The series announced today by Netflix is titled “Arcane” and features popular League characters Jinx and Vi. The series was actually teased all the way in 2019 with a 2020 air date, but things have obviously been delayed and now it has been re-revealed.

The teaser trailer is fairly brief, but it provides a look at the character design and action.

You can check it out below while you wait for the debut of the series in the fall of 2020. At the moment, a precise air date has not been shared just yet.

Here’s a brief official description that came with the tease.

“From the creators of League of Legends comes a new animated series, Arcane. Set in the utopian region of Piltover and the oppressed underground of Zaun, the story follows the origins of two iconic League champions-and the power that will tear them apart.”

If you’re unfamiliar with League of Legends, it’s a long-running MOBA by Riot Games that has been making headlines since 2009.

Despite its enormous popularity, it’s available exclusively for PC.
