Afterglow
Arcane is based on the characters and world of League of Legends. The story is centered in the double-city of Piltover/Zaun on the planet Runeterra. Afterglow is an opportunity to delve into the story, relationships, and implications presented in dynamic and high-energy animation thanks to the epic artistry of Fortiche Studios. Season 2 promises: “The aftermath of Jinx’s attack on the Council sets the stage for new leaders to emerge, new alliances to form, and a dire escalation of the conflict between Piltover and Zaun.“

Episodes of Afterglow will drop at 9am PT/12pm ET on Tuesdays after each Act of Season 2 debuts on the Saturday. Episode 1 of Afterglow runs just over 12 minutes. The relaxed format allows the three guests to answer a variety of questions presented by the producers. Purnell and Steinfeld offer some deep insights into their characters, Jinx and Vi, respectively.
Clips from the show interlace the conversation, illustrating some answers, and offering thoughtful ambiguity to others. Moreover, it’s a lot of fun to see their honest, gleeful reactions to some of the more spectacular sequences. They are big fans of the show, just like us.
