'Dota 2': Monkey King Coming End Of Fall, Here's Everything We Know So Far
J Rose"Dota 2" is introducing a brand new hero to the game, the legendary Monkey King. Here is everything we know about the new character so far.
What New Skills Should We Expect?
Valve has not released any specific information about Monkey King beyond the teaser trailer, however, and the developer has yet to divulge the new hero's abilities and stats.
However, Monkey King's old abilities from the 6.80 beta can be found on the "DOTA 2" Gamepedia, so this should be more or less what we can expect from the new hero. His abilities are detailed below:

Out of the old skills, Nimble Nimbus is said to be possibly retained by the upcoming Monkey King, according to Red Bull. The site also predicted that Valve may be getting inspiration from the other Monkey King variations from other MOBA games like "League of Legends," "Smite," "Heroes of Newerth."
When Will Monkey King Be Released?
Monkey King is said to be included in the Journey update, which will be arriving sometime around Fall this year.
Valve said that its next "Dota 2" patch update will be coming after the Boston Major ends on Dec. 10, according to PC Games N. The developer mentioned in an announcement that the next update is expected to land "at the tail end of fall, on Dec. 12, 2016."
