Notably, it’s working on an exclusive and original podcast centering around the world of LoL esports. While the company doesn’t have a launch date for the podcast yet, it says it’s “already in the pipeline for this year.”
In addition, Spotify is also creating an official LoL hub populated with new gaming music, podcasts, and playlists, including the “Official League of Legends” and the “This Is League of Legends” playlists. Fans will also get a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the Worlds Anthem for LoL’s World Championships.
Spotify has been on a mission to diversify its catalog over the past year. It purchased Gimlet Media and The Ringer, making it the owner of some of the biggest podcasts available.
