Fans erupted in applause at the prospect of a spinoff focusing on the couple, showcasing their unwavering support for the characters.
Overton shared her own ideas for where Caitlin and Vi’s story could go next, hinting at potential adventures and character development for the young couple. She expressed a desire to see Vi explore her identity beyond her role as a protector, delving into new challenges and experiences.
As fans eagerly await news of what’s to come, one thing is certain: the legacy of “Arcane: League of Legends” will continue to captivate audiences and inspire new stories within the rich and immersive world created by the show’s creators.
