Insider Big Bad Bear has shared new information about the next Darkin in the League of Legends universe. According to him, the mysterious Darkin Glaive will be mentioned for the first time next week with the release of the champion Yunara, and later on, it will become a full-fledged playable character.

Who is Darkin Glaive and What is Known About It
Big Bad Bear claims that the Darkin with a name featuring a double "A" (similar to Aatrox, Rhaast, and Naafiri) will become part of the storyline in the new phase of the meta-game related to the Hyperbloom event. It is during this time that the Dark Blade will awaken. According to the insider, the storyline will unfold across several regions of Runeterra—from Noxus to Demacia .

The story will begin with the involvement of characters such as LeBlanc, Darius, Xin Zhao, and possibly other participants in the Noxian invasion. Later, the story will move to Demacia , but the insider did not reveal further events.

Gameplay and Role
The role of the Dark Blade has not been confirmed yet. According to the insider, Riot is considering it as a potential champion for the top lane or jungle, but there is also a possibility that it could be an unconventional support. The exact gameplay style and skill set are still kept under wraps.

Rumors suggest that more information about the Darkin will be revealed next week alongside the release of Yunara. It is expected that the Dark Blade will become a playable champion by the end of the current year, presumably in the next competitive season.
