Arcane Season 2 creators don't want the League of Legends spin-off to turn into a new MCU: "If we're just doing another superhero thing there's no reason to do this"

Arcane.

Arcane's showrunners say that any future League of Legends projects would need to look and feel different from the current series, because "if we're just doing another superhero thing as an IP, then there's no reason to do this".

In an interview with GamesRadar+ ahead of Arcane's second and final season, co-creators Christian Linke and Alex Yee suggested that a future League of Legends spin-off would "really need to have a message". Despite confirming that this series will end with season 2, the pair have expressed a desire to tell more stories in the game's universe, but Linke says that since they work in animation, "it would be a shame and a failure on our part" if a new show looked and felt "the same" as Arcane.
