Arcane: League of Legends: Netflix Review

Rating: *****/*****

League of Legends a very popular video game that’s been around for over a decade has now been adapted into an animated series on Netflix. The series, Arcane: League of Legends was just released on November 6, 2021 and starring Hailee Steinfeld. As a person who doesn’t play LoL, I was very surprised by Arcane’s story and the quality of the animation. The title theme song is by Imagine Dragons and soundtrack is very cool.

Rottentomatoes gives the series a 100% score! Here’s what they say:

“Newcomers should be equally enthralled by Arcane’s compelling narrative, richly developed characters … “

Critics Consensus

“Arcane makes an arresting first impression, combining a spectacular mix of 2D and 3D animation with an emotionally compelling story to deliver a video game adaptation that could become legendary.”

Well then, this is a must see for me! Now out on Netflix
