Netflix recently shared a teaser for Arcane, but the streaming giant hasn't revealed many plot details for the show yet. However, it looks like Arcane will be centered around the relationship between Vi and Jinx, and the split between two of Runeterra's great cities: Zaun and Piltover. It's likely that the show will take place in those cities because all of the Champions revealed are from those two cities. The first trailer for Arcane featured Jinx poking around an old fighting studio, intercut with clips of Vi.

Arcane is set to release on Netflix in Fall 2021. Riot Games and Netflix will debut the new trailer for Arcane on Sept. 25, during Netflix's global Tudum fan event.
