Arcane Season 2, Netflix's League of Legends animated series, has reportedly become the most expensive animated series ever produced, with production costs exceeding $250 million according to Variety.

The massive budget was primarily due to two factors:

• Delayed script deliveries, with half of the scripts incomplete when production began
• A labor-intensive production approach focusing on high-quality animation

Showrunner Christian Linke has disputed the exact figure but defended the high costs, stating that the team aimed for theatrical-level production values. The investment covered premium voice talent and top-tier artists to achieve cinema-quality animation.

The investment appears to have paid off, as Arcane has achieved both critical acclaim and commercial success. The series has:

• Earned high ratings on Netflix
• Won multiple industry awards
• Received positive reviews for its initial Season 2 episodes

This ambitious production budget may set a new precedent as more video game companies venture into Hollywood-style entertainment productions.
