Fortiche Productions, the animation studio behind Arcane: League of Legends, is receiving some extra financial backing from Riot Games.
On Monday, Riot Games announced its intentions to increase support for Fortiche Productions after years of collaborating on various League of Legends shorts and Arcane.
“Fortiche has been an integral partner for a long time, but this agreement ensures we’ll be working closely for decades to come,” Nicolo Laurent, CEO of Riot Games, said in a press release. “We hold a high bar for everyone we work with and insist they understand players deeply and focus on them relentlessly, and from day one, Fortiche has exemplified Player Experience First.”
We're proud to announce that we've invested in Fortiche Production, the incredible animation studio that brought a spectrum of talent ranging from @arcaneshow to moments like "Get Jinxed"! https://t.co/VVhjTxmftY pic.twitter.com/tjQoSI87a0

“The various collaborations with Riot Games, and especially Arcane, have made Fortiche Production a new major player on the international animation scene,” Fortiche Productions co-founders said. “Riot Games, by trusting us, has given us the means to achieve our common ambitions and has shown that it is possible to offer new content that can reach a large audience.”
Arcane: League of Legends came out last fall, and since went on to win nine trophies at the Annie Awards. A second season is already in the works too.
