Riot Games launches RiotX Arcane event with new in-game features

Riot Games announced the RiotX Arcane event, a month-long experience that will bring all of its products together to celebrate the launch of Riot’s first animated series, Arcane League of Legends.

In the RiotX Arcane event, players and fans will see in-person and digital cross-media events that evolve with each act of the show throughout the month, along with in-game activations across all of Riot’s titles.

The event begins November 1, leading into a Super Weekend of events that feature the League of Legends World Championship and Arcane Premiere.

Watch the trailer below.

The month-long celebration will start with the League of Legends World Championship, which has debuted some of Riot’s most popular music and entertainment experiences. This year’s World Championship Show Open Presented by Mastercard will feature Grammy Award-winning artists Imagine Dragons alongside PVRIS, Bea Miller, JID, and Denzel Curry, who will take players and fans on an Arcane-themed journey through Piltover and Zaun, the dual-city setting for Arcane.
