A song from League of Legends popstars K/DA is being added to Just Dance 2021 for free.
K/DA stands for Kills/Deaths Assists, a key stat for competitive gamers in League of Legends and elsewhere. The pop group consists of 4 playable legends: Kai'Sa, Ahri, Akali, and Evelynn. The fictional group has become somewhat of a viral sensation, with their first song “POP/STARS” topping Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart and netting nearly 400 million views on YouTube. This year, K/DA released a five song EP titled, ALL OUT, and now a song from it will be danceable to in this years’ Just Dance 2021.
The song is titled “Drum Go Dum” and will feature four Just Dance-ers dressed as the four legends. The dance moves will come from the official music video of the song that featured dancer Bailey Sok. The song will be free for all dancers until February 25, after which point the song will only be available to Just Dance Unlimited subscribers, which costs $3.99 a month or $24.99 a year.
Developers of League of Legends and creator of K/DA Riot Games also revealed a line of merch to promote the release K/DA’s EP this month. The line includes shirts, sweaters, and hoodies based on the designs from the group’s members and range in price from $35 to $65.
K/DA also has a connection to Leage of Legends newcomer Seraphine. Seraphine covered the hit “POP/STARS” song by the group and then later collaborated with them. Seraphine has come under a great deal of fire, however, for having multiple problematic aspects, including a social media persona capitalizing on a fictional character's mental illness and having her design allegedly be based on a woman who once dated a developer at Riot Games. Riot has since denied any wrong-doing.
Just Dance 2021 is available now for PS5, PS4, Stadia, Switch, Xbox, and Xbox Series S and X.
