- ยซI just watched episode 3 of season 2 before my flight so we’re making progress. It’s not finished yet and there are two reasons for that. First, we want quality. We just don’t want to rush anything. We honestly didn’t know if the first season would be a success. [โฆ] If we had known that, we could have started Season 2 much sooner. But we didn’t know, so we waited a bit. Now we pay the price. Therefore, unfortunately, it will not appear this year.ยป.
Arcane Summary
The story takes place in the cities of Piltover and Zaun. Although Arcane only focuses on these two cities, they belong to the world of Runeterra. Piltover is the academic and scientific and prosperous city, while Zaun is the opposite, with suburbs filled with crime, poverty and toxic chemicals where there is no authority whatsoever. The tensions and rivalries that exist between these two towns divide families and friends, as in the case of Vi and Powder, two of Zaun’s sisters; or Jayce and Viktor, two inventor friends and apprentices of legendary scientist Heimerdinger. All of these relationships will overflow with the creation of hextech in Piltover, a technology that allows anyone to control magical energy, while in Zaun a new drug will turn people into monsters.
