Learn More About League of Legends' New Champion Locke in Champion Spotlight

League of Legends is finally releasing a new champion after nearly six months since the last one. With Zaahen launching in November of 2025, it feels like it's been a long time since we had the opportunity to take on the role of a new champion.

Now, Locke is just around the corner, as players will be able to take on the role of the newest mid-lane mage assassin. Sporting a deadly kit of abilities, the Ashen Exorcist will be jumping into the Summoner's Rift shortly, taking down his foes alongside him.

His new champion spotlight has been released, inviting players to learn more about his kit and how he'll interact in the Rift. As usual, Riot Phreak takes his role as presenter, showing off the abilities that Locke will be using and giving us an overview of what we can expect.

For those who want to learn more in-depth, however, you can check out our Everything You Need to Know About Locke, the Ashen Exorcist's Abilities — Overview article, where we talk about his attacks, scaling, and more. It's a deep-dive look at his numbers and attacks, all based on the information now available in the League of Legends PBE.

Locke will be launching in the next update, Patch 26.13, on the 24th of June 2026.
