Some fans on Reddit have speculated the series to drop in November as season 1 premiered at the same time. In 2024, Riot Games will be celebrating the 15th year anniversary of League of Legends, making fans believe that it will be released in November around the anniversary.
Either way, this means that fans will have to wait 3 years for season 2. Keeping in mind that Season 1 took them 6 years to make, 3 years is still a reasonable time for the way.
The Success of Arcane Season 1
Upon launch, season 1 of Arcane immediately became the number 1 trending show on Netflix. It also boasts a perfect 100% rotten tomato rating. The series resonated with many fans of the game and also got non-players into the lore of League of Legends.
