Arcane season 2 on Netflix adapts the Riot Games series and includes plenty of nods to wider LoL lore. Here is a list of the best ones we could find.
There are a lot of reasons to like Arcane, Netflix’s animated series set in the world of League of Legends: the dazzling animation, the creative use of original music, the compelling relationships. But one of the more impressive things about the show to me is how restrained it is about throwing in references and Easter eggs to the source material.
Unlike a lot of other IP-driven shows, Arcane isn’t just a nonstop barrage of “Hey, I recognize that!” moments. That helps keep the show’s emotional moments from feeling cheap, and it also makes the moments where the show does drop in a reference to the world of Runeterra stand out more. (Especially now that Arcane is also League canon and there’s plenty of in-game tie-ins.)
Here are the best moments we’ve spotted in season 2 so far. Any we missed? Drop the ones you saw in the comments.
[Ed. note: This post understandably contains spoilers for Act 1 of Arcane season 2 (or through the first three episodes).
