Cool Teaser Trailer For Netflix's LEAGUE OF LEGENDS Animated Series ARCANE
Netflix has released the first trailer for its upcoming animated series adaptation of the hit video game franchise League of Legends. It looks like it’s gonna be a pretty wild show! The series is titled Arcane, and it’s set in the utopian region of Piltover and the oppressed underground of Zaun.
The story follows the “origins of two iconic League champions-and the power that will tear them apart.” The trailer features characters such as Vi and Jinx and it looks like it’s going to be filled with lots of cool action! While it doesn’t show a ton of footage, it looks like it could be a great show! Producers of the show are also looking to explore more mature themes with the series.
Greg Street, head of creative development at Riot previously said, "It’s not a light-hearted show. There are some serious themes that we explore there, so we wouldn’t want kids tuning in and expecting something that it’s not."
Co-creator Brandon Beck added, "Arcane is one of these big, exciting endeavors for us. Originally, League started off with a bunch of characters and we threw them together really quickly. Over time, players became really attached to the characters and we wanted to build more of a universe around them. We have been, over the last few years, experimenting with what can longer-form epic storytelling look like. Animation felt like a natural way for us to deliver a fantastical world.”
The goal of Arcane is to expand the League of Legends universe and play with the characters that fans have come to love over the years.
Arcane will debut on Netflix in fall 2021.
