The globally famous online video game League of Legends is getting a new TV adaptation on Netflix.
Arcane, an animated event series coming to the platform later this year in the fall, was revealed by the streamer. While no official release date has been announced, a frantic first-look teaser was released on Monday, giving us a glimpse of the gnarly fantasy action to come.

Arcane: Netflix release date confirmed? League of Legends animated series
Is an Arcane Netflix release date confirmed? When can audiences expect the League of Legends animated series to begin streaming?
The history of video game adaptations can perhaps most adequately be described as rocky.
From
Super Mario Bros. to
Warcraft, there have been some striking and ambitious attempts to bring some of the most beloved game properties to another medium. However, many have been widely disregarded by both fans of the existing property and casual audiences.
Nevertheless, if you’re a fan of a game, you can’t help but be intrigued when a movie or series adaptation is announced.
