League of Legends’ newest champion, Zaahen, has been revealed.
Another champion joins League of Legends‘ ever-expanding roster. This time, it’s a new Darkin called Zaahen.
Zaahen was first revealed back in March of this year, in the client-based minigame called “The Demon’s Hand”. Along with something new to play, the game also gave us some insight into League’s newest epic monster, Atakhan, and information about a new Darkin weapon, a Darkin Glaive.
Although we didn’t know the time, but that Darkin Glaive would turn out to be Zaahen, League’s newest champion. Since then, there have been a bunch of leaks regarding the champion, but no official information, until now.
In the latest 2025 Season 3 Cinematic, Twilight’s End, Riot revealed how Zaahen came to be. For the sake of spoilers, we will not discuss his origins much further. However, what we will discuss is his abilities and take a look at his Splash Art. So without further ado, let’s dive into it.
