Arcane season 2 is now available on Netflix! After a successful first season in 2021, Riot Games and Netflix have released the long-awaited second season.
What is Arcane?
Arcane is an animated television series based on League of Legends, a MOBA video game developed by Riot Games. It is a collaboration between an animation studio and Netflix, similar to Terminator Zero. French animation studio Fortiche Production in partnership with Riot Games produced the series.
The story follows two sisters, Jinx and Vi. Jinx is voiced by Ella Purnell and Vi is voiced by Hailee Steinfeld. They travel through the broken cities of Piltover and Zaun.

Thoughts on Arcane + League of Legends Universe
I haven’t had the chance to watch the first three episodes of the second season, which will be the final season. If you don’t recall what happened in the first season, Netflix created a recap for us forgetful people.
The first season released during the pandemic and is Riot Games’ first full-blown animated series. If you haven’t played or heard of League of Legends before, there are close to 200 characters each with their own story. The community has waited a long time for an animated series based on any of the characters.
Co-creators Christian Linke and Alex Yee were fascinated by the origin story of Vi and Jinx. They are two popular characters in the video game, so it made sense to start a League of Legends animated series with them.
Arcane is only the beginning of full animated series’ coming from Riot Games. There are still over 190 characters they can create a series on. The writing team for the lore of the characters have infinite possibilities for stories.
Currently no news on the next animated project of Riot Games. What I’m hopeful for, as a League of Legends player myself, is something on the lore of the war between Demacia and Noxus. This storyline can include many characters.
