Vi and Caitlyn seemingly share romantic chemistry in Arcane: League of Legends, though are not yet officially a couple. During a scene in Arcane, the show all but confirms that Caitlyn is gay. Vi also calls Caitlyn “hot,” along with referring to her as “cupcake” — generally an endearing pet name.

In-game, Jinx and Vi are sisters and bitter enemies, though this story fades into the background of the action, appearing only in small voice lines and character descriptions.
In the climactic final shot, viewers saw a rocket propelled from a launcher made by Jinx utilizing the arcane crystal soar through the blood-red sky and into the window of the council meeting room.

The streaming giant's penchant of tapping video games for new movies and shows has seen it pick up the likes of League of Legends rival, Dota 2, Tomb Raider, Castlevania, as well as Resident Evil, Cuphead, Assassin's Creed, and of course, The Witcher.

So far, Riot Games has made a tremendous amount of effort to expand the League of Legends brand. In addition to the anime, there are comic books, a digital card game, a mobile game, and even a board game, all based on League of Legends.

League of Legends on Netflix confirmed on Twitter. They made an announcement that they are teaming up with Riot Games for an animated series . On May 3, 2021, the Netflix team took to their official Twitter handle and made an announcement that they are teaming up with Riot Games for an animated series set in the League of Legends anime.
With more than a million gamers worldwide, the video game now has complex deeply-rooted lore that deserves to be explored in other formats as well. With the recent announcement of the game’s anime adaptation, it really looks like Riot Games has been looking out for potential opportunities to expand to different venues. Many fans of the game had speculated that Riot Games would have something special in store for them on their 10th Anniversary but little did they know that the creators would now be willing to explore a whole new medium.
The backstories and lore of ‘ League of Legends ‘ have always been extensively vast with tons of characters and themes involved in it. So an animated series does make a lot of sense. Unfortunately, as of now, nothing much about its plot has been revealed by Riot Games. But from the recent trailer of the series itself, we can deduce some of our own theories about it.
Riot has announced that Arcane will premiere in autumn 2021, though they haven't set a specific date yet.
As part of the flood of information for Riot's 10th anniversary event, there was a special shocker: Arcane, a new animated TV series set in the League of Legends universe that's being produced entirely in-house at Riot Games.
The first season of the ARCANE: LoL TV show was streaming exclusively on Netflix and China’s Tencent Video in Fall 2021. It was originally scheduled to release in 2020, but it was delayed due to the COVID pandemic.
Thus, the ARCANE Season 2 release date will be in late 2022 or 2023.
Unfortunately, the total number of episodes for ARCANE is nine in all. There are currently no plans for an ARCANE Act 4 release date, or an ARCANE Episode 10.
Netflix has confirmed that ARCANE will have a Season 2 now that Jinx left fans hanging with a big Fishbones cliffhanger ending in Episode 9. There are many stories that ARCANE Season 2 could tell in the Runeterra cinematic universe, but when will ARCANE: League of Legends Season 2 come out?
The brief ARCANE: League of Legends Season 2 trailer notably did not include any characters or hints about the upcoming story plot. It’s just an animated logo, which is probably an indication that beginning actual work on the ARCANE sequel was waiting until they were greenlit for production.
And now we know that Netflix is having ARCANE renewed. Riot may have planned out the sequel in advance but now Netflix is probably demanding it considering the astounding streaming numbers, never mind the huge variety of story options for ARCANE Season 2.
