GKIDS, Anime Limited & Shout! Studios will release Arcane League of Legends: Season Two on 4K UHD Blu-Ray and Blu-Ray in a Limited Edition SteelBook on October 28, 2025. The series will also be released on Blu-Ray in a standard edition on that date, as well as a Limited-Run 4K UHD Collector's Edition on December 11, 2025. The release will include all nine episodes from the second season presented in glorious 4K resolution and mastered in Dolby Vision HDR. The series is set in the universe of the massively popular video game League of Legends, made by Riot Games and Fortiche Productions for Netflix. It is co-created by Christian Linke and Alex Yee, and follows the origins of iconic League champions Vi and Jinx, as they become caught in the power struggle between the utopian city of Piltover and the oppressed underground city of Zaun. The second and final season of Arcane returned to Netflix in November 2024 to rave reviews, garnering widespread praise for its striking animation, emotionally complicated characters, thrilling music, and overall production quality. It has been praised by critics as one of the best video game adaptations ever created. The series went on to win four primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Animated Program, as well as nine Annie Awards, including Best Mature Animated Television Broadcast Production. Get more details below! Synopsis: The award-winning series based on the League of Legends universe reaches its epic conclusion in Arcane Season Two. Following Jinx's devastating attack on the Council, the conflict between utopian Piltover and underground Zaun escalates to all-out war. As both sides grapple with the new threat of the brutal empire of Noxus, further experimentation with the powerful yet volatile Hextech may spell disaster for them all. With the final season complete, Arcane stands as one of the most critically acclaimed animated series of all time. Riot Games and Fortiche Productions combine engrossing and prescient storytelling with artfully crafted visuals to set a new paradigm for the medium of animation.

'Arcane' season 2 gets home release, pre-orders open for Netflix hit
Arcane season 2 will receive a rare at-home release, with Netflix's acclaimed animated series arriving on Blu-ray and 4K UHD on October 21, 2025. Based on Riot Games' League of Legends, Arcane has become one of Netflix's standout titles, and fans can now secure pre-orders for physical copies ahead of release. The second season will be available in standard Blu-ray and limited-edition Steelbook formats, with the Steelbook offered in designs featuring characters including Cait, Vi, Jinx, and Ekko. According to listings on GKIDS and Amazon, the Steelbook is priced at around $59.98, with sale prices from $42.99. Each edition contains three discs, covering all nine episodes of season 2, alongside over three hours of bonus content. Additional features include behind-the-scenes featurettes such as 'Inside the Writer's Room,' artist breakdowns, music videos for the series' key songs, storyboards, and an art gallery. For dedicated collectors, a 4K UHD collector's edition is also available at $150, including exclusive artwork, themed dice, enamel pins, art cards, posters, and episode guides. Arcane's release on physical media is notable, as most Netflix originals do not receive Blu-ray or 4K editions. The series is produced by Riot Games and Fortiche Productions, which has allowed for an expanded distribution beyond Netflix's usual streaming platform.

‘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 💙 Artwork by our talented artists. ✨#Fortiche #Arcane #Fortichers — Fortiche prod (@ForticheProd) July 16, 2025While 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' 'Timebomb'-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. Want more io9 news?
