Arcane (titled onscreen as Arcane: League of Legends) is an animated action-adventure series created by Christian Linke and Alex Yee for Netflix. Produced by Fortiche under the supervision of Riot Games, it is set in the League of Legends Arcane timeline[1][2], and focuses on several characters from the games, particularly and . The series was first released in November 2021. A second season was released on November 9th 2024.
Description[]
Based on the world behind League of Legends, Arcane dives into the delicate balance between the rich, utopian city of Piltover and the seedy, oppressed underground of Zaun. Known across Runeterra as the "city of progress," many of the most brilliant minds call these cities home. But the creation of hextech, a way for any person to control magical energy, threatens that balance. The story follows the origins of two iconic League champions-and the power that will tear them apart. Like the game on which it is based, Arcane is aimed at a "16+" audience and will deal with some more adult subject matter.

Development[]
Season 1[]
Pitched by Linke and Yee in around 2014-2015, everything from planning and starting up the project to the overall writing, production, and animation took around six years before its eventual release.[8][9][10][11] With this being the company's first foray into this media format, Riot Games decided to have Arcane developed internally and independently financed,[12] though initially through the collaboration of Linke and Yee with artists they've worked with before they began to receive more funding from Riot.[10]
Riot's then Global Head of Entertainment Businesses and Partnerships Jarred Kennedy worked with a creative team of writers (including Linke and Yee) in Los Angeles. The series was produced with and animated by Fortiche Productions, a French animation and creative production studio based in Paris that has worked with Riot on various videos for its champions in the past.[12] The voice actors came in early in the production process,[9][13] but majority of the main cast was only announced years later on September 21st, 2021.[14][15]
The series was announced on October 15th, 2019 as part of the League of Legends 10th anniversary celebrations,[12][16] with Riot Games' CEO Nicolo Laurent stating that they have plans for Arcane to have multiple seasons.[17] Original slated for a 2020 release,[12] the show was delayed to 2021 due to COVID-19-related difficulties.[18] On May 3rd, 2021, it was announced that the show has been picked up by Netflix for international release and by Tencent Video in China with a fall release date.[19][20] On September 25th, 2021, the release date for the first 3 episodes was revealed to be November 6th, 2021.[21]
Though the events of the series are heavily based on the established lore of the game, some differences have already been noted in the series. Creators Christian Linke and Alex Lee have shared that the changes are not necessarily retcons but are "adjustments in order to give [the viewers] the best story possible". Though working to make Arcane as consistent as possible with canon, as of 2021, he doesn't "think [they] would be considered a source of truth over the game", adding that they are taking into consideration the reaction of the fans, the current setup of Riot and its games, as well as the updates and changes to the characters.[22]
On January 29th, 2022, Thomas 'Wikingham' Cunningham, Senior Manager of Narrative Editing for League of Legends, would state in an interview with Polygon that "Their stories and their designs in Arcane are intentionally different from the Jayce and Viktor you see in-game, specifically to fit the show. So, it’s unlikely that we will make major changes to League of Legends’ Jayce and Viktor to match 1:1 with Arcane’s," when asked if any of these changes will eventually be consolidated into the game’s canon at large. Based on his response at the time, Arcane and League of Legends were separate entities, with the former drawing heavy influences from the latter, but ultimately deviating to better support the show.[23]
On February 16th 2023, Andrei 'Meddler' van Roon, the Head of League Studio, stated that Riot was going to be more "thoughtful" and "deliberate" about making a "consistent and cohesive wider Runeterran experience", in reference to the lore of League of Legends being inconsistent across different mediums.[24] When asked how this approach to narrative cohesiveness would affect Arcane, he noted that Riot wants to "get to a state where Arcane, LoL, LoR etc are all clearly building in the same canon".[25] On October 12th, 2023, Laura 'poisonpixxi' DeYoung, Head of IP Creative for Riot Games, elaborated on their new approach to narrative cohesiveness by explaining that there would be one shared canon moving forward and confirmed that Arcane was part of that canon.[26][27] Andrei van Roon would also note that the origin of hextech in Arcane would be the new origin going forward and champions related to it would be adjusted to match.
Season 2[]
Following the season's conclusion on November 20th, 2021, Riot Games and Netflix announced that a second season was in production.[28][29][30] On November 9th, 2023, Netflix announced that season 2 would premiere in November 2024 at Geeked Week 2023.[31] On November 12th, 2023, series co-creator Christian 'Praeco' Linke noted that a "song that everyone on the team absolutely LOVES for a particular scene" created by a "(very big) artist" for specific moment was in development for the second season. However, because Riot could not guarantee a marketing campaign that would elevate it above the other songs in the soundtrack, the record label would likely not allow them to use it.[32] On July 4th, 2024, Christian confirmed they were able to work it out with the artist and use the song in season 2.[33] On January 5th, 2024, Riot premiered a clip of season 2 as part of League of Legends' Season 2024 commencement event and announced that Ambessa Medarda would be released as champion in League of Legends and Wild Rift later in the year, as well as an update for a champion that would be featured in season 2.[34][35]
On June 11th, 2024, Riot premiered a teaser trailer for season 2, as well as a message from series co-creator Christian 'Praeco' Linke. Christian revealed that the story of Arcane would end with the second season, however, he also noted that Arcane was the beginning of Riot's storytelling journey and partnership with Fortiche and announced that they were working together on new projects across film and television.[36]
On July 21st, 2024, Paul 'Pabro' Bellezza, Executive Producer of League of Legends and former Director of Creative Game Production for League Studio, confirmed that Heimerdinger would be releasing in Wild Rift's 5.3 patch in celebration of Arcane Season 2. In addition, he also premiered a clip from season 2 featuring Heimerdinger and Ekko.[37]
On September 5th, 2024, Riot premiered the official trailer for season 2, along with the reveal of the first song of the season 2 original soundtrack, Paint the Town Blue featuring Ashnikko.[38] On September 12th 2024, the remaining artists featured in the season 2 original soundtrack including Woodkid, Mako, Tom Morello, Twenty One Pilots, King Princess, and more.[39] On September 20th, 2024, Netflix premiered another trailer at Geeked Week 2024 and revealed that season 2 would release in 3 acts on November 9, November 16, and November 23. Ella Purnell and Hailee Steinfeld also announced that they were filming an after-show named Arcane Afterglow that would break down each act of season 2 and share behind the scenes info with series co-creator Christian Linke.[40]
Marketing and Release[]
Season 1[]
Riot Games promoted the launch of Arcane through multiple events.
During the 2021 League of Legends Worlds Championship, the opening for the finale was Arcane themed. Several musicians such as Imagine Dragons, JID, Denzel Curry, Bea Miller, and PVRIS all performed through pre-recorded performances on stages that blended practical sets with digital effects. Two songs performed, "Welcome to the Playground" and "Enemy", would later reappear in the show.
Through RiotX Arcane, Riot promoted the show within their own games such as League of Legends, Legends of Runeterra, Teamfight Tactics, Wild Rift, and Valorant.[41] They also did promotional collaborations with non-Riot games such as PUBG MOBILE[42], Fortnite[43], Among Us[44], and Magic: The Gathering[45].
Riot promoted the show with a Arcane themed cafe (with its own exclusive cafe merch) and art exhibition hall in South Korea.[46][47] It lasted a week before the global premiere of the show. Similarly, the show was promoted in cities like New York (US), Moscow (Russia), Rio de Janeiro (Brasil), and Dubai (UAE). This was done with Arcane billboards scattered across the city on buildings and advertisement covers on metro trains. In case of Dubai, the Burj Khalifa was lit up with an Arcane themed projections that lasted several minutes.[48]
Several Arcane themed murals popped-up in cities like: Barcelona (Spain)[49]; Gdynia, Katowice, Warsaw, Wrocław (Poland)[50]; Prague (Czechia)[51].
On November 6th, 2021, for the global premiere, Riot Games hosted a live event at their headquarters. Numerous actors from the show, show developers, Riot employees, and popular fan content creators were invited to participate in the premier of the first episode. Riot streamed this event and the first episode on Twitch. Some content creators were allowed to co-stream (as well as interview several Riot employees and co-creators of Arcane before the episode premiered[52]) the first three episodes of the series once they received permission from Riot Games, a first for a Netflix series, which also allowed viewers to retrieve in-game drops during the premiere.[53] Drops were only included in the games League of Legends (Arcane Capsule), Wild Rift ("A Single Tear" Emote), Teamfight Tactics (Gizmos & Gadgets Little Legends Egg), Legends of Runeterra ( "Fascinating" Emote), and Valorant ("Fishbones" Gun Buddy).[54] The premiere received 1.8 million concurrent viewers on Twitch.
In conjunction with RiotXArcane, between the airing of Act 2 and Act 3, Riot hosted a live event called Undercity Nights.[55] During that event guests were able to enjoy their night in a bar created to resemble the Last Drop from the show.[56] The live event had a two-day broadcast, featuring live competitions from Riot's games as well as discussions from within a recreated Last Drop Office room. On both days of the broadcast was co-streamable to all content creators and watchable on Twitch and YouTube. A second chance to earn Twitch Drops from Arcane's Premiere were enabled during the broadcast of this event.[57]
Additional details about Chem-Barons companies were released on the Enter the Undercity live event site, which was tied to the Undercity Nights live party event.[58][59][60][61][62] During the Enter the Undercity event, several cosplayers were hired by Riot to play characters from the show, as well as others made for the event itself. Additionally, several previously unnamed characters from the show had their names revealed through this cosplaying event, such as the chem-baroness , and thugs and .[63]
Other marketing endeavors included an Arcane filter on TikTok,[64] a dance in Just Dance 2023 featuring Jinx and Playground by Bea Miller,[65][66] Arcane themed candy bars by Compartés Chocolatier,[67] and a partnership with Rihanna's Fenty Beauty line.[68]
The first season was released in three installments ("Acts") with 3 episodes each.[69] Episodes are roughly 40 minutes long.[70]
On July 19th, 2024, Riot announced in collaboration with GKIDS Films, the pre-order for the physical blu-ray release of Arcane Season 1.[71] On July 22nd, 2024, Riot announced the pre-order for The Art and Making of Arcane, an art book published by Insights Edition that details the development of Arcane Season 1 and 2.[72] On July 26th, 2024, Riot announced the pre-order for the vinyl of Arcane Season 1's original soundtrack.[73]

Trivia[]
- Series co-creator, Christian 'Praeco' Linke, also composed and themes.
- The show was named Arcane due to magic tying the world of Runeterra together, with every region and champion having a different relationship to it.[97]
- The show was independently financed by Riot which, according to Jarred Kennedy, Riot's global head of IP businesses and partnerships, gave the studio “the creative oversight that we needed.”[98]
- The series will be most appealing to those who are already familiar with the mythology of the game and want to further explore its roots. Riot co-founder Brandon 'Ryze' Beck told The Hollywood Reporter: “Originally, League started off with a bunch of characters and we threw them together really quickly. Over time, players became really attached to the characters and we wanted to build more of a universe around them [with Arcane].”
- To promote the series, League of Legends released a slew of new features in the Into the Arcane event, codenamed trueshot internally.
