I suggest incorporating this source and this source, as well as creating a reception section, which is direly needed here. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:38, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Riftbound: League of Legends Trading Card Game (known simply and more commonly as Riftbound) is an upcoming trading card game developed by Riot Games, set in the League of Legends universe. The English version is being published by UVS Games, while the Chinese release is handled by Shining Soul.

Development

[edit]

Development of Riftbound began in 2023,[2] led by game director Dave Guskin, who previously served as director for Riot Games' digital trading card game (TCG) Legends of Runeterra,[3] and executive producer Chengran Chai.[4] In September 2024, a trailer for Rune Battlegrounds, an upcoming TCG based on the League of Legends intellectual property, was leaked on Twitter. The game was scheduled for release in early 2025 exclusively in China, with no plans for a global release.[5] In December 2024, Riot Games officially announced the TCG under the working title Project K, confirming its release for early 2025 in China. A global release was also confirmed; however, no release date was provided, as Riot had yet to secure a publishing partner for other regions.[2] In February 2025, UVS Games was announced as official publishing and distribution partner for English-speaking countries, with additional global regions planned for 2026.[6] Next month, Riot announced the title of the game as Riftbound: League of Legends Trading Card Game, with a planned launch in China in Summer 2025. Shining Soul was confirmed as the publisher and distributor in the region. The English-language release is scheduled for October 31, 2025.[7][8][9]
