The short trailer revealed a few important details regarding Arcane's plot. The video commences with a fight between League of Legends champions Jinx and Vi. They share the screen with another mysterious character, who possesses some kind of lightning-powered weapon.

It would seem reasonable to assume that the story will feature the origin stories of Jinx and Vi. The new third character might play a crucial role in the fight between the two young ladies.

The trailer also hinted at a backstory for Runeterra's two important cities: Piltover and Zaun. There is also the possibility of Teemo, Ezreal, Viktor, Warwick, Caitlyn, and other League of Legends characters, dwelling in that region making appearances in the latter part of the series.

The last scene of the trailer teasing "Coming This Fall" gave fans a general idea that they would have to wait another 5-6 months before Arcane makes its debut on Netflix. The series is being produced by Riot Games in collaboration with Fortiche Productions.

The latter has worked with Riot on multiple occasions in the past, mostly focusing on the production of cinematics and music videos featuring League of Legends.
