More video game stories are getting adapted for film and TV than ever before - and Arcane writer Amanda Overton thinks Riot's recent can do what The Last of Us and The Witcher simply can't - leave their own mark on the source material.
When a show is based on a single-player game, there's only so much wiggle room available to it. The characters have their set arcs and there isn't anything new to draw on unless a sequel comes out - perhaps that's why adaptations like HBO's The Last of Us stick so close to their in-game narratives. But Arcane is based on League of Legends, an ever-changing live-service title.
