Arcane is an upcoming animated streaming television “event series” which is set in the League of Legends universe, announced at the League of Legends 10th anniversary celebrations and today it has launched its official music video.
Here is the official music video:
The song is Enemy by Imagine Dragons and JID. A lot of League of Legends songs are by Imagine Dragons. It is developed and produced by Riot Games, with animation services by Fortiche Productions. Originally set for a 2020 release, the show is rescheduled for a release in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now with the launch of the music video it is announced that the game is scheduled for 6 November 2021 release on Netflix and China’s Tencent Video website, with the series broken into three episode “acts” released over three weeks.
The storyline is set in the past, it retells the origin stories of several characters from Piltover and Zaun. Like the game which it is based on, Arcane is aimed at a “14+” audience and will deal with some more adult subject matter. Set in utopian Piltover and the oppressed underground of Zaun, the story follows the origins of two iconic League champions-and the power that will tear them apart.
In September 2021, it was announced that Hailee Steinfeld, Ella Purnell, Kevin Alejandro, Katie Leung, Jason Spisak, Toks Olagundoye, JB Blanc and Harry Lloyd had been joined the voice casts.
