League of Legends is a highly popular game around the world. We can see cosplays, real-life products and online items of League of Legends. The newest side product of League of Legends is Arcane TV show. Arcane is an American-French production based on the popular League of Legends game. The animation is released on 6 November 2021. The series is released on Netflix and it is among the top 10 series for the last few weeks.
1. The Animation Series Was Announced During 10th League of Legends Anniversary
League of Legends also known as LoL is a highly popular role-plying game. The universe of the game offers various adventures to the players. This is why everything related to this game attracts huge attention. During the 10th anniversary of League of Legends, the production of the animation series was announced.
2. League of Legends Has More Than 600 million Players
League of Legends has millions of players around the world. It is an old game where players fight in battles with different characters. When the global audience of League of Legends is considered, we are talking about 600 million players. So, this means 600 million people might be interested in the new Arcane series. Compared to other adaptations, Arcana has a huge potential in terms of audience. The potential to attract this much people is another reason to create such a series.
3. Story of Sisters
There are different characters in the League of Legends universe. Naturally, focusing on all of these characters is a bit challenging for an animation series. Also, Arcane is the spin-off of the famous League of Legends. This is why we cannot expect all of the characters to be in the TV show. For the first season, we have the story of two sisters. These two sisters are called Vi and Jinx. The two sisters are separated and the plot is built around these two characters.
4. No Need to Know The Characters
If you want to watch Arcane, you don’t need to know the characters. This is like any other animated series which you do not have to have a background information about the characters. Arcane builds the characters and the plot independent from League of Legends game. But if you are familiar with League of Legends, the show will be more interesting for you. You can enjoy your favorite characters and images throughout the show.
5. Released As Chapters
In recent years, we are used to release of all episodes of a season at once. Before that, we used to wait every week for the new episodes. But Arcane follows an entirely different method to release its episodes. We can call this system a type of hybrid system. The animated series has total of 9 episodes in the first season. Each of these 9 episodes are divided into chapters. The chapters are released in groups of three and the entire series is released in 3 weeks. This makes things a bit more excited.
