Anticipation is building towards the release of Arcane Season 2. Just days after Netflix suffered a major breach that resulted in the highly anticipated second season leaking entirely, the creators behind the series have dropped a new poster to remind everyone that the final season arrives this November. And with the leaks reportedly low quality, many fans will hopefully wait for the show's official release.
The new poster features four of Arcane's core characters: Vi, Caitlyn, Mel, and Jinx. "The ties that bind us can also destroy us," the tagline teases.
In addition to the poster, there was a brief video shared in which Arcane co-creator and showrunner Christian Linke answers fan questions about what's coming in Season 2 of the hit series. The questions are fairly generic as to avoid major spoilers, but it's definitely interesting to hear his thoughts on characters like Jinx, and if Vi has really turned against her completely.
If you recall, the teaser trailer for Arcane Season 2 showed that Vi had joined the Piltover Enforcer Squad, perhaps suggesting she has completely turned against Jinx.
"This is very difficult for Vi," Linke responded. "In that moment she's driven by what she thinks is the right thing to do and sometimes that part of you can feel like it's wrong, but it's a little bit like the mind against the heart."
LInke was also asked his overall opinion of Jinx, a divisive character who some people love and some people hate.
"Look, I think there's a really central question around, you know, people that do bad things or criminals," he explained. "Can you forgive a monster? That is the central question for Jinx. I don't know what the answer is."
In the video below, you can also hear Linke discuss Noxus's role in Season 2 and whether or not we'll see any new League of Legends champions in Season 2. Of course, anyone familiar with League of Legends who has already watched Season 1 can probably already answer that question The ending of Season 1 along with the teaser for Season 2 strongly suggests Warwick will be making an appearance in Season 2, although it's possible we'll see other champions as well.
Despite the immense success of Arcane Season 1, which in 2022 became the first streaming series to win a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program and won an Annie Award for Best General Audience Animated Television Broadcast Production, Riot Games has decided to end the series with this upcoming season. While Season 2 will serve as the conclusion of Arcane, Linke previously teased that other League of Legends-inspired stories will be told.
Unfortunately, we still don't have a premiere date for Arcane Season 2. All we know is it that it will debut exclusively on Netflix this November.
