Riftbound’s 2026 Set Release Schedule Is Taking Shape, But Can Riot Keep Up With Demand?

Riftbound landed precocious successful 2025, and the wide vibe astir Riot’s League of Legends paper crippled has been that it’s amusive to play - it’s conscionable not ever casual to get clasp of.

With an Origins restock dropping this week, the Riot storefront erstwhile again crashed out, leaving players frustrated successful their attempts to get starter sets, decks, packs, and more.

While it remains to beryllium seen if Riot tin hole those teething issues from its archetypal set, the bully quality is that determination are 4 planned for 2026. Here’s everything coming to Riftbound this year.

February 13 - Spiritforged

Spiritforged volition beryllium the archetypal post-launch acceptable for Riftbound, and volition apt springiness america a bully thought of what to expect from sets going forward.

New this clip astir are mechanics similar Equipment which tin beryllium attached to Units, Gold that tin beryllium spent, and caller keywords similar Quick-Draw, Repeat, and Weaponmaster.

As for caller Legends, you’ll beryllium capable to drawback cardboard versions of Azir, Draven, Ezreal, Fiora, Jax, Rumble, Rek’Sai, Ornn, Sivir, Lucian, Rneata Glasc, and Irelia.

Q2 2026 - Unleashed

While different TCGs (ahem, Magic: The Gathering) volition overlap previews with releases, Riot is squarely focused connected Spiritforged for present - truthful details astir Unleashed are beauteous scarce astatine the clip of writing.

Expect it to present caller mechanics arsenic with its predecessor, but we’re besides expecting to spot the accomplishment of fan-favorite Vi arsenic a Legend, alongside Master Yi, Rengar, and LeBlanc.

We’ll update this leafage arsenic much accusation becomes available.

Q3 2026 - Vendetta

Again, accusation for different upcoming acceptable is bladed connected the crushed for Riftbound’s Vendetta. We cognize it’ll travel successful Q3 (or astatine least, that’s the plan), and that Mel, Akali, and Ambessa are apt to arrive.

Riot has besides suggested that Vendetta volition spot it merge the Chinese and North American merchandise schedules into one. Here’s hoping the proviso issues are sorted by then…

Q4 2026 - Radiance

While we person the acceptable sanction for Radiance, we person nary further information. What Legends volition it include? What mechanics? ANYTHING!?

Until Riot is acceptable to talk, it remains a mystery, but arsenic ever we’ll person this leafage updated arsenic we perceive more.

What astir Origins?

Origins is inactive Riftbound’s existent set, and portion it’s pugnacious to get clasp of, that should get easier successful the coming months (otherwise, Riot volition beryllium successful large trouble).

The motorboat set’s tutorial set, dubbed Proving Grounds, is inactive going for inflated prices connected the secondary market, making it tricky to, you know, larn however to play the game.

The aforesaid tin beryllium said of the preconstructed decks for Jinx, Lee Sin, and Victor, but anecdotally, I’ve astatine slightest seen immoderate banal of those connected section crippled stores, adjacent if they’re not ever readily disposable online.

Boosters are a mixed container - sometimes you’ll find some, but you’re improbable to find a container close now.

As we said astatine launch: “Sadly, arsenic the archetypal acceptable of Riot’s archetypal paper crippled hits shelves, it’s being snapped up by scalpers and enactment connected the secondary market.

“It’s a modular signifier successful TCGs, but Riot is reportedly printing more. If you tin clasp out, determination volition beryllium much product.”

That inactive rings existent contiguous - enactment strong, and hold it out.
