The official trailer for Arcane season 2 is lastly right here, and it is each bit as epic, explosive, and thrilling as I hoped it will be.
Released at the moment (September 5) and set to the unique track ‘Paint The Town Blue’ by Ashnikko, the highly-rated and award-winning Netflix present’s newest teaser is way extra action-oriented and fast-paced than the primary teaser was. Indeed, the arrival of Arcane season 2’s first trailer in June actually set the stall out for a bleaker and chaotic remaining season, however this one goes a lot tougher from drama and motion views than its forebear.

The latter level is to be anticipated, actually, contemplating all-out warfare is about to erupt between the idyllic, progressive, and aristocratic metropolis of Piltover and its poorer, extra rundown cousin generally known as Zaun. That was at all times a given after Jinx’s assault on Piltover’s Council Chamber, which most of the realm’s dignitaries had assembled in previous to stated strike. But, with Jinx – who’s now seen as a revolutionary by Zaun’s residents – seemingly put in because the undercity’s protector-in-chief, Zaun can be taking the struggle to Piltover as a lot because the latter’s leaders can be searching for revenge on the City of Iron and Glass.
There’s loads extra to pore over in among the best Netflix exhibits’ newest teasers – and I’m not exaggerating once I say there’s lots to unpack from its two-minute-long video. For starters, we get temporary glimpses at Vi’s showdowns along with her estranged sister Jinx and one other League of Legends (LoL) champion within the monstrous Warwick, whose origin story seems to have been retconned to tie it to considered one of season 1’s deceased heroic characters. We’re additionally handled to new appears to be like at established team-ups between Vi and Ekko, and Jinx and Sevika. Other returning characters, together with Singed, Ambessa, and Heimerdinger, are dotted all through the teaser, too, which suggests they’re going to have outstanding roles to play in Arcane‘s sophomore season.
If that wasn’t sufficient, season 2’s official trailer additionally hints on the arrival of latest characters – a few of whom had been seen in considered one of season 2’s very first teasers, plus others who we’ve not met but – and a a lot deeper dive into LoL lore which may arrange future LoL TV and film diversifications. Arcane co-creator Christian Linke has additionally confirmed that extra of Riot Games’ beloved videogame franchise’s heroes and world, which known as Runeterra, can be retold in different mediums. It’s doable, then, that occasions that transpire in season 2 will act as leaping off factors for tales which are being developed by Riot in partnership with Netflix and Fortiche Production. The latter directed and produced Arcane‘s animation, beneath the path of the founders Pascal Charrue and Arnaud Delord.
As pumped up as I’m to look at Arcane‘s second and remaining season on the world’s finest streaming service – it is considered one of 14 exhibits I am unable to look forward to in late 2024 – its newest trailer did not present solutions to 1 massive thriller surrounding the present’s return: its launch date.
Prior to the official trailer’s reveal, I expressed hope that it will lastly reveal season 2 would make its Netflix debut. Unfortunately, my prayers went unanswered, so now I’m absolutely anticipating a launch date announcement to be revealed at Netflix Geeked Week 2024’s dwell occasion, which takes place on September 19 and can reveal extra particulars about Arcane season 2. Don’t let me down once more, Netflix and Riot, or I’ll cry like Jinx voice actor Ella Purnell did whereas she recorded strains for season 2’s remaining episode.
