Hearts2Hearts Confirms ‘Next Chapter’ Single and Arena of Valor Live Debut

Hearts2Hearts has confirmed the music and gaming plans behind its upcoming Next Chapter collaboration with Arena of Valor, including an original single, a music video and a scheduled live performance in Thailand.

According to SM Entertainment’s October 13 announcement, the collaboration celebrates the game’s tenth anniversary. Next Chapter will arrive on music streaming platforms on October 16 at 6 p.m. KST, with its music video scheduled to premiere simultaneously through Hearts2Hearts’ official YouTube channel.

The partnership had already been teased through concept photographs, but the latest announcement establishes how the project will extend beyond its initial promotional campaign.

Hearts2Hearts is scheduled to perform Next Chapter live for the first time on October 23 at Arena of the Decade: RoV Pro League 2026 Winter, an esports event taking place in Bangkok, Thailand.

The collaboration will also continue inside the game. Future Arena of Valor content is planned to incorporate the members’ voices, with those additions expected to roll out in stages. The in-game content has not yet launched.

The project connects a new Hearts2Hearts music release with a live esports appearance and a continuing presence within the game, expanding the collaboration beyond a conventional promotional endorsement.

Further details about the planned in-game additions have not yet been announced.
