RiotX Arcane: Start time, Twitch Drops, featured events, in-game content, and more

This upcoming weekend will undoubtedly be one of the biggest in Riot Games' history, with the Worlds 2021 finals between DWG KIA and Edward Gaming, and the world premiere of their new animated series "Arcane", after almost two years since its initial reveal.

As part of everything prepared for this unprecedented event, Riot has fully revealed everything their communities will be able to enjoy, to commemorate the end of the competitive season and the premiere of the first chapters of their new Netflix series.

Let's take a look at what’s in store for RiotX Arcane.

All you need to know about RiotX Arcane

The RiotX Arcane event will be divided into three parts, in which players will be able to enjoy tons of content based on the series, as well as exclusive rewards on all Riot Games titles.

Worlds and Arcane Super Weekend

To kick things off, the World Championship Finals Show Open will bring us a great ceremony that will connect the new animated series with several of Riot's games, far surpassing what was presented during the Sentinels of Light event.

Among some of the surprises that await us is a musical presentation with Imagine Dragons, PVRIS, Bea Miller, JID, and Denzel Curry, who will take viewers on a journey through Piltover and Zaun, delighting us with part of the soundtrack of the series ahead of the fight for the Summoner's Cup.

Later that same day, Riot is also gearing up the Arcane Global Premiere, featuring an innovative red carpet for media and streamers at Riot’s headquarters in Los Angeles, representing over 30 countries around the world, to broadcast the celebration to their global communities.

"With every new step we take, from launching new games to expanding our esports, we’ve always remained focused on bringing players exciting, resonant content that is authentic to the core League of Legends experience," said Nicolo Laurent, CEO, Riot Games.

The Worlds 2021 Show Open will begin on 6th November at 5 am PT / 12 pm BST, while the RiotX Arcane Global Premiere will begin at 5:30 pm PT / 12:30 am BST.

Everything will be broadcast live on LoLesports.com, Arcane.com, as well as YouTube and Twitch.

Twitch Drops available during Arcane Global Premiere

As part of the Arcane Global Premiere, content creators will have the chance to co-stream the series’ first episode, making it the first Netflix series to debut with co-streaming exclusively on Twitch.

During the worldwide co-streams, all of Riot’s games will launch new Arcane-themed items and updates during the show's premiere, with many rewards for all players available via Twitch Drops.

Some of the rewards available as part of the Twitch Drops include:
