Netflix has just released a new teaser for the highly anticipated second and final season of its Emmy-winning series Arcane titled Mysterious. The trailer is packed with high-octane explosive action.
Arcane Season 2, produced in collaboration between game developer Riot Games and French animation studio Fortische, comes hot on the heels of the first season of the Netflix series. In summary, Jinx commits a terrorist act against the Council, igniting a full-blown war between Piltover and Zuan. And naturally, the besieged brothers Jinx and Vi find themselves at the heart of the events. The latter has become a new officer in Piltover. While previous teasers stirred loyalties between the two, today’s promotional clip, “Come Play”, reveals what viewers can expect when the incendiary enemies clash – all to the beat of Stray Kids, Young Miko, and Tom Morello’s new song (“Come Play”) from the Arcane bold new soundtrack. The trailer for this season features a high-speed action scene where Vi and Caitlyn Kirraman, Ekko, Heimerdinger, and Ambessa face off against Jinx and Sevika. Check it out below.
At the end of the teaser, Netflix reminds viewers that Season 2 of Arcane will be released in three chapters. Chapter 1 will be released on November 9th, Chapter 2 on November 16th, and Chapter 3 on November 23rd.
