ARCANE Showrunner Teases Next LEAGUE OF LEGENDS Project and a Movie Could Also Happen
Arcane co-creator and showrunner Christian Linke has opened up a little bit more about the future of the League of Legends franchise. After Arcane came to an end, fans are excited and curious about what is coming next!
It was recently teased that there are three projects currently in development with Noxus, Ionia, and Demacia as the “next steps into this cinematic universe.” There is also a project set in Runeterra.
However, it was clarified that it is actually one project that is potentially focusing on three regions in the universe and not three separate shows.
During an interview with GamesRadar+ Linke has opened up a little more about the early creative stages of post-Arcane projects and a movie could also be in the cards.
He said: "Yeah, they take time. What I said [in the Twitch interview] was we're exploring these regions – Noxus, Ionia – and we always focus on characters, you know?
"When we think about stories we are exploring, it's always about a specific champion or specific character – which I can't name yet, because there are several."
It’s going to be awhile before we see another project released, though. Linke continued: "But, yeah, it takes time – depending on if it's a series or a movie. We're exploring both in many, many directions.
“A lot of it comes down to finding the right people, the right vision, the right idea, the right story. That'll take years and once we have confidence that something's happening, we'll talk more about it."
I can’t wait to see what Riot and Linke are cooking up next, but we’re just going to have to be patient.
