Sci-fi hit Arcane brings back a dead enemy in season 2

Season 1 Arcane takes us to the two boroughs of rich, utopian Piltover and poor, downtrodden Zaun. Here they fight Sisters Vi and Jinx on opposite sides of a seething conflict that threatens to unleash a dangerous fantasy technology.

Arcane: Vi

The scarred one plays an important role in this sci-fi fantasy clash Gang boss Silco, who wants to control the substance called Shimmer. As a drug, it gives strength, among other things, but also causes mutations. Silco takes the orphan Jinx under his criminal wing and loves her like a daughter. Despite this, he ends up being shot by her as he fires at Vi.

Silco’s painful death became the catalyst for Jinx in Arcane to accept her new identity as well as her estrangement from her sister. Still, Silcos betrayed Original voice actor Jason Spisak now that he’s back in Season 2:

Yes, I recorded lines of dialogue for season 2. I can say that much. Riot Games lets me tell this to the public. They said, ‘You can officially tell people that you did voice acting for Season 2.’

Arcane: Silco

How can the Silco speaker return in Arcane Season 2?

The fact that the audio recordings for the 2nd Arcane season are already in the can is initially a positive sign of life for the popular Netflix series. Of course, Spisak’s cryptic formulation raises the question how he will return. There are several possibilities for that:

  • One resurrection from the dead is unlikely due to Silco’s definite dying, although not impossible in the sci-fi fantasy context.
  • flashbacks to Silco while he was alive are more likely.
  • As Hallucination or head voice but Jinx could well be haunted by the murder of her mentor.
  • Last but not least, let’s not forget that Jason Spisak voiced clown-mask-wearing brothel-visitor Pim alongside Silco in an Arcane episode. So maybe he’ll return in season 2 in one completely new role return?

    • When does Arcane season 2 start on Netflix?

    Shortly after the end of the first 9 episodes, Arcane announced the 2nd season and promised that it would not (like season 1) take 6 years until it would be completed. According to the series creators, we still have to rule out this year’s 2023 for the Arcane return. There is no official date for the sequel yet. But one thing is certain: Season 2 won’t come to Netflix until 2024 at the earliest.
