‘Arcane’ Season 2 Gets a Lavish Home Release, Just in Time for Emmy Season

With Emmy season in full swing and a lot of eyes on whether Riot Games and Fortiche’s League of Legends studio will sweep an already steep competitive lineup of animated shows, GKids has announced a slew of home release pre-order editions for Arcane season two, freeing it from the confines of streaming.

In a press release, GKids announced that the home release of Arcane season two will feature a limited-run Collector’s Edition. This will include SteelBook Editions in both 4K UHD and Blu-ray formats, a standard Blu-ray edition, and options for Digital Download-to-Own. Bonus features in Arcane‘s home release will include an artist gallery, a writer’s room, and artist breakdowns of its three acts, as well as storyboards and music videos. All editions of Arcane season two are available for pre-order on GKids’ website.

GKids’ home video pre-orders announcement for Arcane season two comes following the animated video game adaptation’s two Emmy nominations for Outstanding Animated Program and Outstanding Sound Editing. In the series’ history, Arcane has been nominated for seven Emmys, making it one of the most decorated video game-adapted series ever. To celebrate this achievement, Fortiche released an illustration of Jinx, a tradition it’s established whenever Arcane is mentioned during awards season.

Given that 2024 was a banner year for animation, it remains to be seen if Arcane can achieve similar success with its second and final season, potentially bringing home more awards. This success has notably legitimized video game adaptations as a valuable and worthwhile pursuit in the entertainment industry, one worth nurturing—especially for Riot Games—in the years to come.

Humbled to receive nominations at this year’s #Emmys, including Outstanding Animated Program. Congratulations to cast and crew 💙

While we preferred season one of Arcane over season two, io9’s review celebrated the show for its poignant queer representation and its extraordinary animation. Fortunately, aside from Riot Games’ “Timebombâ€-focused post-show music video, the company isn’t showing any signs of slowing down in producing more animated adventures within the expansive world of League of Legends. In other words, fans can look forward to exploring different narratives from the game without having to play League itself—something both Riot Games co-founder Marc Merrill and players caution curious Netflix viewers about.

Both seasons of Arcane are available to stream on Netflix.
