Recently, Riot dropped a trailer for the RiotX Arcane event, and in the trailer, we can see a new weapon that is possibly related to the upcoming anime series, Arcane.

For the unacquainted, Netflix is getting the Arcane anime series that is based on Riot's League of Legends title. Initially, Riot wanted to release the anime show in 2020.; however, it got pushed back because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Now, the anime is scheduled to arrive on November 6th, 2021.

As we are getting extremely close to Arcane's world premiere, Riot announced the RiotX Arcane event. According to the official announcement, starting November 6th, we'll see several events across all Riot titles that will be directly tied in with Netflix's anime series.

RiotX Arcane Event

The new RiotX Arcane event will go live across multiple Riot titles, including Valorant, League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics, Wild Rift, and Arcane. The "cross-game, cross-platform, cross-world experience" event will feature in-game rewards, game modes, merch, and collectibles related to the Arcane anime series. The event will start on November 6th, the same day when the League of Legends World Championship finals will happen.

Here you go; take a look at the official trailer of the event yourself:

VALORANT x Arcane Skins Teased

As stated by Outshot on YouTube, the RiotX Arcane rewards in Valorant will consist of:

  • Free RiotX Arcane Pass
  • Free in-game collectible items
  • In-game Arcane Collector's set
  • New Agent: Chamber

So, it's safe to say that we might get some premium Arcane-themed skins during the month-long event. Of course, Riot has yet to reveal the new skins officially, but you can see a glimpse of a new weapon skin in the RiotX Arcane's trailer:

Of course, Riot has yet to reveal more details on the upcoming Arcane collection. So, there's a possibility that the above skin is part of a new or an existing Arcane game mode. And if that's the case, the premium Arcane skins will be different from what we can see in the above image.

Hopefully, we'll hear more about this new Riot event in the future, so we'll update this post accordingly.

Finally, as part of the Arcane event, Valorant devs have launched the new Fishbones gun buddy. Interestingly, Prime Gaming subscribers can unlock this item starting November 1st.
