Riot also mentioned that Wright works to “bridge the relationship between gaming and entertainment industries.” With this move, a possibility for their entertainment universe could be on its way, and one of their debut projects for this is Arcane, the animated series coming to Netflix this year. That features a storyline of some League of Legends champions, such as Jinx and Vi.
Also, a mockumentary about a fictional LOL eSports team is reportedly in the works. Titled PLAYERS, it'll be headed by Riot Games and the creators of American Vandal, which is being released by Paramount+.
