New League of Legends series (continuation of Arcane)
A new League of Legends cinematic from Arcane animation studio Fortiche sets up the story to come in the games first season of 2025, and serves in many ways as a continuation of some of the plot threads from the critically acclaimed Netflix show. League of Legends first season of 2025 is set to begin January 9 and will be all about Noxus, one of the major political empires in the world of Runeterra and one that became a bigger part of Arcane season 2s story. The cinematic shows several different stories unfolding, as familiar League of Legends characters like Katarina looks to assassinate a target and is stopped by Elise, Noxus general Darius confronts the ice troll Trundle, and Arcanes Mel--who is not yet a playable champion in Riots MOBA--looks to make her return to Noxus. Mel is currently playable in Teamfight Tactics, and is heavily rumored to be added to League of Legends proper as part of 2025 Season 1, Welcome to Noxus.
As is the case with Arcane, Fortiche brings the world of League of Legends to life in stunning fashion, with an absurd attention to detail and a slightly stylized look that gives each character more life and personality than theyve ever had before.
Its at the end of the cinematic that Arcane fans get some of the biggest connections to Fortiches show. Vladimir and LeBlanc, members of the Black Rose shadow organization that played a large role in Arcane season 2s story, discuss taking advantage of the opportunity that has washed up our shores presumably in regards to Mel. LeBlanc even directly references the events of Arcane when she says Piltover was a lesson. She then tells Vladimir that the Black Roses next move must be bolder, not safer.
As for the future of Arcane, the shows creators said the plan was for it to always last two seasons and that there wont be a Season 3. However, Arcane co-creator Christian Linke also said spin-off shows revolving around Arcane characters and regions like Noxus, Demacia, and Ionia, are all in the works. Riot co-founder Marc Merrill later clarified that Linke meant the three regions would each be explored but wouldnt necessarily have their own show, though he also said Riot was, in fact, exploring a bunch of different shows (and games).
