Arcane<\/em>, the popular Netflix animated series based on the League of Legends<\/em> video game, has won the award for Outstanding Animated Program at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremony, on top of the three other animation-related trophies<\/a> it earned earlier this year.<\/p>\n

This marks the first time that a streaming-exclusive show has won the award, despite growing competition in recent years. Arcane<\/em> beat another streaming exclusive, Marvel\u2019s What If\u2026? <\/em>(available to watch on Disney Plus), as well as non-streaming offerings from Bob\u2019s Burgers<\/em>, The Simpsons,<\/em> and Rick and Morty,<\/em> to the punch. Previous years have seen entries from other Netflix animated shows, such as Big Mouth<\/em> and BoJack Horseman<\/em>, <\/em>nominated for the award.<\/p>\n

The series was released back in November 2021<\/a> in partnership with League<\/em> developer Riot Games. It focuses on a handful of characters from the popular MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena), including orphaned sisters Vi and Jinx, their childhood friend Ekko, and bickering inventors Jayce and Viktor. The episode that won the award is the sixth in the series, titled \u201cWhen These Walls Come Tumbling Down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arcane<\/em> co-creator Christian Linke picked up the award during the ceremony and is quoted via Deadline<\/em><\/a> saying, \u201cThank you for this. It\u2019s a big deal for us as we come from video games. It\u2019s been amazing to see the world embrace our characters.\u201d<\/p>\n
