Jinx Returns in New Arcane Season 2 Teaser and Poster (2024)

League of Legends TV adaptation Arcane releases a new poster of Jinx, one of the most iconic characters from the series, as well as a video teaser on their Twitter/X ahead of their upcoming trailer.

Hype is mounting for the new season of Arcane, and the series' Twitter/X account is happy to stoke the flames with more teasers. Just last week, a poster of Caitlyn--the Enforcer who is hot on Jinx's tail--was released featuring Jinx's image on a conspiracy board covered in red string, with Caitlyn staring intensely at the viewer. This poster further proved what the most recent trailer as of this writing had already hinted at: that Caitlyn is determined to hunt down Jinx and stop her once and for all. Now, Jinx gets her turn in the spotlight with her own poster.

"Time to turn things upside down," the post hosting the poster reads, both pointing to how Jinx has disrupted everything in the previous season's explosive finale and hinting at more insanity to come. Jinx as a character certainly has an "upside down" approach to life, with her trauma causing her to act erratically and see the world (both real and in her mind) with blistering neon colors. Fittingly, the poster features her hanging upside down, with her iconic braids framing her face. The lighting has a purple hue, and her pink eyes stand out brightly. Unlike Caitlyn's poster, where Caitlyn's determination was clearly writ on her face, Jinx's expression is harder to read, both soft and ominous at the same time.

The short video teaser higlights the growing tension between the utopian city of Piltover and its oppressed underbelly, Zaun. Caitlyn looks over the city in full uniform as Ambessa, Mel's mother, warns that Piltover "must declare martial law", showing how Jinx's destruction has caused Piltover to crack down on Zaun when they had just previously been considering giving the underclass city independence. Soliders march and strike down dissenters. Meanwhile, on Zaun's side, Sevika declares that Piltover is "the real enemy" and that Jinx has the potential to "rally the undercity together". Images of Jinx in the street with citizens of Zaun placing their hands on her as they pass and a painting of Jinx with her fist in the air show that Jinx's actions have brought the fractured city together to fight a common enemy. The deep rift between the two cities grows deeper still.

Arcane is Looking as Good as Ever

The teasers released showcasing footage from Arcane show that Studio Fortiche--the studio behind the show--has not lost their touch for gorgeous, striking visuals. The animation of the first season, with its distinct, hand-painted look, was declared by many to be revolutionary for 3D animation. The new season continues to push that beautiful look. Beyond just the sheer talent and innovation behind the animation itself, however, is the compelling shot composition packed with intensity and drama. Each shot is the perfect balance of motion, color, and composition. Every frame truly is a painting here.

The excitement for the final season of Arcane continues to snowball as audiences see more and more teasers. Each poster reignites the hype. Even just the trailer, releasing September 5, is causing excitement that most full TV show releases can't touch. Season 2 is looking to be the big TV event of the year, the kind that keeps people talking about it for weeks. If you haven't seen season one yet, there's still time to catch up on Netflix before season two becomes a cultural sensation.

Season 2 of Arcane debuts on Netflix in November.
