After a long wait, Arcane fans can finally celebrate: Season 2 is just around the corner! It’s been quite a journey—Season 1 took a whopping six years to make, as former Riot Games CEO Nicolo Laurent shared. The first season dropped on November 7, 2021, and now, almost three years to the day, we’re ready for the next chapter. With Arcane hype riding high after an epic League of Legends Worlds final, the timing couldn’t be better.
Here’s everything you need to know about what’s coming next!

What’s Arcane Season 2 About?
Let’s be honest—it’s been so long, a refresher watch of Season 1 might be in order! And with good reason: Arcane isn’t just a great adaptation; it’s one of the best video game-inspired shows ever. Season 2 will be the final chapter, bringing every unresolved storyline to a conclusion in just nine episodes.
Now that Powder (aka Jinx) is all grown up, we’ll see the fallout from her choices in Season 1. Jinx’s descent into madness was intense, and from the looks of the trailer, the consequences are explosive. The season promises a showdown between Jinx and Vi, with plenty of action and emotion. Hopefully, we’ll get some sort of reconciliation between them—but who knows what twists await until that final episode.
As Heimerdinger wisely puts it, “It’s never a dull moment.”
