Riot Games has shared a detailed look at what’s ahead for Riftbound: The League of Legends Trading Card Game, revealing updates to the game’s 2026 roadmap across competitive play, upcoming set releases, preview timelines, and languages.

Riot also confirmed release timing for Riftbound’s next two sets. Riftbound: Vendetta, the fourth set, launches globally on July 31, with English and Simplified Chinese releases synchronized for the first time, and introduces Riftbound’s first enemy faction pairings. Riftbound: Radiance, the fifth set, follows later in the year on October 23, bringing fan-favorite champions Ekko and Seraphine to the Rift. Preview seasons will roll out throughout the year, beginning with Riftbound: Unleashed previews on March 16, followed by Riftbound: Vendetta this Summer and Riftbound: Radiance in the Fall.
In addition to adding French to Riftbound in midyear 2026, Riot confirmed Riftbound players will soon be able to get cards in Chinese Traditional later this year.
