The new trailer for Arcane on Netflix hits like a bomb – and reveals when all episodes of Season 2 will be released. It’s going to be a feast.
Arcane is considered the showcase example of not just a successful but outstanding video game adaptation that excites even those who have nothing to do with League of Legends. Now Netflix has released the next trailer with the release date – and just the trailer is once again a fireworks display of action and emotions. But see for yourself what problems Vi has to deal with; both metaphorically and literally.
What can be seen in the trailer? The trailer primarily follows Vi, who apparently continues to spiral downward after the events of Season 1. She returns to what she does best: violence. As a fighter in shady clubs, she fights her way to the top, only to continue to fall from grace.
Her appearance becomes darker, along with her mental health. Time and again, she sees Caitlyn and clearly regrets having pushed her away. Vi also visually starts to resemble Jinx more and more.
The trailer ends with the release dates.
When does Arcane 2 come out? With the trailer, Arcane also announced the release date for all episodes. As with the first season, the second season will also be divided into 3 acts, each of which will be released with a week’s break in between. The dates are:
- Act 1: November 9
- Act 2: November 16
- Act 3: November 23
Be aware that the dates for the European release may vary slightly.
How the community reacts: Whether in the comments on YouTube or in the Subreddit for Arcane, the opinion is unanimous: The trailer is fantastic. This can also be strongly evaluated by the ratio of likes to dislikes. At the time of this article (September 21, 2024, 11:00 AM), the trailer has over 100,000 thumbs up – and just over 350 thumbs down. That’s 99.6% positive. Almost all comments are also positive or expectant:
- “How the hell did Fortiche manage to raise the bar even higher for their animations?” – Infinity-has
- “I believe one could write an entire essay on how Vi keeps hallucinating Caitlyn, each time accurately and flawlessly in her Enforcer uniform. Season 2 will definitely be another banger, LET’S GO!” – HelluvaFicus
- “Fortiche has outdone themselves again! This is undoubtedly the pinnacle of animation art, the number of effects and details per scene is unreal.” – n4thannstewart
- “Jeez, that was packed into 2 minutes. It will be fun to look at the details in slow motion, but I hope there is a bit more breathing room in the series because that was A LOT.” – rygorous
With Arcane 2, it seems that a real highlight is set to hit Netflix, which should be interesting not only for fans of League of Legends. Because even the first season managed to delight millions who had never laid a hand on the video game before.
However, there was trouble with Arcane 2 – as a full 5 episodes have already been leaked.
