Remember physical media? The team behind Arcane certainly does, as the Netflix series is getting the rare Blu-ray treatment

Netflix’s animated League of Legends adaptation Arcane is getting a physical release, and it’s all thanks to GKIDS.

One of the most frustrating aspects of Netflix is that most of what it produces never releases on DVD or Blu-ray. It’s obviously because the streaming service wants as many people to subscribe as possible, but it does make preserving certain series a bit of a ball ache. I do have some good news when it comes to physical media of Netflix shows, though, as GKIDS announced yesterday that it had acquired the global home entertainment rights to Arcane season 1. In a press release (via Polygon), GKIDS didn’t offer too many details, but it did say it plans to release “a full product array later this year, ranging from digital to premium editions, including a 4K version exclusive to the home entertainment release.”

This is obviously great news for fans of the first season, as it means they can easily play it on loop without having to worry about having a stable internet condition, or, you know, paying for Netflix every month. In a statement, GKIDS founder and CEO Eric Beckman also said at the Annecy International Animation Festival “We are MONSTER fans of [Arcane]. Our team is having a blast collaborating with the creatives at Riot and Fortiche to put together an amazing package for the fans. This project was dreamt up on the lawn by the lake at Annecy, so we are extra happy to be able to announce this collaboration at the festival and true home of animation.”
