Netflix describes the series as follows:
From Riot Games, ARCANE returns this November on Netflix. The animated series, based on the League of Legends game, is created by Christian Linke and Alex Yee. Executive producers include Linke, Marc Merrill and Brandon Beck. The Animation Studio is Fortiche Animation. Voices include Hailee Steinfeld (Vi), Ella Purnell (Jinx) and Katie Leung (Caitlyn), Reed Shannon (Ekko), Amirah Vann (Sevika), Mick Wingert (Heimerdinger), and Ellen Thomas (Ambessa) among others to be announced.
Over the years, the game has received several spin-offs and adaptations, including the upcoming free-to-play fighting game, 2XKO. The game features 2v2 combat where each player controls a pair of characters from the game. It introduces a simplified control scheme with three attack buttons and easy-to-execute special moves, similar to Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising. The game tries to aim for accessibility while maintaining depth for competitive play.
Additionally, the character roster includes familiar faces like Ahri, Darius, Ekko, and Yasuo. Riot Games will likely announced more in the future. Behind Project L are notable figures from the fighting game community, including Tom and Tony Cannon, founders of the EVO championship series and pioneers of the rollback netcode, GGPO.
