Every fan would agree that theArcane‘s second season was worth every moment of the three-year wait. As a modern masterpiece of storytelling, and animation, the show continues to redefine what’s possible for passionate video game adaptations and animated TV shows.
Many in the community felt like it would be a top contender at this year’s The Game Awards, and that looks to be the case. The show has been announced as one of the nominees for the Best Adaptation awards, but for some odd reason, it’s competing against the biggest disappointment of the year,Legend of Lara Croft.
Legend of Lara CroftCan’t Stand AgainstArcaneat The Game Awards 2024
Many tune into The Games Award for the world premiers, but others watch to see which video game adaptations take the trophy home. The award for the Best Adaptation has always been hotly debated, but it shouldn’t even be debated in 2024.
The six nominees for this year areFallout,Knuckles,Arcane Season 2,Like a Dragon: Yakuza, andTomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft.

ConsideringArcane‘s impact on the industry, it’s a sure-shot winner of this award. What’s really mind-boggling is that The Game Awards is trying to place this incredible show in the same category as the biggest disappointment of the year,Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft.

Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croftpremiered on Netflix back in October and continued Lara Croft’s journey after the events of the 2018 gameShadow of the Tomb Raider.
The show’s storysimply failed to grab the attention of the communityand got worse as each episode went on. The animation is quite boring and minimalist, and most of the show’s attempts at any kind of humor were obnoxious. The writers don’t give the cast enough room to work with anything. This show shouldn’t have been anywhere near the nominees for The Games’ Award.
I mean none of these are even close to arcane.
It’s truly shocking howArcaneis ahead of the curve, as it hasn’t even finished airing yet.
Arcane isnt even finished airing, and its likely already won.
As one player states, the wayArcanebrought theLeague of Legendsto life was quite phenomenal, and something which the Tomb Raider show failed to do.
Awesome lineup! I’m rooting for Arcane Season 2 – the way it brought the League of Legends universe to life was pure magic.
It’s obvious which show adaptation will win the award this time, but you can tune in to The Game Awards on December 12 to find out for yourself.

Cuz there are lots of other stories to tell
It’s worth considering thatArcanestands as the most expensive animated show ever made, with a staggering budget of $250 million. With that kind of investment, it’s unlikely that Riot will give up on the potential of the series.
Even Netflix will probably be looking for another collaboration with Riot. Nothing has been announced yet, but we’ll likely hear once act three ofArcanefinally debuts.
