The idea of series by game content is obviously a good one
The first Emmy for an animated streaming series based on a computer game
Netflix's animated series Arcane, based on the League of Legends game, won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program, becoming the first streaming series to win in the category. It beat out much more famous competitors such as Bob's Burgers, Rick and Morty, The Simpsons and What If...?, which was directed by the late Chadwick Boseman. “For us coming from the world of video games, this is a really big recognition. It's amazing to see how well the world is embracing our characters and stories," said Arcane co-creator Christian Linke.
The series stars Ella Purnell (Jinx), Hailee Steinfeld (Vi) and Katie Leung (Caitlyn), and the fact that Netflix began airing a second season last winter shows that it is ready to accept big-budget game-based productions. The first season boasted almost 34.2 million hours of viewing in its first week, which ranked it second in the top 10 at the time. It also received very positive reviews from both critics and viewers.
