Riot Games, which now serves double duty as a game developer and production company, has been silent on its development, simply claiming that they don't plan on rushing it. “I just watched the third episode of Season 2 before my flight to China, so we're making progress on it,” Riot Games CEO Nicolo Laurent said in an interview, mentioning two main reasons for the long wait. “One, you want the quality, you just don't wanna rush, and so that takes time. So that's the good reason.”

The second reason is that the team never expected Arcane season 1 to be a success. Had they predicted it somehow, work on season 2 would have likely begun way in advance.

It took six years to develop the first season of Arcane, so there are bound to be several rewrites and ideas floating around in those pages that need to be cleared out.
