from PC gamer:

Arcane is an animated television series set in the League of Legends universe. The series was unveiled during the League of Legends 10th Anniversary celebrations. It is currently being developed and produced by Riot and animated by Fortiche Productions.

Arcane centers on the origin story of two of its most iconic characters: Jinx and her sister Vi. It’s not clear exactly what the narrative is, but judging by the trailers it seems like Arcane will explore the sisters’ childhood growing up on the mean streets of Piltover and Zaun, a pair of cities that represent a kind of technological utopia and dystopia.

Who is in Arcane?

So far, we’ve not been formally introduced to most of the characters who make brief appearances in the trailer. Jinx looks to play a role in the show, since it’s set in her stomping grounds and her boots appear in the end of the teaser we got. Other than that—in addition to our speculation about the story focusing on Jinx and Vi—we don’t know yet.

However, considering the setting of Piltover and Zaun, here’s a list of all the champions associated with those regions:

Where in Runeterra is Arcane set?

So far we’ve seen what looks like Piltover and Zaun.

Piltover is the center of Valoran, a beautiful city on the cliffs above the ocean and the center of Runeterrra’s steampunk-driven aesthetic, hextech technology, and apparently, giant airships. It’s usually used as a sort of renaissance stand-in city full of art, commerce, and invention.

Zaun, on the other hand, is the darker side of the industrial revolution. Located below Piltover as a sort of undercity, it’s filled with mazes of pipes, smog, industrial chemicals, mad scientists, black markets, and all manner of pollution. People don’t really live in Zaun so much as survive it as best they can, and a number of the more villainous characters from Runeterran lore hail from it.

Nowhere else in Runeterra has shown up so far, but there are a dozen other major locations that we know of already that could always show up.

Arcane the animated series is coming to Netflix Fall 2021.
