About Arcane episodes

Every episode of Arcane, with its place in the series and what it covers. The series is built in three-episode acts, and each act was released as a block, which shapes how the story is paced far more than a conventional weekly structure would.

Episodes are the most useful index into Arcane for anyone cross-referencing the games, because a single episode usually carries one self-contained escalation — a specific event that game texts refer back to without explaining.

The series is the highest-budget and widest-reaching Runeterra text Riot has produced, and for a large part of its audience it is the only one.

Each episode is also a useful anchor for the wider archive, because the series prompted a wave of tie-in material — music, cinematics, in-game events — that is indexed elsewhere here and is best read against the episode it accompanied.

Where this data comes from

Arcane episodes are read from Riot's own public data feeds rather than typed out or scraped from a wiki. That means an entry reflects the patch currently live: when Riot ships a change, the next collection run carries it, and nothing here is a hand-maintained copy that can quietly fall a season behind.

It also means the gaps are honest ones. Where Riot publishes no value for a field, this database shows none rather than guessing, and where a field exists only in one game's feed it is not invented for the others. The endpoints, their URL shapes and the versioning that governs them are documented in full in the Data Dragon and Community Dragon reference, including the two set identifiers a numeric loop silently skips.

The rest of the Arcane database

The same data set, cut by kind. Episodes is one section; the others below hold the rest of what Arcane ships, read from the same source on the same patch.

Every entry in this database describes a character, object or place that belongs to Runeterra, and the archive carries the stories they come from. The Archive of Runeterra indexes those works, the timeline puts them in in-world order, and the Data Dragon reference documents the public endpoints this data is read from.
