RiotX Arcane is a cross-media event for the upcoming ‘League of Legends’ Netflix show

Netflix’s League of Legends show is on the way, and Riot is celebrating.

Riot Games is launching RiotX Arcane, a new event to celebrate the upcoming Arcane League of Legends  show from Netflix. 

The RiotX Arcane tie-in will begin on Nov. 6, the same day as Worlds 2021, and run throughout the month across Riot’s titles. Yes, all of them. From (of course) the seminal League of Legends  to the steadily-rising esports attraction that is Valorant, Riot is keen on making Arcane  a smash-hit on Netflix. Especially after some choice words from Nicolo Laurent, CEO of Riot Games.

“With every new step we take, from launching new games to expanding our esports, we’ve always remained focused on bringing players exciting, resonant content that is authentic to the core League of Legends experience,” Laurent said in a press release. “Today, there are more players enjoying our games worldwide than ever before, validating our confidence in the League of Legends IP as we begin a new era with the launch of Arcane.”

Streamers on Twitch will even be able to co-broadcast the show as it goes live on Netflix on Nov. 6, which is a bit odd, but cool to see that Riot is fully-embracing its livestreaming roots for the show’s premiere.

Riot isn’t bluffing when they state all of its games are getting an Arcane tie-in, by the way. Let’s take a look at some of what’s to come, shall we?

League of Legends will get Arcane-themed champion skins for Jayce, Vi, Caitlyn, and Jinx. There will also be elemental drakes, items and runes for the 2022 pre-season update, along with map accents on Summoner’s Rift. Caitlyn champion art and sustainability updates, too.

League of Legends: Wild Rift will receive a meaty update containing the Arcane Experience in-game event and champion skins for Jinx and Vi. Jayce and Caitlyn will also finally debut at long last during the Hextech Heist event.

Legends of Runeterra is getting a new PvE mode called the Path of Champions, Jayce as a new playable hero, and thematic support cards for Piltover and Zaun. Oh, and a Mega event pass!

Teamfight Tactics is keeping its Gizmos & Gadgets hype-train going with a new game mode and some more Arcane-themed tacticians and some Chibi Champions.

Valorant isn’t in the same universe as the rest, but it’s getting a RiotX Arcane Pass full of collectible items and sets. The new agent Chamber is launching as well. 

So yeah, that’s a lot of stuff! It seems Riot wants Arcane  to be a Witcher-sized hit on Netflix. Considering over 180 million people played Runeterra-adjacent games alone last month, that’s not an out-of-the-question asperation.
