The long-awaited Arcane Season 2 is coming out in just over a week and Riot has announced some Twitch drops for fans who tune in.
Arcane Season 2 is coming three years after the first season was binged on Netflix. The award-winning first season left fans with a lot of questions and cliff-hangers, with the finale showing incoming doom racing towards the Piltover Council. Since then, Riot has released some cryptic trailers but the full plot is still a mystery.
Arcane Season 2 will drop on November 9 and Riot wants to celebrate the release day with a Global Community Premiere. Here’s how to take part and get some rewards for watching the show.
How to earn Arcane Season 2 Twitch drops
While Arcane Season 2 premiers on Netflix, there will be an official stream and co-streams on Twitch that allow fans to tune in and win awards through the Global Community Premiere.
This event will begin with a countdown on November 8 at 11 PM PT. This pre-show will have exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes content, and discuss how Riot’s games connect with the world of Arcane. The global premiere of Episode 1 will take place after at 11 AM PT.
In order to receive the Twitch drops, League of Legends players will need to do the following:
- Go to Twitch and locate the profile icon on the top right
- Select Settings
- Find Connections near the top of the tabs
- In Connections, search for Riot Games and press Connect
- Enter the Riot login and password in the pop up — this should be the same as the login info for Riot’s client
- Watch Arcane Season 2 Episode 1 on the official Riot Games Twitch or through participating co-streamers
- Twitch Drops earned will automatically be added to the connected account
So far, Riot has not revealed the official co-streamers or the specific details for earning Twitch Drops.
What Twitch Drops can you earn by watching Arcane Season 2?
Players will be able to get in-game items for League of Legends through Twitch drops.
For the first season of Arcane, Twitch viewers were rewarded with an Arcane Capsule for tuning in. This included random skin shards as well as other items. Other Riot Games titles offered their own rewards including a Valorant gun buddy and emotes in Legends of Runeterra and League of Legends: Wild Rift.
Arcane Season 2 Episode 1 will likely be around 40 to 45 minutes, as this was the standard length of the episodes throughout Season 1. The second and final season will be made up of three acts, with three episodes within each act. That means there are nine episodes total of Season 2.
Three episodes will be available when the new series arrives, but only the first episode is co-streamer friendly. The others players will have to be watched through Netflix.
