Co-created by Riot employees Alex Yee and Christian Linke, getting Arcane to the world was not an easy feat. All in all, the journey took almost a decade. Between season 1 and season 2, the series went through a three-year gap to allow French studio Fortiche to not only complete the animations but really take them to the next level.

Arcane is based on the popular online game League of Legends, which was released by Riot Games in 2009. The Emmy Award-winning adaptation of the beloved game follows sisters Vi (voiced by Steinfeld) and Jinx (voiced by Purnell) as they find themselves on rival sides of a war between the utopian city Piltover and the undercity district Zaun.
