Like Season 1, Arcane Season 2’s 4K Steelbook features Jinx on the front cover and Ekko on the back. The four-disc set includes three 4K Blu-rays and one 1080p Blu-ray. All nine episodes are presented in upscaled 4K resolution with support for Dolby Vision and HDR10. On the audio side, Season 2 has Dolby TrueHD 5.1 surround sound as well as Dolby Digital 5.1.

The 1080p Blu-ray disc is where you’ll find the three-plus hours of bonus content, including featurettes, animatics, and music videos. Here’s the full list of special features included with all three Season 2 physical editions.

The 1080p Steelbook Edition of Season 2 has Vi on the front cover and Caitlyn on the back. The three-disc set has all of the same on-disc content as the 4K Steelbook, just rendered in 1080p and without HDR10 or Dolby Vision. Audio options are the same across all editions: Dolby TrueHD 5.1 and Dolby Digital 5.1.

Season 2’s standard edition Blu-ray has key art featuring eight prominent characters on the cover and cardboard sleeve. Outside of the less-fancy packaging and presentation, this edition mirrors the 1080p Steelbook Edition with Vi on the cover.

Arcane Season 1’s 4K Steelbook has a cool Jinx-themed cover design. Inside the case, you’ll find three 4K Blu-ray discs and a standard 1080p Blu-ray with special features. It’s rendered in upscaled 4K resolution (2160p) and supports Dolby Vision and HDR10. For sound, it supports Dolby TrueHD 5.1 Surround.

Arcane Season 1’s physical editions include the full nine-episode arc and three hours of special features. Fans can go behind the scenes of Arcane with exclusive conversations involving key creative talent and writers, numerous scene breakdowns from the animation staff at studio Fortiche, making-of videos, and more.

The 1080p Steelbook Edition of Arcane Season 1 is nearly the same price as the 4K Steelbook right now. The three-disc Blu-ray set has Vi-themed case artwork and includes all of the same bonus features.

Like the standard edition for Season 2, the regular Blu-ray version has key art showcasing a bunch of characters who play important roles in Season 1. The artwork is the same on the case and the included cardboard sleeve. At the time of writing, the standard edition is only a couple bucks cheaper than the Blu-ray Steelbook Edition (and 4K Steelbook).

This 224-page art book provides a behind-the-scenes look at the production of Season 1. Along with a wide assortment of never-before-seen concept art, the book contains over 20 interviews with key team members who created the show.

The hardcover book comes with an acetate dust jacket with exclusive artwork shown above. The cover itself inverses the illustration’s color scheme. The fancy dust jacket isn’t the only premium feature here.

Inside the book, you’ll find fold-out spreads focused on Seasons 1 and 2, a poster featuring Jinx, a full-color, removable Piltover map, a replica in-world blueprint, and a recreation of the Vander Letter.
