During the first Riot Games showcase for 2023, the second League of Legends champion was officially revealed. While it was only the name, there is still some context that was added for this new champion and when they would be coming. Here is the likely PBE Release Date for the newest champion coming to League of Legends in 2023, Naafiri.

This champion was teased back in 2022 when they were showing off K’Sante and what fans could expect for 2023. As per usual, there will be anywhere from four to five new champions joining the League of Legends roster. This also is normally a theme revolving around these champions but as of right now, 2023 feels like it may be a little more targeted but in a different way.

The Riot Games dev team has made it clear that these champions are mostly hitting regions and aspects that have not had much love in the past few years. For example, Naafiri will be the first Darkin champion to come out in over half a decade. Kayn was released back in 2017.

Naafiri will be a champion that is seemingly very easily identified by being the Darkin Dagger along with the eye that is seen in the initial tease. During this latest update on the champion, it is clear that these eys have a lot to do with it.

Along with Naafiri being a Darkin, this champion is notably one of the first non-humanoid champions in a long time. Even though Bel’Veth technically fit this description, she still had a human head attached to her. Naafiri is rumored to be some sort of wolf, and one that will hopefully not look too much like Warwick.

They will be intended to be a mid lane assassin, whether that will actually be the case or not is not completely known at this time. That is due to the fact that the Naafiri Abilities are only speculative at this point. As Riot likes to do, they mix things in with the description they give of the champion. It will be interesting to see what the players figure out from it all.

As for the League of Legends Naafiri PBE Release Date, she will be coming after Milio and that is generally about three months difference. That means that fans should expect to see Naafiri sometime in May, around Patch 13.10 or 13.11.
