Did you know that the highly anticipated second season of Arcane is about to premiere on Netflix? It's hard to believe that it's already been three years since the animated show captured the hearts of both League of Legends fans and non-gamers alike. With its stunning animation and gripping storyline about two sisters torn apart by conflict, it's no wonder that Arcane was a surprise hit, even for critics.
But what many may not realize is that Arcane is actually based on the immensely popular free-to-play game, League of Legends. And with the new season just around the corner, now is the perfect time to dive into the world of League of Legends and discover the rich lore that inspired the show.
League of Legends, or LoL for short, is the world's most popular MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) game. In its most popular mode, Summoner's Rift, teams of five players battle it out in a top-down view, controlling unique characters with their own special abilities. With a staggering 169 champions to choose from, including the beloved Jinx and Vi, there's something for everyone.
But don't let the complexity of the game scare you away. While it may seem daunting at first, there are plenty of resources available to help new players get the hang of things. And with the mobile version, Wild Rift, making the game more accessible than ever, there's no better time to give it a try.
So how exactly are Arcane and League of Legends connected? Well, both take place in the fantasy world of Runeterra, a land filled with diverse regions and characters. While the show draws from the existing lore, it's important to note that League of Legends is not a story-driven game. It's a competitive, strategy-based experience that focuses more on gameplay than narrative.
However, for those craving a more story-focused experience, there are other titles set in the world of Runeterra, such as the card game Legends of Runeterra and the upcoming fighting game 2XKO. And for those who can't get enough of Jinx and Vi's story, there are even some short spin-offs that offer a deeper dive into their backgrounds.
But with Riot Games, the creators of League of Legends, planning to expand the world of Runeterra in the future, there's no telling what exciting new developments are in store for fans. One thing is for sure, Arcane has opened the door for even more possibilities in this rich and vibrant universe.
So whether you're a die-hard League of Legends fan or a newcomer looking for your next binge-worthy show, be sure to mark your calendars for November 9th and get ready for the next chapter in the captivating story of Arcane.
