Leyndas Developer Riot Games and arcano The Fortiche Production Animation Study has announced that Riot has made a new investment of capital in Fortiche. The investment itself closed earlier this year and leaves Riot Games with what is described as a "significant" but not controlling participation in Fortiche. In addition, the Director of Content of Riot Games, Brian Wright, and the Corporate Development Director Brendan Mulligan, have joined the Fortiche Production Board.
Given the success of arcano, who recently won all the categories in which he was nominated at the Annie 2022 prizes, it is not so surprising to see Riot Games invest in the animation studio behind him. Especially since arcane has already been collected for a second season. But it is also worth noting that the two have a relatively long story along with Fortiche Production, collaborating in several musical and cinematic videos, which include, among others, «Get Jinxed» for the presentation of the Jinx champion to liga de legends.
«The various collaborations with Riot Games, and especially with Arcane, have converted Fortiche Production into a new important actor in the international animation scene," said Pascal Charrue, Jérôme Combe and Arnaud Delord, co-founders of Fortiche, as part of the Official ad "Riot Games, when relying on us, has given us the means to achieve our common ambitions and has shown that it is possible to offer new content that can reach a great audience. In 2023, we will celebrate ten years of collaboration: there is no better way to symbolize the trust and ambitions of our two companies that this partnership ».
"Fortiche has been a comprehensive partner for a long time, but this agreement guarantees that we will work closely during the coming decades," said Nicolo Laurent, executive director of Riot Games, as part of the same announcement. "We have a high standard for all with whom we work and insist that they deeply understand the players and focus on them without rest, and from the first day, Fortiche has been an example of Player Experience First. By working with Fortiche, we collaborate to expand the limits of what is possible and increase expectations on how games can be represented. Although we are proud of Arcane, we know that the best is yet to come ».
