Riftbound landed late in 2025, and the general vibe around Riot’s League of Legends card game has been that it’s fun to play – it’s just not always easy to get hold of.
With an Origins restock dropping this week, the Riot storefront once again crashed out, leaving players frustrated in their attempts to get starter sets, decks, packs, and more.
While it remains to be seen if Riot can fix those teething issues from its first set, the good news is that there are four planned for 2026. Here’s everything coming to Riftbound this year.
February 13 – Spiritforged
Spiritforged will be the first post-launch set for Riftbound, and will likely give us a good idea of what to expect from sets going forward.
New this time around are mechanics like Equipment which can be attached to Units, Gold that can be spent, and new keywords like Quick-Draw, Repeat, and Weaponmaster.
As for new Legends, you’ll be able to grab cardboard versions of Azir, Draven, Ezreal, Fiora, Jax, Rumble, Rek’Sai, Ornn, Sivir, Lucian, Rneata Glasc, and Irelia.
Q2 2026 – Unleashed
While other TCGs (ahem, Magic: The Gathering) will overlap previews with releases, Riot is squarely focused on Spiritforged for now – so details about Unleashed are pretty scarce at the time of writing.
Expect it to introduce new mechanics as with its predecessor, but we’re also expecting to see the arrival of fan-favorite Vi as a Legend, alongside Master Yi, Rengar, and LeBlanc.
We’ll update this page as more information becomes available.
Q3 2026 – Vendetta
Again, information for another upcoming set is thin on the ground for Riftbound’s Vendetta. We know it’ll come in Q3 (or at least, that’s the plan), and that Mel, Akali, and Ambessa are likely to arrive.
Riot has also suggested that Vendetta will see it merge the Chinese and North American release schedules into one. Here’s hoping the supply issues are sorted by then…
Q4 2026 – Radiance
While we have the set name for Radiance, we have no further information. What Legends will it include? What mechanics? ANYTHING!?
Until Riot is ready to talk, it remains a mystery, but as always we’ll have this page updated as we hear more.
What about Origins?
Origins is still Riftbound’s current set, and while it’s tough to get hold of, that should get easier in the coming months (otherwise, Riot will be in big trouble).
The launch set’s tutorial set, dubbed Proving Grounds, is still going for inflated prices on the secondary market, making it tricky to, you know, learn how to play the game.
The same can be said of the preconstructed decks for Jinx, Lee Sin, and Victor, but anecdotally, I’ve at least seen some stock of those on local game stores, even if they’re not always readily available online.
Boosters are a mixed bag – sometimes you’ll find some, but you’re unlikely to find a box right now.
As we said at launch: “Sadly, as the first set of Riot’s first card game hits shelves, it’s being snapped up by scalpers and put on the secondary market.
“It’s a standard practice in TCGs, but Riot is reportedly printing more. If you can hold out, there will be more product.”
That still rings true today – stay strong, and wait it out.
