Riot Games’ Arcane is one of the most successful animated series of recent years
2021 was an eventful year for the developers of League of Legends. Not only did they continue working on the game itself, but the company has also worked on many other projects, including the creation of some 3rd party LoL-related games and of course, Arcane.
The series matched the hype and expectations set by fans, as it continued to break all types of records even months after its release. Its main song “Enemy”, produced in collaboration with “old friends” Imagine Dragons (who already worked with Riot back in 2014 for the Worlds Championship song), went on being the most listened song in Spotify’s Global Rock Chart for three consecutive weeks.
Together with the song’s success, Arcane went on becoming the most-watched Netflix series in November 2021. The outcome was so extraordinary that fans were hoping for a sequel… and Riot Games was immediately there to satisfy them. While it won’t be out in 2022, Riot Games has already announced the second season of Arcane, as the series is already in production. If the first season was just the beginning, we can only expect great things from Riot Games in 2023.
