The development team at Riot Games is announcing that the next hero that will be added to League of Legends is named River King and will introduce a number of new possibilities to the Multiplayer Online Battle Arena title.

The official video does not have a detailed description and the studio only states, "Desperate times call for desperate measures. I can make you a fine bargain… but you gotta be willing to pay the price."

The new League of Legends hero seems to be designed to be a tank that has abilities related to the river on the game map, with the community currently speculating about the way the development team aims to tweak the core elements of the game.

Presumably, Riot Games will offer more information on the River King at some point during the coming week and might even introduce the new hero soon after.

League of Legends is also revealing the sales schedule for the month of July, giving gamers a chance to plan how they will use their money.

The MOBA is delivering new content and constant patches, in order to retain its extensive player base, and Riot Games has also been trying to improve the interactions between players in the past few months.
