League of Legends players who are eagerly awaiting the release of Arcane Season 2 on Netflix are in for a major treat. As part of Riot Games’ celebration of the show, Arcane-inspired skins are arriving for every champion featured in Arcane.

From Caitlyn’s sleek Piltover look to Vi’s battle-worn attire, this new update lets fans experience their favorite champions as they appear in the show.

Arcane Skins Arrive: What’s New for Your Favorite Champions

One of the most exciting parts of this League update is the arrival of Arcane skins for major champions like Caitlyn, Vi, Jinx, and Singed. These skins aren’t just inspired by Arcane’s animation style, but are detailed replicas of the champions’ looks from the show, bringing a whole new level of visual appeal to Summoner’s Rift.

1. Caitlyn’s Tactical Look

Caitlyn fans can look forward to her new Arcane skin complete with a combat-ready beret and Piltover uniform. For those wanting an upgrade, Caitlyn also receives a Prestige skin, inspired by her on-screen look but reimagined with more luxurious detailing. This exclusive variant is set to make her stand out on the Rift.

2. Vi’s Hextech Gauntlets and Iconic Jacket

Vi takes on an iconic look with her hextech gauntlets and a stylish, popped-collar jacket. Her Arcane skin captures her fearless nature and the rebellious edge that fans loved in the series. For players looking to embody the brute force of Piltover’s Enforcer, Vi’s new skin delivers an unmatched look.

3. Jinx’s Super Mega Death Rocket

For Jinx mains, there are even more ways to bring her chaotic energy to the Rift. Her Super Mega Death Rocket skin comes with several unique variations, allowing players to choose a look that best reflects her destructive nature. Whether you’re dismantling the Piltover council or just wreaking havoc in ranked matches, Jinx’s new skins make her even more of a standout.

4. Singed’s Chemical Design

With a creepy, chemical-laden design, Singed also joins the Arcane skin collection. Sporting a high, maroon scarf that replaces his usual face covering, Singed’s skin has a sinister edge that fans will love. This skin brings out his ruthless side and reflects the darker themes of the show.

A New Prestige Skin for Caitlyn

While most champions receive Arcane-inspired skins, Caitlyn gets an additional Prestige skin that takes inspiration from the show but adds a sophisticated twist.

Designed for the fashion-conscious summoner, this skin features a more majestic-looking rifle and ornate details that make Caitlyn the embodiment of elegance on the battlefield. Prestige skins are known for their high-quality designs, and Caitlyn’s latest look is no exception.
