The Annecy International Animation Film Festival is an event that often touts some big premieres. This year, the festival will feature the likes of The Lord of The Rings: The War of The Rohirrim, Creature Commandos, Look Back, and many other animated projects that fans are looking to dive into. The studio known as Fortiche is also planning to have a role at Annecy as the production house responsible for Netflix's Arcane has plans to reveal a new animated series that is surrounded by mystery.

Arcane is a fan-favorite animated series that presents a story focusing on Jinx and Vi, two characters that first got their start in the beloved video game, League of Legends. The series took the world by storm by incorporating some eye-popping animation with a compelling story that didn't pull any punches. Fortiche might be best known for Arcane, but it isn't the only project that the studio has done in the past. The production house created Rabbids Invasion, another project based on a video game, along with Marvel's Rocket & Groot.
