Netflix’s popular League of Legends animated series, Arcane, premiered its first season on November 6, 2021. Just two weeks after its release, it received confirmation for a second season. Since that date, fans of the series have been eagerly counting the days. However, despite the passage of a long time, no information had been provided about Arcane Season 2. Now, the release date for the second season has finally been announced, albeit belatedly.
When is the release date for Arcane Season 2?
Arcane’s Season 2 is expected to be released towards the end of next year. The news of the series’ return, as shared on Twitter by LeagueOfLeaks, appears to have been announced during the 2024 Video V Vision Conference by Riot Games’ parent company, Tencent. According to Tencent, the new season will premiere in November 2024.
This also means that the release date of Arcane Season 2 will be almost simultaneous with the 15th-anniversary celebration of League of Legends. Earlier this year, Riot Games CEO Nicolo Laurent mentioned in an interview that there was no rush for the series to return, and it wouldn’t be possible to release it in 2023 because the team wanted to match the quality of the first season.
The second season, developed within three years, was worked on for three years less than the first season, which had a development time of six years. If we look at viewer comments, many people are complaining about the delayed release of the second season. Additionally, they don’t want the upcoming season to be limited to just Piltover and Zaun, as the first season was.
If Riot Games and LCS players fail to reach an agreement, North American teams may not be able to participate in the LOL World Championship.
The subject of Arcane
Piltover is a wealthy city where science and technology thrive. Jinx and Vi, who live here, come from a poor and toxic city called Zaun. Jinx was a child living in Zaun, and Vi was both her sister and guardian. However, Jinx leaves Zaun after a laboratory accident, and the paths of Jinx and Vi diverge.
The series delves into Jinx’s dark past and her entry into the criminal underworld of Piltover, while Vi works in the Piltover police department. When Vi discovers her sister’s true identity, she does everything in her power to save her. However, as tensions rise between Piltover and Zaun, the conflict between the two sisters intensifies.
In the series, alongside the story, there exists a fantastical world. In this world, powerful crystals and hextech technology are used to create formidable weapons and devices. Additionally, some individuals possess hextech crystals and gain special abilities by harnessing the powers of these crystals.
