Riot Games released a major hint about the upcoming Darkin champion who will join League of Legends. The recently released client-based minigame “The Demon’s Hand” presents both engaging gameplay and significant lore connections.
The game reveals details about Atakhan, League of Legends’ newest epic monster, while exploring how LeBlanc succeeded in imprisoning him.
At the game's conclusion a comic panel shows LeBlanc and Vladimir hinting at a new Darkin weapon which suggests that another Darkin champion will join League of Legends soon.
A new Darkin weapon in Runeterra?
Darkin weapons represent sentient weapons which contain a Darkin - a corrupted Ascended who has fallen. Aatrox and Kayn demonstrate Darkin weapon usage with their massive sword and living scythe Rhaast serving as key examples.
At the climax of The Demon’s Hand comic panel LeBlanc questions Atakhan about where to find a Darkin weapon which suggests that a new Darkin character will soon appear.
The little yet important detail matches Riot's standard approach of hinting at upcoming champions through lore-based material.
Next Darkin character going to appear from Legends of Runeterra?
The recent release of Mel in League of Legends makes it an optimal moment for Riot to introduce another champion. Riot Games has yet to disclose official details but players suspect that the next Darkin character might come from Legends of Runeterra which features multiple new Darkin figures.
Fans need to wait for Riot's official confirmation to find out if the new Darkin will be an original character or a known figure from Runeterra lore. The arrival of a new Darkin champion will bring dynamic changes to the Rift regardless of their origin.
