There's a lot more than first meets the eye with Arcane season 2’s opening credits, and we’re not just talking about the catchy song. One eagle-eyed fan has figured out that every episode's intro has a subtle clue as to what is in store.

Each of the three episodes of Arcane season 2 currently on Netflix features a slightly different opening credits scene. Those slight differences foreshadow a character’s fate in that particular episode, as pointed out by @endur3nsurvive on Twitter.

Created by Christian Linke and Alex Yee, Arcane season 2 picks up from where season 1 left off and sees "Jinx's attack on the Council set the stage for a dire escalation of the conflict between Piltover and Zaun," as per the official synopsis from Netflix. Season 2 will be released in three waves, with Act 1 out now, Act 2 coming on November 16, followed by Act 3 on November 23. For more on that, see our Arcane season 2 release schedule.

Season 2 stars Hailee Steinfeld as Vi, Ella Purnell as Jinx, Katie Leung as Caitlyn, Reed Shannon as Ekko, Amirah Vann as Sevika, Mick Wingert as Heimerdinger, Ellen Thomas as Ambessa, and Brett Tucker as Singed, plus new faces too.
