Quote from David Xu, Executive Producer of Wild Rift:
“Five years in, Wild Rift has become more than a mobile MOBA—it’s a place where players’ stories grow alongside their favorite champions and their epic outplays. NINGNING’s ‘Miss This Life’ captures that shared sense of nostalgia and progress perfectly, capturing the energy and emotion of endless discovery, and anticipation of what is to come —just like Wild Rift players have done over these five amazing years.”
