“Arcane was created as a love letter to our players and fans, who have been asking us for more cinematic experiences that dive deeper into the worlds and champions in League of Legends. Netflix, with its incredible global brand and shared goal of delivering premium, high quality content, is the perfect partner to help us bring Arcane to players around the globe,” said Shauna Spenley, Global President of Entertainment at Riot Games.

Furthermore, Riot Games has garnered over 14 billion views on its videos globally, and its League of Legends 2020 World Championship esports competition marked record-breaking viewership across multiple metrics. In fact, a total of beyond one billion hours of content was consumed globally, increasing League’s position as the most-watched esport, with the final match reaching a 23.04 million Average Minute Audience (AMA) and 45 million Peak Concurrent Users (PCU).

There’s no exact date yet for its premiere, but Netflix revealed it to come worldwide this “Fall.” Stay tuned to our page for more updates.
