Though the events of the series are heavily based on the established lore of the game, some differences have already been noted in the series. On May 3, 2021, it was announced that the show has been picked up by Netflix for international release and by Tencent Video in China with a fall release date. Original slated for a 2020 release, the show was delayed to 2021 due to COVID-19-related difficulties. The series was announced on Octoas part of the League of Legends 10th anniversary celebrations, with Riot Games' CEO Nicolo Laurent stating that they have plans for Arcane to have multiple seasons.

The voice actors came in early in the production process, but majority of the main cast was only announced years later on September 21, 2021. The series was produced with and animated by Fortiche, a French animation and creative production studio based in Paris that has worked with Riot on various videos for its champions in the past. Riot's then Global Head of Entertainment Businesses and Partnerships Jarred Kennedy worked with a creative team of writers (including Linke and Yee) in Los Angeles. With this being the company's first foray into this media format, Riot Games decided to have Arcane developed internally and independently financed, though initially through the collaboration of Linke and Yee with artists they've worked with before they began to receive more funding from Riot. Pitched by Linke and Yee in around 2014-2015, everything from planning and starting up the project to the overall writing, production, and animation took around six years before its eventual release.
