Won't happen.

#

We will get giant (as a unit)
but no kings

#

already confirmed for AP (leaked, to be precise)

#

giant kings are a ruler type for the expansion that was just released.

#

not sure that fiend or celestial really fit thematically though.

#

giants and dragons are on a similar level as fiends and celestials

#

thing is, the giant kings types are themed on terrain and terraforming. Fiends and celestials have nothing to do with that.

#

like what's the fiend giant king gonna do? Terraform terrain to desolate? That's already what the fire giant king does.

But im all hyped for enormous fiend unit like Diablo or a gigantic celestial being with all might and glory.

#

so we have a chance for swamp, forest and desert giant; desert could be sun giant and could be the celestial one

There won't be more kings, only normal t4 mythic giants. Maybe t5 versions

I think the archon expansion is adding more giant units. But no words on giant kings being extended

#

Maybe adding gigantic fiend/celestial ruler types asubtypes for Champion and Wizard King?

#

This would leave the Giant Kings as they're and offer the towering figures of good and evil.

Archon looks like it's a culture expansion rather than a ruler expansion, so I wouldn't bet on new ruler types. They MIGHT go back an do a rework of champion and wizard king, maybe, but they just did the skill rework not so long ago, so I wouldn't bet on an overhaul to give subtypes or anything. It's much more likely, I think, that we'll get a rework to an existing culture alongside whatever the new culture will be.
