We're days away from the release of Arcane and Riot just announced a huge event!
Riot X Arcane: Drops & Event
Riot have recently announced some exciting events planned around the release of their first show on Netflix: Arcane. Not only are they collaborating with games like Fortnite and PUBG Mobile, but they've released an entire website dedicated to this event. Unlike previous in-game events such as Spirit Blossom and The Ruination, players can explore the regions of Piltover and Zaun and earn rewards whilst doing so.
With all that being said, you're probably wondering: What can I get from this event as a LoL player? We've got your back.
LoL Worlds 2021 Recaps:
- Worlds: EDward Gaming Defeat Gen.G in 5-Game Series
- Worlds Quarterfinals: DWG KIA Defeat MAD Lions 3-0
- Worlds Quarterfinals: T1 Smash Hanwha Life Esports 3-0
How Long will this Event Last?
What Events are Planned for Riot x Arcane?
As previously mentioned in our Article on Arcane, the show will premiere on November 6th to coincide with the Worlds 2021 Finals between DAMWON KIA and EDward Gaming. The first 3 episodes will be available to watch upon release as they are all part of Act 1. The show will release in 3 acts:
- Act One: Episode 1 – 3 will release on November 6th
- Act Two: Episode 4 – 6 will release on November 13th
- Act Three: Episode 7 – 9 will release on November 20th
During the official release of Arcane, Riot have planned a show at the Worlds 2021 opener:
"It all starts with Worlds Finals, where there will be an Arcane-themed Show Open presented by Mastercard, featuring music straight from Arcane. We’ll continue into the Global Premiere, hosted live on Twitch, and co-streamed by your favorite streamers, with watch rewards across all of our games." - Riot x Arcane Website
Fans hoping to receive rewards for tuning in should double check that their Riot account is linked with Twitch! The Worlds opening ceremony will start at 8:00AM ET/5:00AM PST/1PM CET, so NA fans will need to wake up a tad early to avoid missing out!
