7 Ways Arcane Season 2’s Alternate Reality Was Different (& Why They Matter)
The alternate timeline in Arcane season 2, episode 7 was very different from the original one, and each change had a deeper meaning than simply being a gimmick. The ending of Arcane season 2 resolved the war between Piltover and Zaun by giving them a common enemy. As Viktor looked to perfect humanity from the elements that cause death and war, many of Arcane's League of Legends champions united to stop an onslaught from Ambessa Medarda, who wished only for the Machine Herald to make her Noxian soldiers indestructible.
One of these characters was Ekko, who disappeared alongside Jayce in Arcane season 2, Act I. It was revealed that Ekko spent time in Arcane's multiverse via an alternate timeline, experiencing a world in which much of the trauma and suffering from the show did not occur. In light of several Arcane season 2 character deaths, the exploration of the League of Legends multiverse may seem farfetched.
