I have a hunch it will be soon :P

But to answer your question, it used to be around every 3 weeks but thats been slipping for a while now, but i think most of that was to do with worlds and LCS, now that this is over we should be able to get back to a more normal release pattern :)

Here's the announcement, that they will be slowing down champion releases from about 2-3 weeks to about 3-4 weeks. They also state that they were aiming at releasing ~14 new champions in 2013.
Currently they have 6 ( 7 if you count Jinx ) :
-Thresh : 1-23-2013
-Quinn : 3-1-2013 ( 36 day or 5 weeks later )
-Zac : 3-29-2013 ( 28 days or 4 weeks later )
-Lissandra : 4-30-2013 ( 32 days or 4 a half weeks later )
-Aatrox : 6-13-2013 ( 44 days or 6 weeks later )
-Lucian : 8-22-2013 ( 50 days or 7 weeks later )
-Jinx : Somewhere around 10-10-2013 ( 49 days or 7 weeks later )
( Although she got an awesome music video, so that's forgiven )

So you can say that they need ~ 5 a half weeks for every new champion.
Hope that helped.
