The two began their lives similarly as criminals in Zaun. But their paths verged wildly with Jinx embracing the criminal life and Vi becoming an Enforcer.
With their opposing roles chosen, they become arch-rivals. The animated series will dig into the relationship of the two– from their youth to their current deadly rivalry.
The League of Legends: Arcane Trailer
Fortiche helped introduce Jinx back in 2015 with an animated trailer called Get Jinxed. The Jinxed trailer looks really similar to the clips and art they’ve put out so far, beautiful animation and all.
The video game company has also brought on some big names for the show’s soundtrack: Sting, Denzel Curry, Pusha T, Bea Miller, Imagine Dragons, and more.
