Based on recent leaks, League of Legends is preparing a new Champion called Locke. It seems like we will have to wait for around a month until the reveal, but Locke will be an AP-oriented champion that will be similar to Ekko. Here is what we know.
Locke, the new League of Legends Champion
The leaks regarding the latest League of Legends champion come from Big Bad Bear & League of Legends Leaks & News on X. Based on it, we can see that the champion has a weapon that looks like a dagger made from anti-magical material.
Assuming the new champion, Locke, joins the action, he will be the 16th one from Demacia and LoL in general will have over 172 options. Demacia is an interesting region from the game’s lore, and it is home to several other champions. This includes Garen, Lux, Sylas, Jarvan IV and Xin Zhao.
League of Legends Locke Release Date
Sadly, we do not have any official information about the LoL Locke release data. There is a good chance he will arrive later this year, but we will have to wait and see. Riot already shared some information about the upcoming League of Legends Patch 26.03, and the new champion is not there.
Speaking of new champions, this will most likely not be the only major change we’ll see this year. Even though Riot already announced that the major in-game changes will arrive in 2027, we believe that we’ll see some of them in 2026.
As for those who follow the esports scene, we already made a review of the hottest international LoL tournaments we’ll see this year. The action is just around the corner, so keep an eye on our site for more details
