Nicolo Laurent, CEO of Riot Games:

“Players around the world love the league and the universe. Your passion for designing Runeterra inspires us to do justice to our fan base.

The World Cup and Arcane will unite in a unified global festival that brings competition, entertainment and community together in a whole new way.

That’s what Arcane is all about

Based on the world of League of Legends, Arcane delves into the delicate balance between the rich city of Piltover and its unnatural, shady side of Zaun. It is known throughout Runeterra as the “City of Progress” and many of the most intelligent minds make their homes in this twin city. But the invention of Hextech, a method by which everyone can control magical energy, threatens that balance. Arcane not only sheds light on the backstory of League of Legends champions, but is designed in such a way that it presents itself as a complex world filled with moral decisions, amazing animations, and exciting stories.

Christian Link, co-creator of Arcane:

“When we set out to produce Arcane, we knew we were getting to something very special in the story of Jinx and Vi. We wanted to investigate what you would do for your family, what values ​​you might compromise and the struggles you might endure. It would provide the story, along with the style of the drawn art. The handcrafted and meticulous character animations we developed in collaboration with SFortiche provide a comprehensive look at the world of League of Legends.”

Players will see some familiar faces in Arcane, such as Jinx, Vi, Jayce, and Caitlyn, and learn more about the events that made them the iconic heroes as we know them today. You’ll also meet some new faces like Vander and Silco, both natives of Zaun who play an important role in shaping the developing world.

Alex Ye, co-creator of Arcane:

“Mysterious is a story of duality. How the characters split into two halves of a city whose values ​​and potentials contrast but complement each other. Each has its own advantages and weaknesses. You may be the hero in your story, but the villain in someone else’s story.”

The heroes in Arcane are those that Riot Games players loved. They should feel very familiar, but there may be some differences as the heroes have been adapted to the format of the series. The series will explore the extremes that characters go to when family and traditions conflict with their principles and beliefs. Their personal struggles affect the world in ways they never expected and shape the future of the Twin Cities.
