Arcane sets Season 2 release date
MANILA, Philippines – The hit show Arcane, inspired by Riot Games’ League of Legends, has announced that its much-awaited Season 2 will be released in November 2024.
The animated series released last November 2021 tells the story of the rivalry between the rich city of Piltover and the seedy underbelly of Zaun, and brings characters Vi, Jinx, Jayce and Caitlyn from the gaming world to the TV universe.
At the release of Arcane, Riot Games pulled out all the stops to celebrate the launch of its first foray into an animated series, with the game developer collaborating with other popular titles like PUBG Mobile and Fortnite to celebrate Arcane’s release.
According to Riot, this drive to give fans the best experience of their titles is the company’s focus: putting players’ first.
“At its core, Riot Games is the most player focused company in the world. This commitment isn't just a mission statement. It's a philosophy that drives everything that we do. As we pursue this mission, as we abide by this philosophy, we've seen how this player-centric approach shapes not only the games but in our engagement with the community and the impact in the broader culture. We listen to players' feedback, constantly engage with the community and we remain open and transparent with our players.” said Riot Games Philippines’ country manager Joel Guzman.
As Guzman describes it, gaming has evolved in the past few years, and gamers are not just interested in what they play, but how they could relate to the shows they watch, the music they listen to, or to the clothes they wear.
He adds, “Gaming has become so much more in the past few years. Gaming, once seen as a pastime for a niche group of people, has transformed into a global phenomenon. It's no longer confined to the world of screens; it's no longer confined to the world of consoles. It already has permeated our daily lives. Gamers don't just game. They watch shows, listen to music, go to concerts, admire clothes, etc. This broad spectrum of interest reflects the depth of engagement that Riot Games has cultivated.”
Riot has seen some groundbreaking collaborations in the past few years, collaborating with fashion brand Louis Vuitton
