After revealing a new League of Legends show is in the works during a recent Twitch interview, Arcane co-creator and showrunner Christian Linke has opened up further on the early creative stages of a post-Arcane project set in Runeterra – and isn't ruling out a movie.

"Yeah, they take time. What I said [in the Twitch interview] was we're exploring these regions – Noxus, Ionia – and we always focus on characters, you know?" Linke told GamesRadar+. "When we think about stories we are exploring, it's always about a specific champion or specific character – which I can't name yet, because there are several."

Linke continued, "But, yeah, it takes time – depending on if it's a series or a movie. We're exploring both in many, many directions. A lot of it comes down to finding the right people, the right vision, the right idea, the right story. That'll take years and once we have confidence that something's happening, we'll talk more about it."
