Which studio produced the animation for Arcane?

The studio that produced the animation for Arcane is Fortiche.

Fortiche, often referred to as Fortiche Production, is a French animation studio that worked with Riot Games on Arcane. Riot supervised the project and financed its development, while Fortiche handled the series’ distinctive animated production. The partnership built on earlier collaborations between the two companies on League of Legends music videos and cinematic projects.

Fortiche’s visual style combines painterly 2D-looking textures with 3D character animation, giving Arcane a look that differs from conventional television CGI. The studio’s work helped portray the contrast between Piltover’s polished technology and Zaun’s gritty industrial environments. Its animation also supported the show’s expressive facial acting and elaborate action scenes.

A frequent mistake is identifying Netflix as the animation studio. Netflix distributed the series, but it did not produce the animation itself. Riot Games is likewise essential to the project as the owner of League of Legends and its supervising production partner, yet Fortiche is the specific studio credited with producing the animation. The collaboration continued as Riot developed additional League-related animated projects.
