As we know, in 2021, Riot Games officially released the film Arcane on Netflix, and it quickly became a massive hit. With its outstanding visual design, sound, and a deep storyline, the film succeeded in captivating even the most discerning audiences.
And of course, with such an excellent work, it deserves awards to honor its value. Specifically, at the Annie Awards (which celebrate outstanding animated works in the U.S.), Arcane won all 9 categories in which it was nominated. This is considered a significant success for Riot Games, as Arcane is the first animated film produced by this game company.
The specific award categories that Arcane won at the Annie Awards include:
Best Original Script.
Best Voice Acting.
Best Character Design.
Best Media Product for All Ages.
Best Production.
Best Character Animation Design.
Best Direction.
Best Animation Effects.
Immediately after this news was announced, Riot Games received many congratulations from the audience and fans of the film. Indeed, this animated film is outstanding in many aspects, deserving all the praise it receives. Many people have urged Riot Games to produce more similar products like Arcane in the near future.
Additionally, Riot Games has also faced quite a bit of teasing from its own players. How can they not be teased when, as a game company, Riot has achieved great success at a film production award? Meanwhile, their beloved game – League of Legends – still encounters numerous balance issues and frequent bugs.
Hopefully, in the future, Riot will strive harder to resolve the existing issues with League of Legends. As for products like Arcane, players may have to wait quite a long time (at least until 2023), as Riot has shared that the second season of this film will not appear this year.
