[@No0ne._.]

@@CarlieAndAnge For a little more in depth explanation, Fiddlesticks isn't the scarecrow, he is a demon that possesses the scarecrow. His whole thing is that he knows what people fear most (kind of like IT, but he doesn't shapeshift) and there are videos covering all his unique interactions with other champs and their fears. In the whole world of Runeterra there are only 4 demons that really mean anything to the lore. Only one other has a cinematic, and that's Tahm Kench. Nocturne and Evelynn are the other 2 demons, and nocturne only shows up in the "A Twist of Fate" cinematic. Evelynn has the "Villain" music video, so I guess there's that. A couple kinda demon related things you should check out is the "The Path, An Ionian Myth" and "Kin of the Stained Blade". There are demon parts of those cinematics but the main focus is the relationship between the brothers Yasuo and Yone. Pretty much the only information outside of the videos you might need is that Yone believes Yasuo killed their tribe's master, the evidence only points to yasuo, he runs, and Yone and a few others are sent after him to kill him. I'd watch the "Kin" video first, as "The Path" video kinda spoils what happens, and really just answers the "Then how is he _____" questions you'll get from "Kin".

[@o_ferro]

@@No0ne._. There's also the demon that Swain (a very influential leader of Noxus) has a deal with. Raum, demon of secrets. It's cool that each demon so far represents a certain characteristic. Evelynn being agony, Tahm Kench is addiction, Feedlesticks is fear and Nocturne is nightmares. And its very cool to see how each character design brings all that to life. Swain is another pretty cool character that brought a lot of lore when he was reworked, maybe we see him a bit in Arcane since he is essentially one of the 4 most powerful people in Noxus.

[@No0ne._.]

@@o_ferro Yeah Raum exists but he's on the same level as the demon Yone has. Like, they exist, but come very secondary to the champion. Whereas the others, it is them. I would honestly love to get a few more demons that flush out the 7 deadly sins. That'd be great, Eve got lust, Tahm got gluttony. If Tryn had won the VGU they could've made him more of a demon and have him as wrath. Which is where the problem of doing that starts though, cause other non demon champs already got the other sins. GP has greed, Draven has pride. They don't really have anything that comes to mind for Sloth and Envy.

Ekko was released with a comic. The memorial on the wall is for his friend, Ajuna. The comic is about Ekko who keeps rewinding time to save his friend from death, but he is late every time and couldn't save him at the end however many times he tried. Also Ekko retains the damage he takes even if he rewinds time, so that is one downside to his power. And the fact he reversed time to restore the memorial, means he has to fight that goon again.

The pump on his back injects chemicals into his blood stream making him more angry, faster and have more bloodlust, the pump is always working, but it pumps more when he smells blood hence he was able to make a big jump and git more rabid when he smelled blood in the cinematic. he roams the lowest parts of zaun because singed dispossed of him when he died (he died because like in arcane, your nature doesn't like change), but when he died, his body stopped fighting the transformation, since you know, nature doesn't really matter to a corpse, and he completed the process, shortly after that he came back to life and started his hunt.

About the Warwick thing turning red: it turns red if he smells blood.

One of Braum's voice lines is, "The heart is the strongest muscle."

Warwick is theorized to be Vander because he has ingame interactions with jinx and Vi, constantly refering to core aspects that link them to Vander and the happenings in Arcane (he asks Vi "who tole you how to punch?" and mentions to jinx "you were there..." Meaning the explosion at the docks) Also, warwicks creation lore is linking to arcane/vander in a very explicit way. The lore says he was created by someone through experimentation and that the core catalyst for who ever he was before to transform into warwick is a lethal dose of pain or dying (vander "died" in episode 3 through those means). We also never see what happens to his body, but it would be logic, als silco found him with powder, that he took him, and later gave it to singed who, oh how handy does it come, is a scientist wo does unethical experiments, had hands on vander before him dying, and has a Wolf-thing hanging from his roof in the last shots of episode 9

The Zdrive is the device on Ekko's lower back allowing him to go back in time only few seconds far, he's not invented it yet in arcane ,it's possible that after some mentoring from Heimerdinger Ekko is going to create the Zdrive , however it was hinted in his fight against Jinx that he'd be able to rewind time. Warwick's transformation is permanent he can't go back to vander, nor remember much of his past. The chemicals on his back are meant to heal him and boost his physical abilities, Warwick got his arm severed during the experiment which Singed managed to reattach and augment with chemical through an incredibly agonizing process. The memorial in Ekko's teaser is likely an old version of the updated one we see in Arcane.

[@jeffkoenig7402]

All good comments, but you inadvertently pointed out one of the continuity issues between Seconds and Arcane. If the Z-Drive comes *after* the events of Arcane, then so does that version of the mural. But tbh I don't worry about it too much because they weren't made at the same time and inconsistencies are kind of inevitable. Riot considers Arcane a separate canon, and imo it's the main one now (due to popularity) so moving forward if it doesn't exactly match up with other previous lore, I'mma go with whatever is in the show.

so Fiddlestick is feared by every creature in the world of runeterra, in each region he is known by a different name and it is said that when the first cry of fear was born he did too so it is older than the world itself (being the demon of fear, the first and oldest) I would recommend that you check out the character voice lines as they have interesting stuff (ekko and warwick have interactions with Vi and Jinx) and Fiddlestick has only one interaction with jinx but the rest of his lines with other characters are very interesting for some lore Also, Fiddlestick's voice actor is just spectacular, I don't think they could give him a better voice than the one he has and that's so scary I'm sorry I have to use a translator for this but I'm from Argentina and although I'm good at understanding English, I'm not so good at writing it Saludos desde Argentina! ^^

The "spider thing" in Terror in Demacia is Fiddlesticks. Fiddlesticks is a primordial fear demon that has existed since the first breath of creation, but unlike other demons such as Tahm Kench or Evelynn, Fiddle isn't quite as sentient. He can't actually talk so he parrots the last words of people as he killed them (the shrieking "HELP ME!") to invoke fear in his prey, and he isn't actually the scarecrow, it's just a construct he made from scrap parts. If you look at his artwork you'll see a cage in the scarecrow's torso containing a black ooze with red eyes, that's Fiddlesticks itself, and as it moves it will extend tendrils to use as limbs for various uses. In lore over time Fiddlesticks has been inactive so it's become kinda a nursery rhyme like the boogeyman but with the magic revolution in Demacia and a couple other demons in the area tensions are high and fear is growing, making it the perfect hunting grounds. We've got a few teasers about extensions to demons in Runeterra like a chart with the demon hierarchy, Yone (an undead demon possessed demon hunter samurai), the reveal that the demon Swain (leader of Noxus) outsmarted is a demon of secrets named Raum, and a couple other bits.

[@CarlieAndAnge]

Oh great! Great to have you here. Plenty of more videos coming. We have a lot to learn 😅

[@TheWebberLegacy]

Fiddlesticks is more scarecrow based than spider. He’s in the same Family of demons as Evelynn

[@TheWebberLegacy]

Along with 2 others as far as I’m aware, Tahm Kench, who’s a big frog and Nocturne, a nightmare assassin of sorts

[@ISavant]

@@TheWebberLegacy yeah Evelyn feeds off pain and discovered the easiest way to get it is by being sexy and then killing her victims, nocturne feeds off nightmares, fiddlesticks feeds off fear and tahm kench I think desire?

[@ISavant]

@@TheWebberLegacy also kench is a catfish not a frog 🤣

[@TheWebberLegacy]

@@ISavant He’s a bit of a hybrid isn’t he? He’s got the frog tongue

[@ISavant]

@@TheWebberLegacy I mean he's not really an animal in any sense, but he's in catfish form. He just also happens to walk and talk.

[@OuijaFaerie]

I’ve been waiting so patiently for new league of legends reactions ahhh, love the channel!

[@CarlieAndAnge]

Aww thanks so much! We’re hoping we can do 2 a week!

[@Ryuanren]

Seconds was made way before arcane so the mural looks a little different than the series. I think that was really jinx, and Vi is missing cause they only revealed that the two are sisters not so long ago. PS. Fiddlesticks is a scarecrow

[@EnzoNicolas96]

Fiddlesticks is one of many demons in Runeterra. In League of Legends as champions, we can find Fiddlesticks itself (fed by fear), Evelyn (fed by agony), Tam Kench (fed by ambition), Raum (a demon possessed by Swain), and Nocturne (fed by nightmares). But what makes Fiddlesticks special is that he is a Primordial Demon, making him one of the most powerful ones.

[@CarlieAndAnge]

He was terrifying…

[@EnzoNicolas96]

@@CarlieAndAnge He was! And you should listen to his Champion Theme. It really creepy x.x

[@ISavant]

I'm pretty sure Evelyn is primordial too but takes her form because she discovered it was the easiest way to feed

[@rozarioh6861]

If you really would like an anime style, longer type animation, I highly recommend Kin of the stained blade. It's the best animation they've produced in my opinion.

[@my2cents795]

Warwick is his own person, no one is controlling him and he is pretty strong. In league, he sometimes utters a few things when he interacts with arcane champions that imply he is in fact Vander and his mind is still there somewhere. I love playing warwick, he is so fun to play.

[@layniebear1237]

im sure everyone covered the questions, just commenting for the hype!~ but watching your videos brought back so much love for league!~

[@demitritus3310]

No Ekko is not op in the game, he only returns to whenever he was a few seconds ago, and heals for a percentage of the damage received in that duration.

[@dark_fusion1288]

Not sure if you have seen it yet but in the announcement for Arcane season 2, you can hear Warwicks theme at the end of the video, same one here as 9:01 . Gives me chills every time. Also fun fact: In game LoL, on the map Howling abyss you can feed these Poro's, Poro snacks and they get bigger until they explode into more Poros lol (doesn't affect gameplay). If you play as Braum and feed one, it will have a moustache :)

[@marcovenancio5004]

hey, pls react to Arcane: Silco and Jinx - Therapist Reacts

[@CarlieAndAnge]

Hey Marco, we’d rather not react to another youtubers video just because we feel uncomfortable using someone else’s channel as content for our own. We will definitely check it out in our own time tho! Thanks for the recommendation 😊

[@christopherlansky]

hmmm... I see... reaction to reaction to reaction

[@PlaneToSpain]

When Ekko yells for Vi and Cait to go on the bridge, you can hear this theme but it's more subtle and soft. Such a nice touch for a callback from years ago, like Jinx's song in her lair. His Z-Drive allows him to revert time back about 7 seconds and also stop time around him. Rewatching, the blue haired person is def Powder, but the kid with the goggles is his friend who I can't remember, but he's a card in Runeterra. I guess to tack onto that, in ep 3 when Silco says, "I'll show you what you really are.." you can hear that bassy trumpet/drum noise when Warwick smells the blood in this. Also it's at the end of the Arcane S2 teaser. It's the noise you hear in game when you're low health and he has your scent. Fiddlestick is one of the few demons you can play, and his whole schtick is mimicking people and things he's killed to lure others. He places fake versions of himself around the map that act like him for a second upon seeing him to scare the fuck out of you in the fog of war. Yes, that is the same creature as Heimer's pet. A poro.

[@russetpotato8941]

Someone's probably already said this but just a couple quick things on Warwick and Fiddle: Fiddlesticks is a scarecrow demon, hence the crows and T-posing. He mimics voices to lure people to him, and he kinda looked like a spider thing just because of how fast his limbs were moving in the trailer. The reason why Warwick went red is because he smelled blood, he goes into a fury whenever he smells it. He definitely can't change into a human, and Singed did create him.

[@aryes5349]

I see a bunch of comments on this topic, but Im still going to join the train. When two merchants talk to Vander in ep1 the lady calls him 'Hound of the underground'. When Silco talks to Vander he calls him a 'Lapdog', and then proceeds to say 'I'll show you what you rly are' and in that moment Warwick theme starts playing. Also, when Vander drinks shimmer he becomes the size that matches Warwick size, and he becomes hunched over, just like Warwick. And lastly the point of Rio in Arcane was to show that Singed is capable of preserving life and ensuring that "mutation must survive" and we see still half human Warwick hanging from the celling in his lab in the finale montage in Arcane. And here is one more side note; Warwick has a prostetic right hand. And if you remember Vander had an injured right arm cause Silco cut him there long ago. So it makes sense that Singed would cut off Vanders hurt hand and replaced it with mechanical one.

[@-ACE.]

The theories about WW come mostly from his lore, but also from the music played in episode 3 when Vander and Silco were talking (very similar to the music you hear here in ww video) , also if you listen at the teaser for season 2 at the end, you will hear that same music and WW voice at the end of it.

[@aliywafiy]

Warwick howl and hunt music in-game was teased in arcane season 2 announcement at the end.

[@CarlieAndAnge]

😍

[@ninjatoriumnova2483]

Yeah, we're definitely getting Warwick in season 2. Besides the obvious stuff like Vander fitting as what he was before the transformation and the hairy body hanging in Singed's lab in episode 9, the teaser for season 2 ends with Warwick's howl and music. The same musical cue plays when Silco tells Vander "I'll show you what you really are"! Was really exciting experiencing all that as someone who loves League lore.

[@thahoule7924]

Fiddlesticks is one of the scariest and most powerful beings in the story. Hes the ur-demon of fear. Hes ancient as fck, since he was born together with the universe itself, and he scares even the personification of death (which is called "Kindred"). In the cinematic, hes freshly awoken, after slumbering for untold ages, which is why hes still weak and attacking simple soldiers, so he can feed on their fear to grow powerful again.

[@CarlieAndAnge]

🥵

[@jayabando6719]

I love Braum, Santa Braum is fire! I tried to play as Braum just to hear him laugh.

[@CarlieAndAnge]

He’s so great 😅

[@jamaicanbotmon6587]

Just keep em coming haha. We'd watch all your league reactions

[@CarlieAndAnge]

Haha we know! And we love watching them and interacting with everyone. There’ll be plenty 😊

[@bloodwire7152]

About Warwick being Vander: On the final ep, while Jinx is doing her thing with the cannon, they show us several scenes with the other characters. On Singed's scene (the doctor who developed Shimmer), it looks like a different POV of a picture in "Engineering the Nightmare", a story that show his work on Warwick.

[@drhapi5308]

Warwick is Vander...just twisted and mutated into "what you really are", "the Monster inside", "Hound of the Underground", "Lapdog".

[@drhapi5308]

From Warwick's Bio: "Though many think of Warwick as no more than a beast, buried beneath the fury lies the mind of a man-a gangster who put down his blade and took up a new name to live a better life. But no matter how hard he tried to move on, he could never escape the sins of his past. Memories of that time come to Warwick in flashes before they’re inevitably lost, replaced by searing echoes of the days he spent strapped to a table in Singed’s lab, the mad chemist’s face looming above him."

[@CarlieAndAnge]

Definitely looking likely at this point

[@masterofpuppets7586]

I suppose everyone who knew the videos couldn't hold back at least a grin when you came closer and closer to the screen for Fiddlesticks.😃😃😱 Adorable reactions as always. Your eagerness to learn about League is heartwarming and as Braum would say: The heart is the strongest muscle! 💪 ♥️

[@CarlieAndAnge]

😅❤️

[@Mykeul33]

A very cool fact about arcane: the first thing ekko ever says in the show is something along the line of "give me a few seconds" when he tries to fix something and benzo tells him to go outside, a cool tribute to what he says in his first cinematic

[@Lemonstar64]

I'll try to explain shotly why people speculate that Warwick is vander. We know that Singed created Warwick, we also know that Singed have bandages over his body to cover the scars that Warwick caused him, in arcane we see each episode how he gets more and more covered by these bandages which explains that Warwick is being made during this time. The biggest hint from Warwick's lore is this piece of line: "Warwick struggled to recall a single memory from his past... All he could see was blood. But then he heared a little girl screaming. Screaming something he couldn't understand. It sounded like a name" - If it makes sense now, that name as people speculate is - Violet, when powder is crying for her. Hope it makes a little more sense now and thank you for your amazing content

[@KingRoayal]

Yeah it is almost certain that Vander is Warwick, we knew it from the start but Riot has not confirmed it officialy yet, although it is really obvious.

[@Metal-Spark]

Something I love about Ekko's cinematic is that each time he rewinds time he gets more and more injured - you can see each time he looks more tired and holds his most recent injury. The fact that he rewinds to redo the fight even though he's injured to save the memorial says a lot about his character

[@CarlieAndAnge]

💯

[@OldManBenjen]

This is for Carlie! You've seen/listened to the end of the Arcane 2 announcement trailer. You've seen Warwick's update cinematic trailer.... ...go to Arcane Episode 3. Start 12:38. Subtitles show at 12:49 [foreboding musicplays]...the Blood Hunt theme... You should also watch the "Warwick Special Interactions" video from the SkinSpotlights channel to see his lines with Vi/Jinx/Cait/Ekko/Singed/Twitch, they were implemented 5 years ago around when Arcane was taking shape!

[@CarlieAndAnge]

Nice! Thanks. We’ll check it out 😊

[@andrecezar7570]

In the last seconds of arcane we see a lot of short scenes, including singed looking up to a "thing" chained up. It has claws. The Arcane S2 trailer ends with the Warwick theme.

[@redmoonknight1130]

If you go back to the final moment of episode 9 of arcane you can see Singed working on Vander's body as he's in the middle of the process of turning him into Warwick

[@CarlieAndAnge]

Yeah we noticed during editing our reaction to Ep 9!

[@oprime0078]

Love seeing people react to this stuff, brings joy to my heart, can’t wait to watch more

[@CarlieAndAnge]

Thats great! We’re glad youre enjoying the videos 😊❤️

[@rosieposie2404]

warwick in the game is a originally retired Zaunite gangster who wanted to escape from the sins of his past, Warwick was captured and experimented on by the cruel scientist Singed. pretty cool reaction!

[@tommytommy7535]

always looking forwards to these videos :) oh and ekko in game has a holocgram following him around the map, when u press ult he goes back to his hologram and in that position it deals damage and heals him.

[@tiranorod]

"Vander is Warwick" is a theory based on Singed's and Warwick's bios and the in-game voice acting of Warwick, Jinx and Vi, specially when they are playing together on the same game because they have special voice interactions when they "see" each other on the map. Warwick is an experiment done by Singed which took a famous assassin body who was very near dead and started inserting chemicals from chemtech (the collective science of Zaum is called chemtech as it deals with augmentation powered by chemical waste from Piltover and Zaun's industry) to his body to upstart a mutation (pretty much just like he did with the dragon in Arcane). The thing in his back is a chemical pump that Singed installed directly on his body to more easily pump said chemicals to his body. Throughout the experience the assassin lost his arm and Singed replaced it with a chemtech arm with a metal claw and kept experimenting. After thoroughly torturing him to death, Singed deemed the experiment a failure and threw the assassin in Zaun's waste. That was when the mutation happened and the assassin became Warwick. Warwick can sense the smell of blood and it drives him completely crazy with hunger for hunting whatever prey he smells the blood of (which is one of his mechanics in the game, he can "smell" champions with less than half hp which in-game creates a red trail that reveals champion's positions.). There are several videos on KZbin linking Warwick's story with Vander's possible story before (as an assassin) and after (as a test subject of Singed) Arcane. You can easily find it on KZbin =)

[@N___03]

what a pleasant surprise, Great reaction as always!! so excited for the other contents

[@llaura28]

I really love these kind of videos of you, they are so fun to watch! I really really love the cinematics of the „Star Guardian“ skins, they are just so pretty I love them and I still watch them sometimes, they are amazing and I definitely recommend watching them, it’s so worth it✨

[@CarlieAndAnge]

Im sure we’ll get to it. We’ll try to watch most, if not all of them! 😊

[@novastarr11]

6:34 his ultimate makes him (but only him) go back 6 seconds restoring your health to how it was back there, so if you're in the middle of 5 dudes deleting your health bar just press R and start running away

[@Desabuser]

In League, there is special interactions between certain champions when they meet on the field. One of them is between Warwick (supposed Vander) and Jinx (Powder). Warwick says "You were there" and separately "Let me forget". I imagine you understand

[@simo4051]

Actually that Warwick is the father of Jinx and Vi u can see him in the last episode when Singed take his body after his death and made him a monster we may see it in the next season

[@artboymoy]

Wow, you guys are going way deeper than I ever did into LOL. Good luck! :)

[@XHobbiesPrime]

I'm a Warwick main, he was the first champ I played and the moment they played his hunt music in Episode 3 I geeked out.

[@ammygamer]

I think it's amazing they thought of a way to introduce instance time traveling in a multiplayer game. That's some next level creative thinking when coding. On a second note, it is also amazing that the most effective way to play Fiddlesticks is to actually behave like it in game: skulking, baiting, devouring when people come to check a noise they just heard, or to assist a party member who is calling for help (both are actually you). You are encouraged to stay out of sight when playing as it. It's great when game design is inseparable from the lore.

[@taoliu3949]

Ekko's memorial is basically an older iteration of the memorial in Arcane. Powder's always been on the memorial because she was considered 'dead' having becoming Jinx. And yes, Powder is in LoL as Jinx.

[@kristiyangrigorov5232]

10:30 the wolf is actually Vander. It's not confirmed yet but there are too many references that he will become Warwick in the tv show. For example in the tv show in the very first episode they called him,,The Hound of the Underground", in episode 3 Silco called him,,lap dog" and Warwick's Hunt theme started playing when they dragged him to the room. When he injected the shimmer in himself he became a monster. His growls are exactly like Warwick's in-game. Also in-game he has voice lines to other champions like: To Jinx: "Let me forget... " and "You were there... " To Vi: "Who taught you how to punch?", "The fear in your eyes. I've seen it before." and "Zaun needed you!" (the last one references to vi's story that she becomes enforcer in Piltover so maybe we will see that in season 2 Sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker :D

[@CarlieAndAnge]

Yep its looking likely!

[@scottisitt]

6:30 If you look up Ekko's Champion Spotlight on the League of Legends channel, it'll explain his abilities and limitations of those abilities. BTW, his device is called the Z-Drive.

[@delta3540]

The Boy With glasses in the memorial wall is Ajuna a close friend to Ekko that was killed and Ekko did his best to save him by using the time Rewinder but he couldn't and it kinda became a regret to him ... Also about fiddlesticks he is everywhere in the world and he mimic others voices in their moment of fear ! He even witnessed Jinx childhood since in the game he mimic others Bullying her by saying " All your fault Jinx "

[@gastaohumbertoestevesjunio7177]

It IS Vander. Vander is hanging next to Singed on the episode 9 of Arcane, already with claws. It is shown on the final scene, when Jinx is firing the Fishbone weapon. In the same scene, Singed is looking at the portrait of Orianna, another League of Legends champion and his daughter.

[@lendysfuenmayor9222]

Yeah and the videos are not the only type of content they have, like the amount of written stories is INSANE, like there’s at least two stories for each champion in the game (there’s like +150 champs rn) and tons and tons of other stories that give a lot of worldbuilding

[@fawli86]

If you notice in episode 3 around the climax where Vander was hulking out, that Warwick theme played in the background. That's how we knew he was going to turn to Warwick.

[@kah0326]

The boy depicted in the mural is named Ajuna. He was Ekko’s friend and was killed prior in the lore. His death is depicted in a comic and shows that Ekko couldn’t save him due to the nature of the time traveling abilities. He can only go so far back so no matter what route he took he was unable to reach him in time. Ekko is a perfectionist because he understands how valuable saving even one second can make a difference and Arcane really showed that in his fight with Jinx, even before getting his time travel abilities

[@DoSoConfidently]

I remember when the Brawm cinematic came out at his release! He is absolutely the most wholesome character of the game, even above Cait lol. He's very happy and chipper and just never in a bad mood. The Poro is the fuzzy creature. They are specific to the "ARAM" map (All Random All Mid - a shortened game mode of sorts with only one lane and slightly different rules) On this map, the poros run around as decoration and you start the game with 2 snacks you can give them. If everyone on the map (both teams) feed the same poro, it "explodes" into a ton of little poros that will run around for the rest of the game. If Braum feeds any of these, they grow a "majestic mustache". It's adorable lol.

[@CarlieAndAnge]

He is so wholesome!

[@elijahmason4129]

Ekko's sword is made from a hand of Camille's clocktower! as a fiddlesticks main it was awesome to see what you guys thought of him can't wait for more!

[@blazingbarreljay137]

A little inside about many stories that were a result of statues, which are important in League because they bring blessings of Spirits. Zaun used to have many statues of Janna, a wind spirit which got destroyed whether it was a result of industrialization or construction so the wind she brought stopped coming and left Zaun with toxic gas. Zaun is normally also a port city so the winds that naturally led there stopped coming resulting in crime's uprising and the Chem Baron's rising.

[@blazingbarreljay137]

Warwick tells Vi "who taught you how to punch?" and Jinx "I know you were there!" so he has slight material of memories of what made him.

[@SaintBison209]

Fun fact. When riot games or Netflix or whichever account they used to post that season 2 was already in production back in November on Twitter. They posted it with about a 30-second teaser trailer. You hear a few of the characters voices talking but then you hear that sound that you hear when Warwick goes on the hunt in the game. If you ever needed any further proof besides the fact that he was literally hanging from the ceiling with his claw in the last 30 seconds of the final episode. Yep there's more confirmation for you 👌

[@CarlieAndAnge]

Oh yes its definitely looking likely now!

[@FabiTheSnake]

The reveal for Warwick (for the rework atleast) Was so great, it was teased with Singed´s Documentation of the experiments, you should really read about that, the end screen with singed is a direct reference to one of the teaser pics in the story.

[@xKillAngelx]

Also, now that you have seen Fiddlesticks teaser, check out his concept art music video. Amazing piece

[@CarlieAndAnge]

We’ll put it on the list 😊
