Twenty One Pilots, d4vd and Royal & The Serpent shared the stage at the Game Awards 2024 for an emotional and stirring medley performance in honour of the hit Netflix animated series Arcane – watch it below.
Arcane – based on the hit game League Of Legends – was up for Best Adaptation at the Game Awards 2024 but ultimately lost out to Fallout. Nevertheless, Arcane was still celebrated via a medley performance orchestrated by Riot Games.
The medley kicked off with Royal & The Serpent’s touching performance of ‘Wasteland’. Soon after, inaugural NME The Cover star d4vd hit the stage for ‘Remember Me’ as scenes from the series flashed on screen.
Twenty One Pilots then performed their chilling and gorgeous hit ‘The Line’. All three songs were written and recorded for the Arcane soundtrack. Watch the complete medley performance below.
Arcane‘s second season premiered in November and was released in three acts, consisting three episodes each. Season two’s conclusion also led to the culmination of the Arcane series.
However, Riot has confirmed that more shows set in the Arcane and League Of Legends universes are in the works. Speaking to RadioTimes in October, Arcane co-creator Christian Linke said he wanted to explore “different regions. Piltover and Zaun have been such a home to us for so long, but there’s Noxus, there is Ionia. Bilgewater is really fun. There’s Bandal city, the more quirky part, like we’re looking at all of them really, because we love this IP and we love these characters.”
“You take them all as far as you can and see which ones you know have the wings,” he continued. “So that’s our job right now. There’s nothing kind of set in stone yet, nothing in production yet. But right now, we’re developing those.”
‘The Line’ marks Twenty One Pilots’ first post-‘Clancy’ release. ‘Clancy’ scored a three-star review from NME: “‘Clancy’ is more often than not the sound of a band spinning their wheels, caught in a strange space where their colourful conceptual ideas are being painted from a beige musical palette.”
