The devastated king will finally rule the Rift later this month.
Unrest confirmed League of Legendsan emerging jungle, Viego, during the live stream of today’s season 11. Although there is no set release date yet, the new champion is likely to hit the live servers with Patch 11.2 on January 21st.
Viego’s full capabilities package has not yet been announced, but Riot has offered fans a small piece of its game. It looks like Viego will be able to take over an enemy champion and briefly if they can play.
Riot teased Viego earlier in the September Champion Roadmap, calling him a ‘romantic new jungle skirmish’ that ‘distorts hearts and possesses minds’. This may indicate a kind of charm, which gives it a form of CC.
Viego will also appear as the title antagonist for Riot Forge’s upcoming RPG, The Ruined King: A League of Legends Story. Players will cross Bilgewater and sail to the Shadow Isles to explore the deadly Black Mist. Six League champions will be playable characters in the turn-based RPG, including Miss Fortune, Ahri, Illaoi, Yasuo, Braum and Pyke.
