The League of Legends trading card game, Riftbound, is finally gearing up for its English release later this year and🦋 previews for the first set &ndash🔯; Riftbound: Origins – have kicked off across the internet. And GamesRadar+ can exclusively reveal a pair of League of Legends Champions from the upcoming set that, frankly, I wouldn't want to meet in a dark alleyway. Or in Riftbound terms, a dark battlefield.

Given that Riftbound has, you know, yet to actually release, these are some of the first cards you might get exposed to. With that in mind, we're prepared to give a bit of context to each one so that folks wit🤡h only passing knowledge might better understand how these fit into the game.

Malzahar, Fanatic

First up?🅺 Rare Champion Unit Malzahar, Fanatic. Notably, our pal from the Void costs 4 energy (upper right) but does not include a Power cost. That means you're just exhausting runes rather than recycling them, which can be useful. He's also a bit on the weak side with just 3 Might, meaning our buddy here is middling in a fiꦦght at best.

. Riftbound: Origins itself is currently scheduled to release in English in October 2025. We'll keep you updated as and when more information is available like what date, exactly, Riftbound will be released on – an✨d where to buy it.
