After the success of Squid Game, the online movie platform Netflix recently recorded a new craze called Arcane – an animated film inspired by the League of Legends universe.
Riot tried to cooperate with Hollywood but failed
Initially, when having the idea of making the Arcane series, Riot Games also planned to cooperate with Hollywood to co-produce.
Accordingly, both Brandon Beck and Marc Merrill – the co-founders of Riot – felt it would be very risky to put this project in the hands of people who do not really understand and care about the League of Legends community.
The reason that the two cities Piltover and Zaun were chosen appeared
In the League of Legends universe, there are more than a dozen areas, plots of land and many hidden ancient cities.
Accordingly, Piltover is a prosperous city located on top of a cliff famous for its technological innovation every day.
Why don’t more League of Legends champions appear?
Arcane has brought viewers some familiar faces in the League of Legends universe, but with a number of more than 150 characters, it is difficult to balance and exploit the characters effectively.
`We want to add more champions to Arcane, as many as possible, but you know, this will only reduce the quality of the movie` – explanation from Riot Games.
Harry Potter, Dare Devil, Lord of The Ring are the movies that inspired Arcane
You cannot create a work without reference.
In addition, Game of Thrones as well as Lord of the Ring – classic fantasy works are also said to have become references during the production of Arcane.
