The Oscar-winning animation producer and distributor, will work alongside international partners to release a full product array, including a 4K version exclusive to the home entertainment release, in 2025, with further details to be announced.

In 2024, Gkids released season one of Arcane in a sold-out limited run collector’s edition, as well as a 4K UHD SteelBook, Blu-ray SteelBook, Standard Blu-ray and on digital download-to-own.  “The Gkids team is absolutely thrilled to continue its partnership with Riot and Fortiche,” said Gkids Director of Home Entertainment Alison Kozberg. “From the beginning, we developed our season one 4KUHD and Blu-ray editions with an eye towards eventually celebrating the whole story of Jinx, Vi, Piltover and Zaun.

We couldn’t be more excited to create something really special for the arc’s momentous conclusion.” Arcane is set in the universe of the popular video game League of Legends and is produced by its creator Riot Games with French animation studio Fortiche Production for Netflix.
