![]() That'll include another showdown between Jinx and Ekko as well, according to Linke.Īdditionally, Yee teased (via Netflix Queue) how the battle lines have been drawn heading into the next chapter, saying: "We ended season 1 by really pushing a lot of the characters in the show as far as we could from each other. During a Reddit Ask Me Anything session, co-creator Christian Linke summed up this season's overarching narrative with the word "war", so it sounds like we could be right on the money. Tensions were already simmering between the nations, so we wouldn’t be surprised if a full-blown conflict begins due to Jinx’s actions. What you will see in season 2 will be part of the big picture that we’ve had all along."Įxpect the brewing war between Piltover and Zaun to take center stage in Arcane season 2, too. Speaking at the 2022 BAFTAs (per The Digital Fix), showrunner Alex Yee said fans "will be happy" with the progression of Caitlyn and Vi's relationship, adding: "The way in which we wanted to roll that story out has always been sort of determined. That could lead Jayce to walk back on his promise to give Zaun its independence from Piltover, especially now that Jinx – a Zaun citizen – carried out the attack. That's because they're Jayce’s partner and Caitlyn’s mother respectively. If Mel and Cassandra die in the explosion, Jayce and Caitlyn would have major incentives to pursue Jinx. The frame doesn't look like it's from season 1 so, unless it's a deleted scene from that season, this may be our first look at Arcane season 2. It would be odd for Riot and Fortiche to ruin this potential storyline pre-release, but maybe it was intentional to see if anyone picked up on it. On Reddit, fans suspect that'll be the case, too, with some suggesting an animation frame from season 2 – glimpsed in Bridging the Rift episode 3 (more on this later) – might have revealed Cassandra has perished. In our view, Mel and Cassandra will have died or, at the very least, been severely injured. We don’t expect everyone to have survived the blast. Those present when the rocket exploded included Jayce, Mel, Viktor, Cassandra, Hoskel, Bolbok, Shoola, and Salo. If you’ve seen the final episode of Arcane's season 1, you’ll know Jinx fired a crystal rocket at Piltover’s council chamber, with many main and supporting characters trapped inside.

Its arrival is also dependent on the actors strike and writers strike, which have brought Hollywood to a standstill in recent months. Regardless, we're happy to wait for Arcane's second season, providing it's as good as (if not better) than what's come before. If the series' main creative team is adding official musical numbers to episodes at this stage, maybe its post-production phase is further along than we think. Speaking of the show's voice cast, Katie Leung – who voices Caitlyn – told Reddit user Neon_1990 that she was still conducing voice work as recently as mid-April.Įlsewhere, Linke tweeted out in mid-May that Arcane 2's soundtrack "is gonna be something very special".
