Arcane is just a few months away from the highly anticipated premiere of its second and final season. Following the incredible success of the animated series, fans have been eager for more. It has now been confirmed that additional stories from the widely popular League of Legends universe are on the horizon.
While the Arcane chapter is coming to a close, the franchise is far from over, as confirmed by co-creator Christian Linke. In a recent video discussing the conclusion of the widely popular animated series, Linke stated that Arcane is merely the beginning of their storytelling journey. Through their longstanding collaboration with Riot Games and the animation studio Fortiche, they are currently developing new projects to spotlight other characters’ stories. Although these projects are still in the early stages of development, they hope to provide more updates by the end of the year.
While Riot Games needs no introduction as the creators of League of Legends and therefore Arcane, the French animation studio Fortiche has been instrumental in bringing this world to the screen. Fortiche has collaborated with Riot on Arcane and several other Riot-related projects for years and is now gearing up for more exciting works. Linke stated that they always intended to conclude Arcane with Season 2, wrapping up the story of Jinx and Vi. However, this is just the beginning, as they plan to share many more stories from the rich League of Legends universe. The next phase will focus on other characters, although specific ones have not been revealed yet. Fortiche’s long-standing collaboration with Riot Games has set the stage for these new projects, which will include both television and film adaptations. While these projects are already in development, there is currently little information available about them. Fans can expect more updates from the developers by the end of the year, as they continue to expand the storytelling possibilities within the beloved world of Runeterra.
Ever since the premiere of the first season of Arcane back in November 2021, the series has surpassed all expectations and set a new standard for video game adaptations. The series has won numerous awards, including four Emmys – one for Outstanding Animated Program and three for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation for episodes four, six, and seven. This achievement made Arcane the first video game adaptation to win both Annie Awards and Primetime Emmys. It currently boasts a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, highlighting its universal acclaim. The series has been praised for its stunning animation, complex story, and captivating soundtrack, garnering a dedicated fanbase and critical recognition alike. The anticipation for the second and final season is immense, with fans and critics expecting it to match, and even surpass, the achievements of the first season. As Arcane continues to set benchmarks in the world of animated series and video game adaptations, its final season is set to cement its legacy as a groundbreaking and influential work in the genre.
Season 2 of Arcane will premiere on Netflix in November 2024.
