'Arcane' Season 2 coming to Netflix in November 2024

Netflix

Fans of Arcane, the League of Legends' spinoff series, will have to wait a bit longer for the second season. Netflix revealed during its Geeked Week event on Thursday that the show will return in November 2024. The announcement did not reveal much about the second season's plot, but we know it will explore new locations and characters from the League of Legends universe. Season 1 hinted at Noxus, another major city in the world of Runeterra. We can also expect to see more familiar champions from the game, but we have to wait for a trailer to find out who they are.

The second season will follow the same release schedule as the first one, which debuted on Nov. 6, 2021. However, the exact date in November 2024 is still unknown. The show will continue to be produced by Fortiche Studios and Riot Games, the same team behind the first season. Arcane will also feature the same voice cast, including Hailee Steinfeld as Vi, Ella Purnell as Jinx, Katie Leung as Caitlyn, and more.

Riot Games plans to delay 'League of Legends' patch after a cybersecurity breach

Source: Riot Games

If you've been waiting for the next update for League of Legends, you might have to wait a bit more. Riot Games, the studio behind LoL and Valorant, announced that its development systems were compromised during a social engineering attack that happened early in the week. Riot wanted to emphasize that its player data and personal information haven't been compromised but it has "temporarily affected" its ability to release content. Riot said, "While our teams are working hard on a fix, we expect this to impact our upcoming patch cadence across multiple games."

For LoL, this impacts the version 13.2 update expected to come out on January 25. “Nothing that would have been in 13.2 will be cancelled, we might just have to move things that can't be hotfixed (e.g. art changes) to a later date instead,” Andrei van Roon, the head of Riot’s League Studio, added. There's another patch arriving in February, so we might see it then.

Netflix Games gets Riot's latest 'League of Legends' spinoff

Netflix is adding a couple of titles to its growing lineup of mobile games. We get the League of Legends spinoff, Hextech Mayhem, and Dungeon Dwarves this time. Hextech Mayhem is a rhythm runner that features characters and locales from League of Legends. It's developed by Choice Provisions and published by Riot's Riot Forge publishing arm. The game has already launched on consoles and the PC and is now the most prominent game available on the streaming service.

Meanwhile, Hyper Hippo's Dungeon Dwarves is an idle dungeon crawler that will continue to play if the app isn't active. You control a party of five dwarves who beat down walls and monsters to reclaim their underground home bit by bit. When you aren't playing, the dwarves will continue their expedition, rewarding you with loot and weapons when you return. Both games are free to play and ad-free on Android and iOS. All you need is an active Netflix subscription.
