League of Legends is getting into some longer form storytelling, with an official trailer for their upcoming animated Netflix series Arcane. Netflix officially announced the animated series on Monday, which will be set in the world of the MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) video game and will expand the game’s lore to the small screen.

The series comes from Riot, the creater of League of Legends, and the trailer offers the first looks from the series of LoL’s fighters Vi and Jinx, among others. The series is described as follows:

From the creators of League of Legends comes a new animated series, Arcane. Set in the utopian region of Piltover and the oppressed underground of Zaun, the story follows the origins of two iconic League champions-and the power that will tear them apart.

League of Legends is one of the most popular video game franchises worldwide with 115 million monthly players, and a heavyweight in the world of esports. Riot has previously expanded the franchise into other venues including mobile games, K-pop music and more. Arcane is set to arrive this fall on Netflix.
