Act 1 of Arcane Season 2 is now available to stream on Netflix. If you need to refresh for your memory before diving back into the superb League of Legends animated adaptation, you could either rewatch Season 1 on Netflix or pick up one of the recently released physical editions. And there are multiple compelling reasons to do the latter. Arcane Season 1’s 4K Blu-ray Limited Edition comes with a steelbook case as well as three hours of special features, and it’s on sale for only $35 (was $60) at Amazon. This is the best price yet for the 4K Blu-ray, which launched last month and features exclusive character art of Jinx.
The standard Blu-ray release also has a Limited Edition Steelbook with Jinx’s sister Vi on the cover. At the moment, the 4K Limited Edition Steelbook is actually slightly cheaper than the 1080p Blu-ray, which is priced at $35.72 (was $55). If you don’t care about steelbook cases and want the standard 1080p Blu-ray, you can get the non-steelbook release for $32.44 (was $45).
Netflix is releasing the second and final season of Arcane in three acts with three episodes each. The first act debuted on November 9. Part 2 will be available to stream starting November 16, and Arcane’s final three episodes will land on Netflix on November 23. Just like Season 1, Arcane Season 2 has nine episodes.

Arcane’s 4K Blu-ray Limited Edition Steelbook features Jinx cover art and is on sale for $35. It’s unclear when Amazon’s deal ends, but retail price is $60, so you’re saving $25. This edition comes with three 4K discs and a standard Blu-ray disc with special features.
Arcane Season 1’s physical editions include the full nine-episode arc and three hours of special features. Fans can go behind the scenes of Arcane with exclusive conversations involving key creative talent and writers, numerous scene breakdowns from the animation staff at studio Fortiche, making-of videos, and more.
Here’s the full breakdown of the bonus features
- Bridging the Rift: The Making of Arcane
- “Making Mel” featurette
- “Happy Progress Day” scene breakdown
- “When these walls come tumbling down” scene breakdown
- Ekko vs Jinx: scene breakdown
- “The monster you created” scene breakdown
$35.72 (was $55)
At the moment, the standard 1080p Blu-ray Limited Edition Steelbook is roughly the same price as the 4K Limited Edition, so if you have a device capable of playing 4K Blu-rays, you’ll certainly want to opt for the 4K release.
But the $20 discount is nice for those who want to own both steelbooks, as the standard Blu-ray Limited Edition Steelbook features Vi, Jinx’s sister.
Again, if you have no interest in steelbook cases, you can buy the standard edition Arcane Blu-ray with different cover art for $32.44 (was $45).
Both 1080p Blu-ray sets include three discs and the same three hours of special features as the 4K edition.
With elaborate and imaginative animation, production on the sequel series took a long time, but the second and final season is finally here. Season 1 featured a stacked cast of performers, including Hailee Steinfeld (Vi), Annie Award winner Ella Purnell (Jinx), Katie Leung (Caitlyn), Reed Shannon (Ekko), Amirah Vann (Sevika), Mick Wingert (Heimerdinger), Ellen Thomas (Ambessa), and Brett Tucker (Singed).
Set in the League of Legends universe–the massively popular video game franchise made by made by Riot Games–Arcane follows iconic League champions Vi and Jinx as they get caught up in the power struggles between the utopian city of Piltover and the oppressed underground city of Zaun. Debuting in November 2021, the show received critical acclaim for its storytelling, incredible animation, and getting that one Imagine Dragons song stuck in your head for several months.
