New League of Legends video might have set up Arcane's sequel series, and now I'm even more desperate to see the hit Netflix show's first follow-up

• Riot Games has released a new in-game cinematic for its next League of Legends season
• The five-minute video also appears to act as a prologue to Arcane's Noxus-set sequel show
• Mel Medarda is seen alongside other iconic Noxus characters, including Darius and LeBlanc

A new in-game League of Legends (LoL) cinematic appears to have teased our first look at one of Arcane's sequel projects.

The five-minute-long video, titled 'Welcome to Noxus', which was released yesterday (January 7) is, first and foremost, a fully CGI flick that markets the impending arrival of LoL's first season of the year. However, while the promo video has been created to increase the hype ahead of season 1's debut on January 9, it simultaneously acts as an epilogue to Arcane season 2 and/or a prelude to the highly-rated Netflix show's first follow-up.
