Yes, Arcane is now over, but there's still a lot of work to be done for Riot and Fortiche on future shows set in the League of Legends universe.
We've long known that Arcane would end after its second season, but that also came with the promise that developer Riot and animation studio Fortiche planned to expand its universe with more projects. What those projects might be is still anyone's guess, but in a recent interview with Polygon, Arcane showrunner and co-creator Christian Linke said that the developer and animation studio have been discussing where to go next. “We have over 160 heroes in the game. I want to know their stories,” Linke said.

“Fortunately, now is the time where we can also start thinking about this and dreaming big. So we're exploring a bunch of different projects, none of which are in production yet, but we're definitely building on all of these different tones They shouldn't feel like, well, they should have their own style, their own tone, so that's our next step.” But it wasn't just the new story that attracted Link, the showrunner was also interested in it. Be interested in exploring different tones and genres.
“We haven't done enough with the whimsical tone of League of Legends; Arcane is pretty dark. But there are a lot of fun characters. There's Rurus, Deimos, Amumus, Poppy, Tristan. We're excited for those What do people do? I think I will definitely want to take something. [in a new show] Go to extremes, just like different genres. What should we do? What are we doing with something more abstract and artistic? This is the true power of animation. You are not grounded in reality. So we should take advantage of this. ”
Arcane has been in development for a long time, and even Season 2 took three years after Season 1 to come out, so any other show might be a few years away, but there's a lot for all League of Legends fans out there Something to look forward to at least.
