning their chart topping debut single and ALL OUT EP, the group has amassed more than 2.7 billion global streams and 1.8 billion video views, with “POP/STARS” earning RIAA platinum certification.
