As derived from the released 2:39 minutes clip, Arcane's initial storyline will be set in the past showcasing the origins of Jinx and Vi.

Interestingly, the clip shows a version of Jinx before she obtains her pink eyes. This strongly indicates a hidden story about Jinx's life featuring incidents that might have turned League of Legends' "Loose Cannon" into a maniac.

In addition to the short video clip from Netflix Geeks, Riot posted an exclusive dev diary video on the League of Legends YouTube channel, providing some more details on the theme and set of Arcane. The show's co-creators, Christian Linke and Alex Yee, put up some dedicated words for League of Legends fans and players:

"Arcane is our love letter to you, the players and fans who over the years have been with us to make League of Legends what it is today. When we set out to make Arcane, we knew we wanted to create something that feels like an authentic representation of your favorite champions. You'll get to see some of their origin stories, but you'll also get to see them in the present day as they push the world forward."

The devs also clarified one of the most important plot points of the League of Legends Universe that Jinx and Vi are in fact siblings. Although the community has already theorized this in the past, confirmation from Riot will surely make the theme for Arcane more interesting for the fans.
