Arcane season 2 premiered on November 9, 2024, continuing to captivate fans with its gripping storyline. This season delves deeper into Vi and Jinx's increasingly strained relationship following the events of Season 1.

Many fans have wondered about the age of the characters in the series. Showrunner Amanda Overton clarified the characters' ages in a retweet from 2021 on X, revealing that Vi was about 14–16 at the start of the series, making her 21–23 in season 2.

Though seasons 1 and 2 have no time skip between them and continue from the same timeline, season 1 featured a time jump when Powder and Vi were trying to survive the world of Zaun. This puts them at their current age in the show right now. Overton also mentioned that Vi is the same age as Caitlyn, while Powder is approximately two years younger than them.


What was Vi's storyline in the show?

In Arcane Season 1, Vi experienced a seven-year time jump while in prison, emerging in her early 20s and grappling with her estrangement from Jinx. However, there’s no time jump between Seasons 1 and 2. Season 2 picks up immediately after Jinx's rocket explosion, with the characters navigating its aftermath and their strained relationships.
