by

Key Takeaways

  • Arcane Season 2 will serve as a duology, ending Vi and Jinx’s story explosively to pave the way for more League of Legends tales.
  • Season 2’s trailer hints at Vander’s possible return through the character of Warwick.
  • The fate of key characters including Jayce, Viktor, and Mel remains uncertain heading into Season 2.

As a dedicated fan who’s been following the world of Runeterra since its inception, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming season of Arcane! With Vi and Jinx’s story coming to an explosive conclusion, it feels like we’re on the brink of uncovering more secrets from this captivating universe.

There isn’t much time left before the second and concluding season of “Arcane” premieres on Netflix, and promotional efforts for the “League of Legends” adaptation are at their peak. A recently released trailer for “Arcane” seems to suggest that a beloved character might make an appearance in Season 2, potentially validating a widely-held fan theory.

Although the Netflix series about Vi and Jinx has gained a lot of attention, their story will only span two seasons, with Arcane concluding in Season 2. This decision is made to pave the way for more stories set within the world of League of Legends. The second season is expected to be action-packed as all the foundational elements from Season 1 will reach a climactic conclusion. There are several unanswered questions that the second season needs to address, such as the fate of Piltover’s council members following Jinx’s missile attack and whether Vi and Jinx’s relationship can be restored after their differences.

Arcane Season 2 Trailer Blends The Past and Future

On October 16th, Netflix unveiled a fresh series teaser for “Arcane” on YouTube. This trailer serves as a summary of Season 1 while subtly revealing what viewers can expect in Season 2. The storyline of “Arcane” spans several years, introducing Jinx and Vi as children at the start (Act 1), then fast-forwarding to show them as young adults. The new trailer outlines the significant journey the characters undertake in “Arcane,” featuring both living and deceased characters.

A significant figure in the trailer is Vander, who serves as Jinx and Vi’s adoptive father. After their biological parents were killed by enforcers, Vander takes them under his wing and raises them in the undercity. He teaches Vi combat skills and instills a sense of responsibility in her as the elder sibling. This protective role is emphasized in the recent Arcane trailer, where Vander advises Vi to “guard the family,” motivating her to search for Powder after she is freed from prison years later. However, in Episode 3 of Arcane, Vander makes a heart-wrenching sacrifice by injecting himself with Shimmer to protect Vi, Claggor, and Mylo from Silco. Tragedy strikes when Powder’s monkey bomb detonates the building, seemingly taking Vander’s life. Yet, it remains uncertain whether he might still be alive.

A Closer Look at Werewolf Warwick

Among Arcane fans, there’s a widely discussed speculation that Vander might reappear in Season 2 of Arcane, possibly transformed into something else. One character who seems poised to make an entrance in the upcoming season is Warwick, the League of Legends champion known for his werewolf abilities enhanced by technology and chemicals. Hints of Warwick’s arrival were subtly dropped in Season 1, with a large, wolf-like creature suspended from Singed’s laboratory ceiling, connected to various pumps.

In the trailer for Arcane’s series, Warwick is tormented once more, with a scene featuring an imposing werewolf shadow and fiery red eyes. It seems that the mysterious creature Singed was developing in Season 1 will be utilized in Season 2. While it hasn’t been confirmed, fans speculate that this creature could be used to revive Vander. Since Vander’s body was never found following the explosion, it’s plausible that Singed retrieved it for his experiments. Given Vander’s already impressive strength as a human, Singed may have chosen him for his research in an attempt to create a more potent weapon. Furthermore, Warwick has a limited backstory in League of Legends lore, so resurrecting Vander could help expand Warwick’s character while also tying into the storyline of Arcane.

In the storyline of “Arcane”, there’s a pattern of events coming back around, and introducing Vander again in Season 2 might offer an intriguing contrast for its characters, especially Vi and Jinx. If Vander does appear, it could put Vi in a position to confront her father, mirroring how Jinx faced off against Silco in Season 1. The death of Vander is something that continues to torment Jinx, so his return could help alleviate some of the trauma she’s experiencing. The latest “Arcane” trailer seems to hint at Vander’s potential return, which suggests this could be a setup for his appearance in Season 2.

Will Other Characters Return in Arcane Season 2?

Initially, it may appear that Arcane’s fresh series trailer is signaling the comeback of certain characters whose lives seem uncertain, notably Mel, Jayce, and Viktor. These three were seen in the council chambers during Jinx’s assault, but the suspenseful ending of Arcane Season 1 leaves us questioning whether any of them made it through. Upon careful examination of the trailer clips, though, it becomes clear that the scenes depicting Jayce, Viktor, and Mel transpired in Season 1, leaving their survival uncertain.

As a passionate gamer immersed in the world of Arcane, I can’t help but feel a chill down my spine at the thought that major characters might not make it through Season 2. With the series nearing its conclusion, no one is invulnerable to the brutal realities of this fantastical realm.

In three separate installments, the second season of the mysterious series, Arcane, is scheduled for release on Netflix on November 9th, 16th, and 23rd.
