Riot Games has decided to delay the Arcane animated series until 2021 due to the prevailing coronavirus epidemic. According to the trailer shown at the League of Legends 10th anniversary celebration , its premiere was initially scheduled “sometime in 2020”. As we can see, unfortunately we will have to wait a little longer. In a statement released by Riot, Greg “Ghostcrawler” Street – the project’s developer, says everyone is saddened by the decision, but despite their excitement, it had to be made for security reasons
Street goes on to talk about the production problems of the current situation. He points out that swapping personal contacts for video calls is a bit of a blockage during development, and along with technical problems, it influenced the decision to change the release date.
