Announced on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of League of Legends, the release date of the animated series Arcane is finally revealed.
The Arcane animated series will debut on Netflix with three episodes starting November 7 at 3 a.m., just hours after the final of the eSport LoL World Championship, or more commonly known as Worlds, competition from Riot Games famous MOBA.
Three more will be available a week later, on November 13, 2021, and the final three on November 20, 2021. This one will stage the precarious balance between the rich city of Piltover and the lowlands of the district of Zaun, two places known in the world of Runeterra as lands of progress and which shelter the brightest spirits.

The creation of Hextech, a device that allows anybody to control magical energy, has thrown the balance off. It is in this tense atmosphere that two sisters with a complex past – Jinx and Vi – will see their respective values and beliefs deeply questioned, in a way as unexpected as it is crucial for the destiny of the world of Runeterra and its two citadels.
“When we started producing Arcane, we were deeply convinced that the story of Jinx and Vi was very special, even unique,” says creative director Christian Linke. “We wanted to make Arcane a reflection of the deep moral questions that each of us faces one day.
What are we ready for our family?
Are we ready to question our values for the happiness of our loved ones and face the internal conflicts that result from it? The plot, paired with the hand-painted inspired art direction and beautiful character animation we created in collaboration with Fortiche, will provide all viewers with a fascinating insight into the League of Legends universe.“. Creative designer Alex Yee adds: “Arcane is a layer of duality, in which the role is finally torn between the two halves of the city. Each city provides value and opportunity. At first glance, it seems completely opposite, but the results are complementary. Everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages. You can be the hero of your own floor, or you can be the opponent of others.”
