With Arcane Season 2, the story of Jinx, Vi, and Piltover ended, but the world still has a lot to offer, and the fate of some characters is unknown. However, the story of one character continues, and a video for the new League of Legends season shows how.
Attention Spoiler: The following article contains minor spoilers for Arcane Season 2
What is this new video about? On the official League of Legends channel, the YouTube video Welcome to Noxus
has been released. This is the new cinematic video for the new season of LoL 2025. Like the season itself, the video focuses on the Noxus region.
But the video is not only exciting for LoL players. If you are a fan of Arcane, you should also watch the video because Riot collaborated with Fortiche, the animation studio behind Arcane, to produce it.
But that’s not all. In Arcane style, we get a first glimpse of the region that was only mentioned in the background of the series. The special highlight is an important character from Arcane, who continues their journey in the video.
You can watch the video here:
A hidden villain from Arcane is seen for the first time
What can be seen in the video? The video shows various aspects related to the Noxus region. Ambessa Medarda hails from this region, which is known for its brutal warfare.
In one part of the video, we see a young Darius confronting the troll king Trundle. We witness a brutal fight in a location that looks like the border to the snowy area of Freljord. Darius even seems to emerge victorious from the battle.
In another fight, the assassin Katarina and a member of the Black Rose, Elise, face off. You can even see Elise transform into her spider form.
Another aspect of the video features Mel Medarda, who is on her way to Noxus at the end of Arcane Season 2. The video shows her arriving with her fleet and looking at ruins and landscapes. Her powers are also seen again. Mel Medarda will be the next new champion in League of Legends.
The big highlight of the video is the end, where we get a glimpse of LeBlanc for the first time, who was only seen as a shadow in Arcane. She talks to Vladimir about Piltover and an impending catastrophe. LeBlanc also says that they need to take bolder steps now.
The great evil that threatens Runeterra
What could this mean for future continuations? After Arcane, there will be more series from the same universe and the Noxus region would be perfect for this, as characters and stories from the region have already been mentioned in Arcane.
The great evil that LeBlanc speaks of could be Mordekaiser. He was a former warlord who lived a long time ago. Through necromantic abilities, he is virtually immortal and can create an army of undead. However, Mordekaiser was betrayed, and his plans were thwarted for the time being.
LeBlanc may be preparing for his return, which is why she wants Mel’s power by her side. Mordekaiser would threaten not only Noxus but all of Runeterra with his power.
