Ambessa is set to become the newest League of Legends champion, and players are wondering about her release date. Considering many knew about her since Ambessa was in Arcane, the hype levels surrounding the lore-rich character are pulsing.

Ambessa first appeared in Arcane as a warlord with an intimidating presence. Like most releases, the new LoL champion, Ambessa, could feature an unmatched power level during her debut. For that reason, the demand for Ambessa is likely to be high during her first week or so, and here’s when that will be.

What is Ambessa’s release date in LoL?

Ambessa's exact release date in League of Legends is November 6, 2024. The new LoL champ is expected to roll out with patch 14.22 alongside balance changes and potentially new features.

When it comes to Ambessa release time, 6am ET would be a healthy guess since that’s when most League patches release following a short maintenance. While the release time could slightly change from patch to patch, there don't tend to be major delays.

LoL’s Ambessa release is unique since she had some decent screen time on Arcane. Since the new champ in League of Legends was already known by the fans, the release naturally becomes more exciting with all the lore bits.

Who will be League’s next champion after Ambessa?

At the time of writing, it’s currently unclear how the calendar looks for Riot Games following November. If League of Legends’ Ambessa were to start a trend, players wouldn't mind seeing more characters featured in the Arcane. The show and other Riot titles like Legends of Runeterra are excellent gateways for new champions since they have a lot of room to tell stories.

Over the last couple of years, Riot expanded its universe with various titles, giving fans more chances to immerse themselves into the League’s rich lore. To support the Arcane rollout initiative, we would love to see Mel Medarda make her way to LoL as well, who is Ambessa’s daughter. The two don't quite see eye-to-eye, though, so having them both in the same match or even the same lane, could make room for entertaining voice lines.

What role will Ambessa be in League of Legends?

Ambessa is expected to be a top-lane champion based on her League of Legends ability rundown. From a dash to powerful wave cleaners, Ambessa’s kit is loaded with abilities that would make her an excellent champion in solo lanes.

On rare occasions, Ambessa may even take over the mid-lane, mostly against melees and other champs that she directly counters.
