We’ve known for some time that Netflix and Riot Games are working on spin-offs of the animated adaptation of League of Legends Arcanewhich concluded last weekend after a two-season run of 18 episodes.
We now know that the creative team behind the series is working on developing three spin-offs set in various known locations in the League of Legends universe.
Showrunner Christian Linke revealed that Noxus, Ionia, and Demacia are the “next steps towards this cinematic universe.”
During an interview with Twitch streamer Necrit94, Linke confirmed: “We are investing a lot in Noxus, Ionia, Demacia […] Let’s start, really, with the characters’ stories. But I’m very confident that we’re investing in the right stories […] We have a lot of data, we know which characters our audience likes and which they play a lot.
While no details were provided about the characters these projects will focus on, Linke noted that they have “a lot of fandom, a lot of interest.” He also said that these featured champions were not chosen specifically for their win rate in the game, but for how much players like them according to lore.
Arcane’s future projects would be limited to these three locations, although as Linke specifically noted, “we are looking at each region.” He also said that the next series “has already been in development for about a year.”
As a fan of Arcane, I can’t wait to see what stories the creative teams tell next!
During a previous interview, Linke explained that the spin-offs will all be very different from each other. He said: “We are working on a number of new fallout projects. We want to tell more stories in different regions, for different characters.
“And those will be very, very different from each other. Some of them will be more whimsical, others more serious and dark. Arcane is just the first step in a much, much bigger narrative dream.”
He continued, “Personally, I think in terms of storytelling we haven’t done enough with the quirky angle of our IP. And I definitely have goals to do something bigger there.
“Again, there are a lot of projects we are exploring but on a personal level we haven’t done enough for our audience in that particular key. I’m very excited to do more there.”
Are you excited about the future of this franchise?
