Rivalries are igniting across Runeterra! The highly anticipated Riftbound Vendetta expansion officially launches at The POP! Shop on July 31, 2026. This fourth set is a monumental milestone for the trading card game community. For the first time in the game's history, players in North America and China will experience a synchronized global release date. You no longer have to wait months to play with the strategies you see online.
The Vendetta set is entirely focused on the most iconic grudges and conflicts in the League of Legends universe. Will you are align with Piltover? Perhaps Zaun, or even the vast deserts of Shurima? Vendetta provides incredible new tools to trade mighty blows with either our local meta or even events beyond northern Ohio!
Master New Dual-Domain Pairings
The biggest mechanical shift arriving with the Riftbound Vendetta release is the introduction of dual-domain pairings. Previously, players had to build their strategies around single alignments. Now, you can combine specific color themes to unlock powerful new synergies. The new legal combinations include Fury and Calm (red and green), Mind and Body (blue and orange), and Chaos and Order (purple and yellow). This opens up massive deck-building possibilities for calm strategists and the sweatiest competitors around!
To fully support these new pairings, Riot Games has established a new standard of introducing nine Champion Legends per set moving forward. Players can look forward to building decks around legendary rivals like Nasus and Renekton, Akali, Mel, Ambessa, Zed, and Shen. The expansion also significantly expands the collectible side of the game. You will want to hunt for the brand-new Showcase cards. There are over 50 of these premium cards in the set, featuring stunning alternate artwork that spotlights famous duos like Vi and Jinx or Jayce and Viktor.
