Fans of the popular Netflix series Arcane have been eagerly awaiting updates on season 2, and Riot CEO Nicolo Laurent recently provided some insights during an interview with LPL caster Teddy Guan. While the series has been confirmed to be in the works, Laurent shared some bad news for those hoping to see the sequel this year – it won’t be coming in 2023.
During the interview, Laurent revealed that he had just watched the third episode of season 2 before his flight, proving that progress was being made on the series. However, he also explained that the reason for the delay was twofold. On the one hand, the team wants to ensure the quality of the show and not rush the production process. On the other hand, Riot Games did not start working on season 2 until they knew if the first season would be a success. Laurent stated that if he had known how successful season 1 would be, they could have started season 2 earlier.
With this update, fans have confirmation that they will need to wait another year before they can see Arcane season 2. While Laurent did not reveal the expected release date, it’s clear that the team is taking their time to ensure the quality of the show and provide fans with a sequel that lives up to the high expectations set by the first season.
Arcane was a huge success for Riot Games, introducing League of Legends to a wider audience and bringing the world of Runeterra to life in a way that had never been seen before. The series was praised for its stunning animation, compelling characters, and intricate storytelling. Fans are eagerly awaiting the chance to see what happens next in the world of Arcane, and while the delay is disappointing, it’s clear that Riot is committed to providing a quality product that will live up to the hype.
In addition to the news about season 2, Laurent also touched on other topics related to Riot Games and the esports industry as a whole. He discussed the importance of building a strong culture within the company and creating a positive work environment for employees. He also talked about the potential for esports to continue to grow and become a mainstream form of entertainment, with Riot Games at the forefront of that movement.
The interview with Laurent provided some valuable insights into the world of Riot Games and the future of esports. While fans may be disappointed by the news that Arcane season 2 won’t be coming this year, they can rest assured that the team is working hard to deliver a product that will be worth the wait. In the meantime, there are plenty of other exciting developments in the world of esports to keep fans engaged and entertained, and Riot Games remains at the forefront of the industry.
