There’s plenty of death in Arcane due to the show’s violent setting.
Riot Games' TV show Arcane is as violent as it is beautiful, meaning character deaths are always a possibility.
More than 25 characters already died in Arcane throughout Season 1, and who knows who else will die once Season 2 debuts in November. One thing is for sure, though — death count is bound to rise after Jinx fired a missile at the Piltover Council.
While some deaths weren't impactful in Arcane, the show already said goodbye to some influential characters. Take a trip down memory lane and join us as we remember all the major characters who died in Arcane.
