Riftbound’s 2026 Set Release Schedule Is Taking Shape, With Release Dates Now Confirmed For The Whole Year

IGN · 5 hours ago

Riot Games has confirmed release dates for the rest of its physical Riftbound trading card game's 2026 sets, giving players a clearer picture of the game's roadmap after a launch marred by stock shortages and scalping. The update matters because Riftbound, based on League of Legends, has been well-received for its gameplay but criticised for poor availability since its late-2025 debut, and the new schedule suggests supply issues are easing as more product reaches shelves.

The confirmed sets are Spiritforged (13 February 2026), which introduced Equipment, Gold and new keywords alongside Legends such as Fiora and Rumble; Unleashed (8 May 2026), the current set, which added a jungler-focused theme and a new "Ultimate" card rarity, so far limited to a single Baron Nashor card appearing in under 1% of packs; Vendetta (31 July 2026), a smaller 166-card set featuring Legends including Zed and Akali, and set to merge Riftbound's Chinese and North American release schedules; and Radiance (23 October 2026), for which no further details have yet been revealed. Riot has also reportedly increased print runs of the original Origins set, making starter decks and boosters easier to find closer to their recommended retail price.

  • Riftbound's full 2026 set release schedule has been confirmed by Riot.
  • Vendetta lands 31 July, Radiance follows 23 October; details on Radiance are unknown.
  • Stock shortages from launch appear to be easing as more product ships.
