For a few weeks this summer, Piltover and Zaun took over the heart of Beijing!
From July 13 to August 31, the Arcane Commemorative Exhibition transformed SKP‑S, Beijing’s avant‑garde luxury mall (all 35,000 m² of it!), into an immersive Arcane playground, where visitors stepped directly into the series’ imagination and artistry.
Conceived as a “store of the future,” SKP‑S was the perfect stage for an experience where fashion, art, and animation collide!
Behind the scenes of creation
Over 100 m² of manuscripts and archives revealed the craft at the core of Arcane: character sheets, scene drafts, and production notes that mapped nine years of work!
From detailed storyboards to breakdowns of how hand‑drawn animation fused with CGI, the Making of Arcane section gave fans a close look at the Fortiche-way of creating!
And yes….you could even see a life‑size re‑creation of Vi & Jinx’s duel.
Stepping into Arcane’s world
At the entrance, a vibrant graffiti mural crafted by Fortiche talents set the stage! Inside, the exhibition unfolded in immersive chapters, each bringing the story and its characters to life:
- Zaun’s passage: an atmospheric journey retracing Jinx’s key story moments.
- Piltover’s showcase: a Hextech device replica, giving fans a taste of the upper city’s tech marvels.
- Zaun and Piltover Faction zones: characters from both cities stood proudly, side by side, telling the story of two worlds in collision.
An interactive celebration
Fans could play new card games and visit the stamp and sticker station to collect keepsakes! Just when you thought the adventure was over, the merch area welcomed them with a trove of must-have Arcane collectibles!
