UPDATE 5.45pm UK: Arcane may be ending with its second season, but Riot Games is planning more projects with the show’s talented animation studio Fortiche, the developer has now said.
“Arcane is just the beginning of our larger storytelling journey and our partnership with the wonderful animation studio that is Fortiche,” co-creator Christian Linke said in a new developer update video. “From the very beginning, since we started working on this project, we had a very specific ending in mind, which means the story of Arcane wraps up with the second season.
“But Arcane is just the first of many stories we want to tell in Runeterra. We’ve been with Riot through Vi and Jinx’s entire journey thus far, from becoming in-game champions to characters featured in different cinematics to main characters in a TV show. Their arcs have grown so far beyond our original dreams, and we want to give the same treatment to more champions.
