Since its official debut in early November 2021, after the end of Worlds 2021, the Arcane series has become one of the most popular movie products at the end of 2021. Not only the first work. Opening Riot’s own cinematic universe, based on the storylines in League of Legends, Arcane also attracted the attention of “pagan” people and contributed to increasing the number of people interested in the national MOBA game.
The Arcane series is Riot’s first movie and has received a lot of positive feedback
Arcane’s attraction is irresistible and even famous characters of Hollywood – the world’s movie capital are “hard fans” of the film. Typically, actor Henry Cavill plays Geralt in The Witcher series and is also the new Superman of the big screen. After being introduced to Arcane, the actor “rehearsed” the entire series and even re-introduced it to others.

With those successes, of course Riot will continue to exploit stories based on the realm of Runeterra. And Arcane part 2 has also been revealed by this same publisher to be in the process of making fans eagerly look forward to. In addition, Riot also said that season 2 is still based on the story surrounding the war between Zaun and Piltover as well as the fate of the main and secondary characters in the previous season.
But recently, the CEO of Riot said a news that made Arcane fans in particular and the League of Legends community looking forward to part 2 of this series in general. Specifically, he said that part 2 will not make the audience wait for 6 years (part 1 was conceived and implemented by Riot for about 6 years). But the bad news is that season 2 will not be released in time this 2022.

This could be bad news for fans of this movie series. However, with the world epidemic still evolving complicatedly with new strains appearing, the slow progress is understandable. Not to mention, Riot itself certainly does not want its reputation of “making better movies than making games” to be affected if it is not done properly and is condemned by the audience as it has been for its League of Legends game.
