Arcane Season 2 trailer reveals first look at the anime’s continuation /

Riot Games has released the first trailer for Arcane Season 2, the continuation of its successful League of Legends anime series on Netflix. It provides a first taste of what fans can expect when the show returns as planned in November 2024.

Watch the Arcane Season 2 trailer below:

Arcane received widespread acclaim for its first season, winning big at several award shows in 2022. Combining 2D and 3D animation with spectacular results, the action-adventure tells an emotionally compelling story revolving around several characters from Riot Games’ popular MOBA game League of Legends. Six years in the making, the show disappointed neither critics nor fans, no matter if they ever played the game or not, making it without a doubt one of the best adaptations of a video game ever made.

Riot teamed up with Paris-based animation studio Fortiche for the series after having worked with the company on other promotional material for its games.

Arcane Season 1’s storyline mainly focuses on two sisters called Vi (voiced by Hailee Steinfeld) and Jynx (voiced by Ella Purnell), who are playable champions in the game, and features other game characters in smaller roles. Season 1 contains nine episodes, which were released in blocks of three over a three-week period.
