The critically acclaimed Netflix series Arcane, based on the popular game League of Legends, is set to grow its universe with an upcoming spin-off. Following the premiere of the highly anticipated ArcaneSeason 2 finale, co-creator Christian Linke confirmed that the series marks only the beginning of storytelling in the rich world of Runeterra.
Speaking during a Twitch stream, Linke teased exciting new directions for the franchise:
From the very beginning, we had a specific ending in mind for Arcane. But this is just the first of many stories we want to tell in Runeterra. Noxus, Ionia, and Demacia are getting shows and are the next steps into this cinematic universe.
The spin-offs aim to explore new regions and characters from the League of Legends universe, introducing fans to the politically charged Noxus, the mystical lands of Ionia, and the aristocratic rivalries of Demacia.
The Arcane finale saw Mel Medarda step into her Noxian roots, hinting at her return to House Medarda to reclaim her family legacy. Meanwhile, Vi and Caitlyn were given a happy ending, though their story remains open for further exploration.
In an earlier interview with ComicBook.com, Linke shared the creators’ vision for the series as a “finite” story, saying:
“We always had a story in mind with a beginning and an end. While we didn’t have a specific episode count planned, we knew it wasn’t an open-ended concept. The character arcs were the focus, and it felt organic from start to finish.”
While details about the spin-off remain under wraps, fans can look forward to diving deeper into the lore, characters, and drama of the Runeterra universe.
