Riot unveiled four new champions for League of Legends season 13 earlier this year. Millio and Naafiri are two of them who have already been revealed. The new Jungler Brair will be launched following Naafiri.

There isn’t much information available about Brair. However, according to Riot, he will be the game’s first real Vampire champion and will most likely be from Noxus. Riot has also recently published a new teaser for the champion, providing us with further details.

Briar teaser from VALORANT cinematic

Riot produced a cinematic called UNMADE in conjunction with the recent release of VALORANT’s newest agent Deadlock. There are several references to Brair in it. The Norwegian team Deadlock was a member of was apparently called Brair.

In a previous teaser for Deadlock, a folder named Brair was also featured. When Zeri was launched, something similar to this was done. Zeri and Neon were both released in both League and VALORANT at the same time. Briar is also being developed by Riot August, who also made Zeri and Neon. So, there’s a potential we’ll see another simultaneous release for Riot’s other big title.

This new savage jungler’s roots may be traced back to the appearance of Naafiri. Riot Games was on the lookout for mechanisms that mirrored her “fervent hunger.”

Briar is probably definitely a sort of Noxian vampire. She is a Diver/Skirmisher champion, according to Riot Games. The developer even refers to her as ‘the beast,’ hinting that she’ll be a vampiric skirmisher with high-impact plays.

Briar’s release date has yet to be determined. However, she is anticipated to be released around September or October.
