“I’m just so grateful to be a part of it,” Tucker said. “I’m so impressed by the other artists and also the guys that created it, I mean, the geniuses. But really it’s kind of surreal. It’s really cool. It’s a great experience.”

Arcane has been praised for its animation, storytelling, and characters. The series has won numerous awards, including four Primetime Emmy Awards.

“I’m excited about the fact that it is a full story after season two,” Tucker said. “Like, it’s such a classy move. Doing quality over quantity. So I’m just looking forward to seeing how it plays out and the reaction.”  

Arcane is a groundbreaking series that has helped to redefine the relationship between video games and television. The series has also introduced a new generation of fans to the world of League of Legends.
