Epic Games and Riot Games are partnering up to celebrate the release of Arcane which is an animated series that is set in the League of Legends universe and is airing exclusively on the Netflix streaming service. The prequel series recounts the origins of several beloved fan-favourite characters from the Piltover and Zaun Regions with a star studded cast including Hailee Steinfeld (Apple TV’s Dickinson), Kevin Alejandro (Netflix’s Lucifer), and Ella Purnell (Netflix’s Army of the Dead) as Vi, Jayce, and Jinx respectively. The first three episodes premiered on November 6th, 2021 at 10PM EST with additional episodes dropping on November 13th, 2021 and November 20th, 2021 serving as the finale.
The collaboration between Epic Games and Riot Games began on November 4th, 2021 as the popular team-based strategy game League of Legends arrived in the Epic Games Store alongside three other Riot Games titles including VALORANT, Teamfight Tactics, and Legends of Runeterra for the first time in history. It is unknown as to how long these four games will remain in the Epic Games Store considering that Riot Games has its own dedicated gaming client – Riot Client – where players can download and play them from as well. The aforementioned titles are free-to-play and recently, Riot Games announced on Twitter that Legends of Runeterra has surpassed over 180 million players and counting!
Players can continue the Arcane launch celebrations in Fortnite as Arcane Jinx has officially boarded the Battle Bus to bring her aura of anarchy and lots of explosive action to the game. She debuted in the Fortnite Item Shop on November 4th, 2021 at 8PM EST and comes equipped to cause plenty of chaos with the Arcane Jinx Bundle which includes the Arcane Jinx Outfit, Jinx’s Dream Monkey Back Bling, Pow Pow Crusher Pickaxe, Playground (Instrumental) Lobby Track, and Jinxed Spray as well as two exclusive Loading Screens: Wrecking Havoc and Katchoo! for 1,800 V-Bucks.
The Arcane Jinx Outfit, Pow Pow Crusher Pickaxe, and Playground (Instrumental) Lobby Track are also available to purchase separately for 1,500 V-Bucks, 800 V-Bucks, and 200 V-Bucks respectively; players that purchase the Arcane Jinx Bundle will receive a discount of 700 V-Bucks rather than grabbing each individual item on their own. Epic Games has brought the sounds of Arcane to the world of Fortnite with The Playground (Instrumental) Lobby Track which comes directly from the official Arcane Original Soundtrack that features artist Bea Miller performing the lyrical version in the animated series.
Arcane Jinx is the latest addition to the Fortnite Gaming Legends Series which currently includes Master Chief (Halo Infinite), Kratos (God of War Ragnarök), Aloy (Horizon Forbidden West), Lara Croft (Tomb Raider), Psycho Bandit (Borderlands series), Cammy (Street Fighter), Chun-Li (Street Fighter), Guile (Street Fighter), Ryu (Street Fighter), with Chris Redfield (Resident Evil) and Jill Valentine (Resident Evil) being added during Fornitemares which concluded on November 2nd, 2021 at 9AM EST.
