Mel was one of several main characters in Arcane, and she was getting shipped off to Noxus by the end of the series. Now League of Legends has revealed a cinematic dubbed Welcome to Noxus which features Mel and some new characters that could be major players in the series.
Check this out:
While this doesn’t look to be the next mainline series after Arcane, it does feature some heroes in the region that didn’t appear in the show like Darius, Trundle, Katarina, Elise, LeBlanc, and Vladimir. It also looks like whatever is going to happen in Noxus in League of Legends is going to be canon to the events of Arcane.
Though there hasn’t been any update on the next story after Arcane, it has been said that Noxus is going to be one of the main locations in the future show. Just looking at Mel’s arc, it does look like she’s going to be undergoing some kind of journey with discovering her powers, and it will have something to do with the Black Rose faction (which is lead by LeBlanc).
With Arcane ending in one of the most satisfying ways that it could, a lot of fans are hopeful that Fortiche’s follow-up will be able to meet the high standards that the first series has set. Though Caitlyn and Vi’s story may be closed for now, a lot are hopeful that Jinx is going to get her new beginning by the next season.
This cinematic is meant to introduce Welcome to Noxus for League of Legends, and Season 1 is expected to start on Jan.9.
