Arcane, against all odds, became one of the best animated series in Netflix history. Also, in a exponent of productions based on video gamessince we must not forget that it belongs to the universe of League of Legends. Of course, there has been a lot of expectation for its second season for a long time and, finally, we have the first trailer.
Although the advance of Arcaneseason 2, is quite short—just 44 seconds—it was enough to trigger the hype Up to the clouds. Because? The sequence shows singed, a key character from the first season, looking at a terrifying creature hanging from the ceiling. Apparently, it is Warwicka figure totally recognizable by fans of League of Legends.
The interesting thing doesn’t end here. When Arcane ended its first season, a theory began to gain a lot of traction among the audience. It proposes that Vander, Vi and Powder’s adoptive father, becomes Warwick by Singed. During the first delivery there are several signs that point in that direction. With the first trailer for the second season, then, the theory is reinforced.
On the other hand, it is evident that season 2 of Arcadian It will take on a darker tone. It will be very interesting to see what Riot Games and Netflix are preparing, since the lore of League of Legends It lends itself to innumerable narratives.
The second season of Arcane It’s finally coming this year…
The bad news is that there is still a lot left to enjoy the second season of Arcadianwhich is scheduled to premiere November of this year. Of course, it still does not have a specific date.
Why did it take so long for season 2 to arrive? Arcane? According to Nicolo Laurent, CEO of Riot Games, not even they expected that the first episodes would be so successful. Consequently, they had no obligation to step on the accelerator to have the second delivery ready.
“If we had known we could have started much sooner, but we had no idea. So we waited a little and now we are paying the price.”

Another factor that has influenced the delay is that Riot and Netflix They do not plan to sacrifice the quality of Arcane to shorten times. The first season was acclaimed precisely for its incredible visuals, and the goal is to maintain that same standard with the new episodes. It’s a more than right decision, honestly.
As mentioned before, Arcane It took Netflix by storm. It had a lot to do with the fact that its premiere occurred during the pandemic, when many were confined at home. The audience, including the millions of fans of League of Legends, they responded favorably. In a matter of days, she surpassed The squid game as the most popular content on the service.
Arcane, on the other hand, received excellent reviews from the specialized press. Nowadays, boasts a 100% recommendation on Rotten Tomatoes —and 96% from the public—, a percentage dreamed of by any production, not just those based on video games. Will the second season maintain the same level? I hope so…
