The brief glance might perhaps well also now not appear to be worthy first and fundamental come all over, but there is truly rather plenty we can rob away from it. For one part, or now not it’s the first glance at Vi in enforcer armor, considered side-by-side with Caitlyn, who’s similarly suited-up.

It’s being taken as affirmation that we’re going to certainly peep Vi change into an enforcer in Season 2 — which mustn’t be a immense shock, on condition that the persona’s an enforcer in League of Legends, but fans are tranquil pleasing hyped (if a minute bit worried for Vi herself, significantly fascinated with what enforcers did to her and Jinx’s other folks).

Unnecessary to snarl, Arcane will not be any stranger to time jumps, as the first season saw the placement jump ahead lots of years after the first three episodes.
And if it certainly is Ren (which, but again, we’re precise theorizing right here), that would tease even extra about what Season 2 has in retailer. As folks that watched Season 1 can take into accout, Marcus, a foul Piltover sheriff who modified into working with Silco, modified into killed by an explosion quick by Jinx, along along with his enforcers. May perhaps well Ren be shopping for revenge?
Halt spoilers.
