Arcane co-creator Alex Yee has finally confirmed that Jinx survived the Season 2 finale, ending months of fan speculation.
The explosive conclusion of Arcane Season 2 left fans reeling. Many viewers were convinced that Jinx, one of the show’s most iconic characters, had met her end in a fiery blast. Now, however, co-creator Alex Yee has stepped forward to clear up the speculation: Jinx is still alive.
The Finale That Shocked Fans
Season 2 of Arcane, released on Netflix in late 2024 after years of anticipation, once again delivered everything fans have come to expect from the series: high-stakes action, emotionally rich storytelling, and deeper exploration of the League of Legends universe.
But the closing moments sparked heated debates. In the climactic scene, Jinx appeared to sacrifice herself, plunging into an explosion alongside Vander – now transformed into the monstrous Warwick. The ambiguity of her fate, paired with the fact that her body was never shown, led many to believe this was her final chapter.
“She’s Definitely Not Dead”
In an interview with Collider, co-creator Alex Yee addressed the ending directly, confirming that Jinx’s journey is far from over:
“I think there’s always a price to be paid. This isn’t a story where everything resolves neatly. That weight has to be felt. But that’s exactly why she’s definitely not dead.”
For fans, this statement lands like a bombshell. Until now, Jinx’s survival had been the subject of endless speculation, fueled by the silence of Yee’s colleague and fellow co-creator Christian Linke. In November 2024, Linke had teased that he “wasn’t ready to talk about” Jinx’s fate, leaving the audience in the dark. Yee’s words, by contrast, provide the clearest confirmation yet. Many fans, who desperately hoped she had survived, may now breathe out a sigh of relief.

What This Means for Arcane’s Future
Although Arcane concluded its two-season run with Season 2, Riot Games and Netflix have made it clear that the broader League of Legends universe on screen is far from finished. The next planned series will reportedly explore a completely new setting, but with Jinx’s fate now confirmed, the door is open for her to reappear – whether in a future spin-off or a potential crossover. Given Jinx’s central role not only in Arcane but also in League of Legends itself, her survival could have seismic implications for the world of Piltover and Zaun. A reunion – or confrontation – with her sister Vi would be particularly explosive.
Jinx has long been one of the most recognizable champions in League of Legends, defined by her chaotic energy, unpredictable behavior, and tragic relationship with Vi. Arcane deepened her backstory, portraying her not only as an agent of chaos, but also as a deeply human character scarred by loss and betrayal. That complexity made her apparent death in the Season 2 finale all the more devastating – and makes her confirmed survival all the more thrilling.
Whether Netflix and Riot choose to revisit Jinx in a spin-off, a movie project, or even an unexpected cameo, fans can rest assured that the “Loose Cannon” isn’t gone just yet. For now, the only certainty is that Jinx remains one of the most powerful – and unpredictable – forces in the Arcane universe.
