Check out some of the new cards from the upcoming Riftbound: UNLEASHED set!

We have an exclusive Riftbound reveal for y’all! Today, Riot Games has allowed us to share some new cards from their third set, Riftbound: Unleashed! Unleashed is set to release in China on April 10 and the rest of the world on May 8, 2026. It also features a new card rarity, “Ultimate Rarity,” which will add a single yet very, very, hard-to-find overnumbered card in all Riftbound sets going forward. Without further ado, here are the cards!

Concentrate

First up, we have Concentrate, a spell that should complement existing Master Yi decks or other Body domain (orange) decks that need to accelerate some lategame Calm domain (green) cards. If you’ve been refining your Master Yi – Honed deck, this card should help you ramp up by drawing cards for cheap in the event you’ve accumulated enough XP. One of Unleashed’s new mechanics is XP, a resource that is acquired from defeating enemies. Acquiring XP levels you (the player) up, meaning that when you’re Level 6, Concentrate costs 3 (instead of 5).

Next up, we have…

Blood Rose

Right off the bat, Blood Rose looks like an excellent fit for a LeBlanc deck. If you saw Arcane Season II, you’ll remember LeBlanc as being a pivotal member of the Black Rose. With Blood Rose, players can pay a remaining rune for XP that can be used to ready another unit. I’d imagine that it could come in handy when playing LeBlanc immediately, no? Regardless, I’m loving the color scheme and the art.

Megatusk

Megatusk! A gigantic serpentine walrus-lookin’ beast that’s beefy beyond all get out. Okay, he’s not as beefy as Volibear, but…he’s a beefy boi. Plus, there’s a Gangplank-inspired easter egg – definitely a nice touch for Bilgewater fans. Megatusk looks quite powerful for some Chaos (purple) decks, perhaps a Miss Fortune – Bounty Hunter or a Yasuo – Unforgiven deck. When spending three XP, Megatusk grants all units (on the same battlefield or area, I assume) ganking. I can foresee Megatusk assisting in making plays that turn the tide of battle if you have enough units alongside it.
