Riot Games, the developer and publisher of the popular multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game League of Legends (LoL), has announced the release dates for Arcane Season 2 and a new VALORANT movie.
Arcane Season 2 will premiere on Netflix on November 13, 2023. The animated series is set in the world of Runeterra, the fictional universe of LoL, and tells the story of two sisters, Vi and Jinx, who grew up in the undercity of Piltover and became enemies. Arcane Season 1 was a critical and commercial success, and won nine Annie Awards, including Outstanding Achievement in Animated Television/Broadcast Production.
The new VALORANT movie is called "Canto" and will be released in 2024. The movie is set in the world of VALORANT, a first-person shooter game where players take on the role of agents with unique abilities. Canto will tell the story of a group of agents who are tasked with stopping a terrorist attack.
In addition to the release dates for Arcane Season 2 and the VALORANT movie, Riot Games also announced that it is working on a number of other projects, including a live-action TV series based on LoL, a fighting game, and a card game.
The announcement of these new projects is a sign of Riot Games' commitment to expanding its media franchise beyond the world of video games. The company has already had success with Arcane, which has become one of the most popular animated series on Netflix. With these new projects, Riot Games is hoping to further capitalize on the popularity of its games and create new experiences for fans around the world.
Arcane Season 2: What to Expect
Arcane Season 1 ended with a major cliffhanger, with Vi and Jinx facing off against each other in the streets of Piltover. The second season is expected to pick up where the first season left off and explore the fallout from this confrontation.

VALORANT Movie: What to Expect
The VALORANT movie is still in early development, so details are scarce. However, the movie is expected to tell a standalone story that is set in the world of VALORANT. The movie is also expected to feature a number of popular agents from the game, such as Jett, Phoenix, and Sage.
The VALORANT movie is being directed by Joe Russo and Anthony Russo, the directors of the Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame movies. The Russo brothers are known for their action-packed and visually stunning films, so fans can expect the VALORANT movie to be a must-see for fans of the game.
