[Color-coding this for comparison between S1 & S2 teaser releases]

So as far as Arcane S2 trailer promo goes we have

S2 announcement (2 years before S2)

Arcane S2: First Look (January 2024)

Annecy Vi scene (June 2024) <- note*

Arcane S2 Teaser (June 2024) <- note*

Arcane: Stealth Mission (July 2024)

Additional trailer?

Final trailer?

I looked back at the Arcane S1 trailers and their respective release dates/styles of release, and so far it looks pretty similar to the release trajectory of promo last time.

Arcane announcement (2 years before S1)

Arcane first look (May 2021)

Arcane: A Score to Settle (June 2021)

Arcane Trailer (September 2021)

Final Trailer (October 2021)

*The only major difference between these chronological releases is the Vi scene that was shown at Annecy (which may or may not be the scene comparable to A Score to Settle) and the extra teaser trailer we’ve gotten.

I believe they chose to release an additional teaser specifically because it would wake up the fandom a little and make us all more likely to purchase the dvd’s, vinyls, artbooks etc. but that’s besides the point—

Anyway it looks like in September we’re likely to get a trailer about 2.5 minutes long with a lot of strong voicelines and out of context shots from every act. The emphasis of Arcane shots in the Geeked Week preview would support this, so it’s really not news to anyone but it’s interesting to see the stats laid out.

In late October, we’ll probably get a final trailer of about the same length but it’ll be edited more like a chronological setting the stage for what to expect from the season. I will (probably) not be watching this trailer in particular lmao
