Riot Games has announced that its upcoming League of Legends trading card game will be known as Riftbound, marking a shift from its previous working title. The new physical card game, set to launch with its inaugural Origins set, aims to bring the strategic excitement of League of Legends to tabletops worldwide.

Riftbound is designed to accommodate both one-on-one duels and larger multiplayer battles. The Origins set will offer players a collection of more than 300 cards featuring an array of fan-favorite champions, including Jinx, Lux, Yasuo, Lee Sin, Annie, Viktor, and Master Yi. The game’s launch will include several products tailored to different types of players. Ready-to-play Champion Decks will offer a complete 56-card lineup built around popular champions, while the Proving Grounds starter set will provide a box set ideal for 2–4 players looking to explore the game’s mechanics. Collectors and competitive deckbuilders can also expect booster packs that introduce a variety of card rarities.

In response to community input, Riot Games has updated both the game’s user interface and its original card artwork. The changes are part of a broader effort to refine gameplay and appeal to both longtime fans and newcomers to the League of Legends universe. Demos are scheduled to take place at upcoming Riot and tabletop events, offering players a chance to experience Riftbound firsthand.

Riftbound will debut in China during the summer of 2025 under the title 符文战场, with a subsequent launch in English-speaking territories planned for October 2025. The game’s development includes collaboration with UVS Games, a veteran in the trading card arena, to ensure widespread availability and organized play. Additionally, the naming rights for Riftbound were secured through a partnership with indie developer Barrel Smash Studios, who contributed their title to Riot’s project.

Riftbound represents a fresh chapter in the League of Legends franchise, merging digital legacy with a new, tangible gaming experience.
