Riot Games co-creator Christian Linke has confirmed that three new League of Legends-based shows are in development, with series set in the regions of Noxus, Ionia, and Demacia. Although there was initially no plan for a third season of Arcane, this news provides hope for fans who were disappointed by the show’s conclusion.
Linke revealed that one of the shows has already been in production for over a year, potentially shortening its release timeline. The development of these three shows is a significant indication that they will be released at some point, although no specific release dates have been confirmed yet.
Noxus appears to be a prime candidate for the first show, given its prominent role in Arcane’s finale and the region’s extensive roster of characters. However, Linke clarified that the three regions being explored are not separate shows, but rather a collection of different series.
Fans can look forward to seeing some of their favorite League of Legends heroes from each region on screen. Some of the high-profile champions mentioned include Darius, Riven, and Akali from Noxus, as well as Ahri, Irelia, and Jhin from Ionia.
Riot Games is committed to preserving the integrity of the League of Legends lore, but it seems that the success of Arcane has given them a newfound focus on storytelling. With Fortiche, the animation studio behind Arcane, already at work on the new shows, fans are eagerly anticipating their release in 2026 or 2027.
