Happy VENDETTA release day! We have some thoughts coming soon and are excited to share, but check out the press release from Riot Games and the Riftbound crew below~
Some rivalries can only be settled on the Rift.
Riftbound: Vendetta, the fourth set for the Riftbound: League of Legends Trading Card Game (TCG), is now available worldwide in English and Simplified Chinese. Arriving one year after the TCG’s debut in China, it is the first set to release in these two languages simultaneously, bringing players across every region into the same launch, opening new packs and chasing the same rivalries side by side. The milestone reflects how far Riftbound has traveled in its first year, from its debut sets and earliest Regional Qualifiers to a worldwide community now moving forward together.
Centered on the rivalries that define the League of Legends universe, Vendetta brings new champions, new mechanics, and a new way for two players to face off head-to-head. From clashing domains to grudge matches years in the making, Vendetta is a set built on conflict. What you need to know:
- Over 160 cards to collect, including more than 50 Showcase cards.
- Nine Champion Legends enter the Rift, including Akali, Kennen, Zed, Shen, Mel, Jayce, Ambessa, Nasus, and Renekton.
- Rivalries take center stage, with a special Showcase series spotlighting rival duos such as Vi and Jinx and Jayce and Viktor.
- New domain combinations debut for the first time, pairing Fury and Calm (red and green, Akali), Mind and Body (blue and orange, Jayce), and Chaos and Order (purple and yellow, Kennen) for fresh deckbuilding across domains.
- Showdown Decks arrive, Riftbound’s first two-player preconstructed product, letting two players go head-to-head as Zed and Shen right out of the box.
Players can pick up Riftbound: Vendetta at the official Riot Games Store and at select local game stores, with booster packs, Showdown Decks, and the Vendetta Vault, giving players plenty of ways to ignite the rivalry.

Vendetta is tournament-legal right away, ready for play at Riftbound Regional Qualifiers around the world, including stops in:
- Barcelona (August 21-23)
- Singapore (September 4-6)
- Los Angeles (September 25-27)
With Regional Qualifiers running across NA, EMEA, and APAC throughout 2026, players everywhere can put Vendetta’s new champions, Legends, and rivalries to the test on the road to a championship.
