Arcane Season 2 is slated for a November release on Netflix, and fans of the League of Legends animated show will have a great way to rewatch Season 1 beforehand. Arcane Season 1 is coming to Blu-ray on October 8, and multiple editions are available to preorder at Amazon, including limited-edition 4K steelbook and standard Blu-ray steelbook editions, each of which has a unique collectible cover.
$60
The 4K Blu-ray edition comes with a steelbook case featuring Jinx cover art and is currently priced at $60. With Amazon’s preorder price guarantee, if you order now, you’ll get the 4K Blu-ray for the lowest price offered by Amazon until release. You won’t be charged until your order ships.
For this release, there’ll be over three hours of bonus features in addition to the entire nine-episode run of Arcane. 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 these extras:
- 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
$55
The standard 1080p Blu-ray is also getting a steelbook edition, but this one features Vi, Jinx’s sister. Big League of Legends and Arcane fans will have to preorder both to get these complementary steelbook cases. You’ll get the same bonus features with the Blu-ray release.
At the moment, limited-edition Blu-ray preorders are $55 at Amazon, which is only five bucks less than the 4K edition. But just like with the 4K edition, you’ll be backed by Amazon’s preorder price guarantee. Many Blu-rays eventually receive preorder discounts, so we’ll update this Arcade preorder guide if the price of either edition changes.
If you don’t care about steelbook cases, you can preorder the standard edition Arcane Blu-ray for $45 (it also has different cover art).
For Arcane fans looking to go all out, there’s an Arcane collector’s edition available from GKids Films. Normally $200, it has been discounted to $150 and includes original artwork, a diecast D20 dice, resin dice, a velvet dice pouch, double-sided poster, six art cards, and a fabric map.
With elaborate and imaginative animation, production on the sequel series has taken a long time, but the second and final season will debut on Netflix in a few months. The first season 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.
Arcane is one of the best animated shows in recent years, but Season 2 will sadly be its final season.
