Netflix Drops New Trailer for Arcane Season 2

As a die-hard fan of animated series and video games, I am absolutely thrilled about the upcoming season 2 of Arcane! Having grown up with League of Legends and its captivating lore, this series has been a dream come true for me. The first season was nothing short of exceptional, and I eagerly await to see where the story goes next.

Netflix has finally unveiled the preview for the much anticipated second season of Arcane. This show, rooted in characters from the multiplayer game, League of Legends, delves deeper into the backstories and origins of its iconic figures like Vi (Hailee Steinfeld), Jinx (Ella Purnell), Caitlyn (Katie Leung), Ekko (Reed Shannon), and others. The Emmy-winning series is set to return on Netflix in November.

In the upcoming season, we’ll find ourselves continuing immediately after the Season 1 finale, with Jinx launching her attack on Piltover’s council. War has arrived, and allegiances are becoming clearer. The surface city of Piltover is determined to seek justice for its presumed loss of the entire council, while the underground city of Zaun is rallying behind Jinx as a beacon of rebellion.

Netflix Drops New Trailer for Arcane Season 2

The trailer for the upcoming season is hiding a few surprises. For instance, whether any characters from Season 1’s finale are still alive or if we’ll encounter any deceased characters again. Despite this, Jason Spisak, who voices Silco, has hinted that his character will make a comeback in an unexpected manner for Season 2. Some viewers have been impressed by the enhanced visuals and animation in the trailer, describing them as more lively, colorful, and even flawless. The first season debuted in November 2021, and while there’s been a gap since then, the apparent improvement in the top-notch artwork suggests that patience brings its rewards.

In the preview, Jinx expresses a desire to see everything destroyed by saying, “I want to watch it all burn.” It appears that she isn’t acting alone, as her image is prominently displayed on the walls of the Undercity during the ongoing conflict. Some citizens seem to view her as a figurehead to rally around, much like Vander was portrayed as an unspoken leader and guardian in Season 1 for the Undercity. Will Jinx act impulsively, following viewers’ expectations, or approach her rebellion against Topside with more strategic precision?

For the debut single of Arcane Season 2‘s original soundtrack, “Paint The Town Blue” by Ashnikko, is prominently featured in the trailer. Simultaneously, trailers and advertisements are appearing worldwide, with the hashtag #PaintTheTownBlue causing iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore to be spray-painted Jinx blue.

This upcoming season marks the conclusion of the saga for Arcane. With an impressive 100% rating among critics and 96% approval from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, Arcane stands as one of the most highly praised video game adaptations. Fans eagerly anticipate updates about potential sequels. Series co-creator Christian Linke has hinted at future stories being developed. His statement suggests more tales are planned for the future.

Our collaboration with the exceptional animation studio, Fortiche, on the tale of Arcane marks only the start of a larger narrative adventure for us. From day one, when we embarked on this project, we had a particular finale in mind, meaning that the story of Arcane concludes with this second season. However, Arcane represents the opening chapter in a series of tales we aim to spin within Runeterra.

Officially, there haven’t been any announcements regarding further League of Legends adaptations yet. The trailer hints at “every ending is a new beginning,” sparking excitement among fans as they eagerly await the explosive finale of Arcane this November and whatever plans are in store for the future.
