What an incredible ride it was! Last June, we unleashed something truly special at the Annecy Animation Film Festival 2025: we invited our fans, partners and media to step right into the vibrant, beating heart of Arcane!
Our ambition was to offer visitors a deep dive into the creative maelstrom that birthed the series! Whether you were a die-hard animation nerd, an industry pro, or someone who simply couldn’t get enough of Jinx and Vi, this was a backstage pass!
The exhibition, held in a specially constructed ephemeral structure spanning 360m2 at UBA Le Pâquier – Annecy, ran from June 8th to 14th, 2025. We were thrilled to welcome 23,500 visitors in one week – a testament to the drawing power of Arcane!
Best of all, entry was completely FREE, and no Annecy Festival passes were required, ensuring accessibility for all our dedicated fans.
What did our visitors get to experience? Buckle up:
- Never-Before-Seen Treasures: Props, set pieces, and secret documents straight from the vault, offering an unparalleled look at the world of Zaun and Piltover.
- Original Concepts and Graphic explorations: the raw ideas and visuals that sparked the whole thing.
- Behind-the-Scenes Journeys: Glimpses into the epic production process!
Beyond the visuals, we featured home made sculptures produced by our talents Christophe Gigot and Edouard Cellura and props from the series, offering a tangible connection to the world of Arcane !
The excitement continued with two buzzing signing sessions featuring Alex Seaver and the Fortiche crew, where we connected directly with fans and signed over 500 autographs. The exclusive Arcane poster designed by our talents became a coveted memento.
This monumental project was made possible thanks to the invaluable support of CTIA, the city of Annecy, Riot Games, and L’Atelier, whose collaboration was crucial to bringing this unforgettable event to life.
We hope everyone who joined us felt it, lived it, and carried a piece of Arcane home with them. This exhibition was a heartfelt thank you to our fans and a celebration of the incredible world we’ve built together.
