According to sources, this spending is apparently a reflection of Riot's inexperience in entertainment production. Riot co-founder Marc Merrill acknowledges learning that quality takes time.
Merrill stated that Riot's ambitions in entertainment remain unchanged, emphasizing they never intended to operate like a traditional studio and have recalibrated their development and output expectations.
Riot's hefty investment of $250 million for Arcane seasons 1 and 2 reflects their commitment to delivering a show worthy of their players' time, despite its unprecedented costs.
The total production cost of $250 million for 18 episodes makes Arcane the most expensive animated series ever, whether for streaming services or traditional TV.
