Arcane (titled onscreen as Arcane: League of Legends) is an action-adventure streaming television series created by Christian Linke and Alex Yee for Riot Games. Produced by Fortiche and distributed by Netflix, it is set in Riot's League of Legends fictional universe,[1][2] and primarily focuses on sisters Vi and Jinx. The series was announced at the League of Legends 10th anniversary celebration in 2019,[3] and first released in November 2021.

Arcane's first season was released to critical acclaim, with praise directed at its animation, story, worldbuilding, action sequences, characters, emotional weight, music and voice acting.[4][5] Some have noted the series' appeal both to casual viewers who have never played League of Legends and to long-time fans of the game.[6][7][8] It also set the record as Netflix's highest-rated series so far within a week of its premiere, ranked first on the Netflix Top 10 Chart in 52 countries, and ranked second on the chart in the United States.[9][10][11]

On November 20, 2021, following the conclusion of Arcane's first season, Riot Games and Netflix announced that a second season was in production for a post-2022 release.[12][13]

Premise

Amidst the escalating unrest between the rich, utopian city of Piltover and the seedy, oppressed undercity of Zaun, sisters Vi and Jinx find themselves on opposing sides of a brewing war over clashing convictions and arcane technologies.[14]

11"Welcome to the Playground"Christian Linke & Alex YeeNovember 6, 2021 (2021-11-06)
Rebels from the repressed undercity of Zaun march across a bridge into Piltover, resulting in the brutal pushback by Piltover enforcers. During the ensuing violence, sisters Powder and Vi find their parents dead in the rubble and are taken in by Vander, the leader of the failed rebellion, as his own children. Years later, Vi and Powder rob a Piltovan penthouse with their adopted brothers, Mylo and Claggor, after receiving a tip from their friend Ekko. Powder steals a set of magical crystals, accidentally shattering one when the owner of the penthouse returns. The resulting explosion destroys a large portion of the building and alerts enforcers to their presence, whom they narrowly escape. Returning to the undercity, the siblings encounter Deckard and his thugs; while they beat them in a fistfight, Powder is chased and loses the loot. Vander, now a barman and a de facto community leader in Zaun, scolds the children for their carelessness, and attempts to smooth things over with Grayson, the Sheriff of the enforcers. Vi berates Mylo for calling Powder a "jinx" and reassures her sister that things will get better. In the lowest parts of the undercity, crime lord Silco extracts information from Deckard and tests a new mutagen known as Shimmer on a rat.
22"Some Mysteries Are Better Left Unsolved"Nick LuddingtonNovember 6, 2021 (2021-11-06)
The crystals that Powder and Vi stole turn out to be crafted by Jayce, a student at Piltover's academy, and Piltover's ruling council calls him to testify for illegally experimenting with arcane magic. Jayce was saved by arcane magic as a child and believes it can be a new resource for Piltover's evolution, but the academy expells him for endangering the city, and his research is expected to be trashed. His beliefs are renewed, however, when Viktor, the disabled assistant of the academy's professor Heimerdinger, offers to help him. Back in Zaun, Grayson and her partner Marcus pressure Vander to reveal the true culprits of the robbery, while Zaun citizens pressure him to fight back against the enforcers overreaching their boundaries. He chooses to keep his family safe and remain neutral. Vi disagrees and decides to turn herself in. Meanwhile, Silco coerces Deckard to swallow a potion of Shimmer.
33"The Base Violence Necessary for Change"Ash BrannonNovember 6, 2021 (2021-11-06)
Years ago, Silco and Vander were partners who fought together to free the undercity from Piltover. This changed when Vander betrayed Silco and tried to drown him in Zaun's toxic river. In the present day, Vander stops Vi from turning herself in. He is then taken hostage by Silco after the mutated Deckard kills Grayson and her men, sparing only Marcus. Vi, Mylo, and Claggor go rescue him, leaving Powder and Ekko behind for their own safety. In Piltover, Jayce and Viktor secretly work with the crystals under the discretion of councilor Mel Medarda and invent Hextech, a new arcane technology. Back in the undercity, the siblings reach Vander but are cut off by Silco. Vi fights off Silco's thugs, but is badly beaten by Deckard. Powder, attempting to save her, detonates one of the crystals in a massive explosion that kills Claggor and Mylo. Vander, fatally wounded by Silco, injects himself with Shimmer, kills Deckard and saves Vi before dying. In her grief, Vi hits Powder, angrily calling her a "jinx" before walking away. She sees Silco approach and attempts to return to her sister but is ambushed and captured by Marcus. A grief-stricken Powder, believing Vi has abandoned her, breaks down in Silco's arms; he embraces Powder and tells her that "We'll show them all."

41"Happy Progress Day!"David DunneNovember 13, 2021 (2021-11-13)
Several years later, Piltover is prospering with Jayce's Hextech technology and celebrates its 200th anniversary on a holiday called 'Progress Day'. Jayce initially hopes to reveal his and Viktor's latest gemstone device at the ceremony, but decides not to after Heimerdinger warns him on the dangers it could possess. Elsewhere, Powder, now a teenager going by the name of Jinx, works for Silco and helps him smuggle materials, mainly Shimmer, into Piltover. When a job goes awry thanks to the involvement of an undercity gang known as the Firelights and a brief hallucination of Vi, Jinx attempts to impress Silco by stealing Jayce's gemstone and setting off an explosion that kills six enforcers. Piltover's ruling council gives Jayce a seat to protect their people from the stolen gemstone. Caitlyn, an inexperienced enforcer and Jayce's childhood friend, travels to Stillwater prison to gather information about Jinx from one of Silco's goons. Instead, she encounters an adult Vi, having been imprisoned by Marcus.
52"Everybody Wants to Be My Enemy"Amanda OvertonNovember 13, 2021 (2021-11-13)
Due to Vi's expertise of Zaun and her knowledge of Jinx's explosives, Caitlyn releases her from prison and works with her to find Silco. Arriving in an underground brothel, they quickly learn of Jinx's relationship with Silco. Vi tries to interrogate Silco's second-in-command, Sevika, but is stabbed in the ensuing fight. Meanwhile, it is revealed that, with Silco's help, Marcus was promoted to sheriff of the enforcers. In exchange, he has to allow Shimmer to be smuggled and put the blame of the Progress Day bombing and robbery on the Firelights. Jinx refuses to work on the new Hextech gemstones because of the trauma of killing her family with a similar device. In response, Silco takes her to the river where Vander tried to drown him and convinces Powder to accept her new identity as Jinx. Back in Piltover, Jayce starts a romantic relationship with councillor Medarda. Meanwhile, Viktor's illness worsens and he grows increasingly desperate to find a cure through Hextech technology.
63"When These Walls Come Tumbling Down"Alex YeeNovember 13, 2021 (2021-11-13)
After Viktor collapses in the lab from his illness, he and Jayce begin to study the "Hexcore", a new Hextech machine that reacts to organic matter and has the potential to cure it. Heimerdinger tries to have it destroyed due to its danger, prompting Jayce to orchestrate his removal from the council. Viktor approaches Singed, his childhood mentor, to help perfect the Hexcore. Marcus is ordered by Silco to kill Caitlyn and Vi and, knowing this conflict will lead to a battle with Zaun, prepares Piltover's defenses. Vi and Caitlyn find a safehouse in the depths of Zaun so Vi can recover from her fight with Sevika, but Silco finds them after bribing the local addicts with Shimmer. The pair manages to escape. Having recently learned about Vi's return, Jinx lights up a flare Vi gave her before their ill-fated mission to rescue Vander years ago. Vi spots it and the two sisters reunite. However, Caitlyn's presence triggers Jinx's mistrust. The Firelights appear, steal the gemstone, and kidnap Caitlyn and Vi.

71"The Boy Saviour"Nick LuddingtonNovember 20, 2021 (2021-11-20)
The leader of the Firelights turns out to be Ekko, now a gruff and battle-hardened warrior. He explains to Vi that the "Powder" she knew is gone and is now Jinx. Silco took over the underground after Vander's death and made the populace dependent on Shimmer. Under Ekko, the Firelights have been leading efforts to thwart Silco and rehabilitate addicts. Jinx gets angry at Silco for hiding Vi's return from her, but he persuades her into continuing to do his will. Following the growing unrest between the two cities, Mel convinces Jayce to work on Hextech weaponry. At Singed's suggestions, Viktor uses Shimmer to enable the Hexcore to modify his failing body, in the process growing distant from an untrustworthy Jayce. Ekko and Caitlyn seek to return the gemstone to Piltover, meeting with Marcus at a blockade. Vi returns to look for Jinx. After Marcus betrays Caitlyn, Vi heads back to help her. An onlooking Jinx takes this as Vi's preference for Caitlyn over her, and detonates a swarm of robotic insects on the bridge. The resulting explosion kills Marcus and his enforcers and wounds Caitlyn. Ekko and Jinx face off as Caitlyn and Vi retreat to Piltover; he beats her but finds himself unable to deliver the final blow, allowing Jinx to detonate a grenade near them.
82"Oil and Water"Ben St. John & Mollie St. JohnNovember 20, 2021 (2021-11-20)
Silco finds a heavily injured Jinx in the aftermath of the explosion and discovers that she managed to steal back the Hextech gemstone. He takes her to Singed to heal her wounds. As Jinx endures Singed's treatment, she hallucinates that it is Vi and Caitlyn inflicting the pain. He injects a massive amount of Shimmer into her body and her eyes turn violet. Meanwhile, Mel's mother arrives in Piltover following the assassination of Mel's brother and attempts to prepare her for the brewing war with Zaun. The ex-councilor Heimerdinger visits Zaun to help the locals and encounters Ekko, who broke his leg escaping from Jinx's grenade. Meanwhile, Viktor's efforts to heal his body through the Hexcore succeed; his leg is healed and he is able to run for the first time. However, further experimentation with the Hexcore results in the death of his childhood friend and assistant Sky. After her testimony to the council fails to convince them that Silco is a threat, Vi abandons Caitlyn and partners with Jayce to take down Silco's Shimmer factories. Armed with Hextech weaponry, they defeat an army of Shimmer-enhanced soldiers. However, Jayce accidentally kills a child worker. Caitlyn, having returned home, is kidnapped by Jinx.
93"The Monster You Created"Christian Linke & Alex YeeNovember 20, 2021 (2021-11-20)
The death of the child makes Jayce realize the potential cost of intra-city war and brokers a peace treaty with Silco, offering Zaun's independence in exchange for Jinx. Ekko reveals his hideout to Heimerdinger and they begin working to help the undercity together. Viktor's guilt over the death of Sky almost drives him to suicide, but Jayce intervenes. Understanding the danger that Hextech poses, he makes Jayce promise to destroy the Hexcore. Silco laments choosing between Zaun and Jinx to a statue of Vander; Jinx overhears him and assumes he is going to betray her. Vi defeats Sevika but is subsequently abducted by Jinx. She awakens restrained at a table with Silco and Caitlyn also tied up. Jinx gives Vi a pistol, telling her to choose between Caitlyn and herself. Vi refuses and appeals to her childhood memories, causing Jinx to suffer a traumatic attack. Silco breaks free and almost shoots Vi before Jinx, in a manic fit, guns him down. Silco reaffirms his love for her before dying in her arms. Jinx finally accepts her new identity and acknowledges that she and Vi have diverged. Jinx weaponizes the Hextech gemstone into a rocket launcher and fires at the Piltover council chamber right as it approves Jayce's proposal to grant Zaun its independence.

Production

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 joined the voice cast.[16]

Broadcast

Marketing

Riot Games promoted the launch of Arcane through events in their games, including League of Legends, Legends of Runeterra, Teamfight Tactics, League of Legends: Wild Rift, and Valorant as "RiotX Arcane".[17] It launched promotional collaborations with non-Riot games such as PUBG Mobile,[18] Fortnite, and Among Us.[19]

On November 6, 2021, for the global premiere, Riot Games streamed the first episode on Twitch. Some content creators were allowed to co-stream the first three episodes of the series once they received permission from Riot Games, a first for a Netflix series, which also allowed viewers to retrieve in-game drops during the premiere.[20] Drops were only included in the games League of Legends (Arcane Capsule), Wild Rift (“A Single Tear” Emote), Teamfight Tactics (Gizmos & Gadgets Little Legends Egg), Legends of Runeterra (“Fascinating” Emote), and Valorant ("Fishbones" Gun Buddy).[21] The premiere received 1.8 million concurrent viewers on Twitch.

On November 21, Netflix and Riot Games partnered with Secret Cinema to bring players directly into the world of Arcane with an in-person experience in Los Angeles, California. The experience was "equipped with bespoke backstories and missions, the line between actors and audience is truly blurred as players explore the dark and dangerous underworld and encounter its inhabitants—the strange, the sinister and sometimes even the friendly".[22]

Release

Originally set for a 2020 release, the show was rescheduled for a release in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[23] It was scheduled for a simultaneous November 6, 2021, release on Netflix and China's Tencent Video,[24] with the series broken into nine episodes, with three episode "acts" being released once a week over three weeks.[25][26]

Soundtrack

On November 20, 2021, songs from the first season were released on Amazon Music.[27] The series had a different opening theme in China — "孤勇者 (Gu Yong Zhe)" performed by Eason Chan.

Reception

Critical reception

The voice performances of Hailee Steinfeld (top) and Ella Purnell (bottom), who respectively played Vi and Jinx, received praise.

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 100% approval rating with an average rating of 9.10/10, based on 26 reviews. The site's critical consensus reads, "Arcane makes an arresting first impression, combining a spectacular mix of 2D and 3D animation with an emotionally compelling story to deliver a video game adaptation that could become legendary."[5] The series also became Netflix's number-one program in November 2021,[29] setting the record as Netflix's highest-rated series so far within a week of its premiere, ranked first on the Netflix Top 10 Chart in 52 countries, and ranked second on the chart in the United States.[9]

Writing for IGN, Rafael Motamayor called Arcane's first season a "classic in the making, and the nail in the coffin of the so-called video game curse." He noted that the show worked for fans of League of Legends and newcomers, saying that "the character stories are what keep you engaged episode after episode; the lore is just icing on the cake." He also praised the voice cast, highlighting the performances of Leung, Purnell, Aghdashloo and Steinfeld, calling the latter performance the show's standout. Praising the animation, Motamayor called it the "most stunning piece of animation since Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" and compared it to Invincible in terms of episode structure. He concluded by saying that Arcane "delivers a killing blow to the idea that video games cannot be masterfully adapted... with compelling characters, an endearing story, and fascinating lore and worldbuilding, as well as striking visuals" calling it a "masterpiece" and giving it a 10 out of 10 rating.[30]

Andrew Webster of The Verge praised the "fantasy-meets-steampunk world" and how no knowledge of League was needed to understand the show. Despite calling Act 1 "a fairly typical fantasy tale" he lauded the animation, saying that "each frame looks like a gorgeous piece of hand-painted concept art; in motion, it's like nothing I've ever seen" and that "it's also a world that feels lived-in and fully realized."[31] Matt Cabral of Common Sense Media called the first season "visually stunning" and that it "features the sort of nuanced characterizations, thoughtful storytelling, and rich worldbuilding typically associated with big-budget, big-screen epics." He also took note of the blend of fantasy, steampunk and sci-fi with emphasis on how the story puts a "fresh spin on the heavily recycled premise." Cabral concluded that viewers didn't need to have played League to appreciate the show.[7]

Reviewing the first four episodes of the first season, Tara Bennett of Paste enjoyed the way that "[the creators] purposefully made an adult animated drama that unflinchingly utilizes violence, adult language, and very dark storylines when needed to make the lives of the large ensemble cast resonate." Bennett favorably compared the series to Game of Thrones, Shadow and Bone, Castlevania and BioShock. She was also positive about the "nuance and subtle facial movements" of Fortiche's animation combined with the performances from Steinfeld, Jenness, Purnell and Spisak. Bennett called "Enemy" by Imagine Dragons "infectious" and that the show is "the new benchmark for what can be done when it comes to successfully translating worthy videogame universes into a different medium."[6]

Forbes noted that the show balances "being welcoming to newcomers who know absolutely nothing about the world of League of Legends, while also satisfying longtime League fans."[8]
