"DOTA 2"'s newest hero Monkey King is expected to be available in the game by December, to be released alongside the next update for the game.

Valve introduced its newest addition to the "DOTA 2" lineup, Monkey King, after the end of play in The International 2016, and has showcased the new hero in a teaser video.

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:
