Ahead of the second season premiere this fall, GKIDS has announced that they have acquired the global video and transactional rights to Arcane.

GKIDS has acquired the worldwide (excluding China) videogram and digital transactional rights to the first season of Arcane, teaming up with League of Legends developer Riot Games. GKIDS and its international partners will release a full product array later this year, ranging from digital to premium editions, including a 4K version exclusive.

Arcane is an adult animated series set in the world of the popular MOBA League of Legends. The series follows sisters Vi and Jinx, and the events surrounding rising civil unrest in the city of Piltover and its oppressed undercity of Zaun. The series was created by Christian Linke and Alex Yee, directed by Pascal Charrue Arnaud Delord, and produced by Fortiche under the supervision of League of Legends creator Riot Games. Arcane was amazingly well received, becoming the first series to win a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program.

Season two of Arcane will premiere in November of this year on Netflix.
