The Rise of Arcane — How League of Legends Took Over Netflix

Arcane is taking over the world. Riot Games’ debut animated League of Legends series has become a smash hit with both League fans and general audiences alike. It’s maintained a 100% average on Rotten Tomatoes and received near perfect scores from most online reviewers. The show has been heralded as a masterpiece, and the future of animation and CG, but this didn't happen overnight. Arcane is the result of more than a decade of Riot Games animations. So how did a company that originally made a single game, which looked to be average at best, produce arguably the best video game screen adaption of all time? This is the Rise of Arcane.
