Riot Games are bringing the global phenomenon
League of Legends franchise to television with the animated event series Arcane, set to premiere on Netflix worldwide in Fall 2021.
The series marks Riot Games’ first series for television. Set in Riot’s globally popular League of Legends IP, Arcane is an animated series developed and produced by Riot Games in partnership with Fortiche Productions.

The series promises to be a visually spectacular thrill ride that will have viewers on the edge of their seats.”
