The second (and final) season of Arcane is almost upon us, and Netflix has released a two-and-a half-minute look at what Vi's (voiced by Hailee Steinfeld) been up to — basically, she's been kickin' ass and getting her ass kicked. It's a flurry of Riot Games' League of Legends-based action and Fortiche Productions' glorious animation and we're pumped, but it also reveals Vi's not necessarily in a good place. And she's seeing flashes of Caitlyn (Katie Leung) during the fights.

I mean, after what happened to Vander (J.B. Blanc) and the fact that her sister Jinx (Fallout's Ella Purnell) blew up the Piltover Council at the end of Season 1, Vi's got a lot of trauma to process. However, her fighting ring success begins well then goes awry, and as @Lilp2020 commented on YouTube, "Her starting with a win streak, then having her matches all go down hill because of Tilt is the most accurate representation of playing League."

Meanwhile, as we saw in the trailer, things aren't looking good for Piltover and Zaun, and the rest of the clip teases one hell of a dramatic season.

The clip was revealed during Netflix's Geeked Week, during which the streaming service revealed Arcane Season 2 will be streaming on Nov. 9 — and that the season will be released in three acts, the second on Nov. 16 and the final on Nov. 23.
