Arcane ends with season 2, and the trailer finds the cities locked in all-out war

The second season of Arcane, which will be released in November, will also be the final chapter. A new trailer from Netflix gives us a glimpse of what to expect from season 2, and it looks like Zaun and Piltover are in an active war.

At the end of ArcaneIn her first season, Jinx fired her ultimate missile into Piltover’s council chamber. Fans weren’t sure what this meant for the council, but based on this trailer, it sounds like the missile successfully killed them. Mel’s mother, Ambessa Medarda, will join the squad League of Legends champions in the future – pushes for active aggression from Piltover, and both Caitlyn and Vi are suited to lead the Enforcers operations in Zaun to find Jinx, take out Shimmer, and remove any remaining Silco loyalists. Based on the trailer’s colorful explosions, striking graffiti, and dramatic execution, we can guess that Jinx won’t turn himself in peacefully.

We also see glimpses of Ekko, Heimerdinger, Sevika, and a few other characters – including a Yordle with prosthetic limbs that open into deadly extended multi-claws. These characters are all wildcards that could change the trajectory of the war, so it will be interesting to see how these storylines come together.

The trailer ends with a preview of a full-on fight between Vi and Jinx; the relationship between the sisters has been the core Arcane‘s story. We’ll have to wait until November to see exactly how that dynamic unfolds – but it certainly seems that Silco’s death, Jinx’s attack and Ambessa’s influence have led to a much more dangerous and chaotic situation in both Piltover and Zaun.
