What Will Happen in Arcane Season 2?
The second season of Arcane has an air of mystery surrounding its plot leaving us with possibilities after the Season 1 finale.
After Jinx attack, on the Piltover chambers, we are left wondering about the fate of council members who were involved in the Zaun independence vote turmoil. Jayce, a character in both the series and League of Legends game is expected to come out relatively unharmed. However, what happened to councilors Mel and Cassandra who were injured in the attack might become a driving force for Jayce and Caitlyn in Season 2.
The survival of council members like Viktor, Hoskel, Bolbok, Shoola and Salo remains uncertain. This uncertainty could have implications for the vote on Zaun’s independence since it was underway before Jinx’s hostile act.
In Season 2 we might see Hailee Steinfelds Vi and Caitlyn residing in Ekkos Firelight utopia within the undercity. Despite Jinx sparing her sister and dealing with Silco their relationship might have suffered damage.
With Silco’s demise creating a power vacuum characters such, as scientist Singed could seize this opportunity to rise to prominence by exploiting Zaun’s freedom.
There have been discussions suggesting that the creature infused with the Shimmer, in Singh’s lab Warwick, could potentially be Vander, the father of Vi and Jinx. In Season 2 it is expected to delve into the revelation that Vander is actually alive and explore how his daughters, Vi and Jinx handle this news in their unique manners. It presents an array of possibilities to anticipate!
