Riftbound: Origins Set for October 31 Release, Igniting Player Anticipation

Riftbound, the highly anticipated physical trading card game (TCG) set in the League of Legends universe, is gearing up for the launch of its debut set, "Origins," on October 31, 2025. Developer Riftbound recently engaged its community on social media, gauging player excitement as the release date approaches. The game, a collaboration between Riot Games and UVS Games, aims to translate the strategic depth of League of Legends into a collectible card game format.

The game challenges players to select a champion, assemble an army of units, and strategically deploy spells to control battlefields and score points. Riftbound's core mechanics involve building decks around iconic League of Legends champions, each influencing the available card types and overall strategy. This approach is designed to offer a familiar yet fresh experience for both TCG veterans and League of Legends fans.

In a recent social media post, Riftbound posed a question to its fanbase, stating, "> Origins is almost here. are you patiently waiting like Meditation, screaming LET ME IN at the gates like Call to Glory, or something completely new?" This playful inquiry uses two known cards from the "Origins" set to categorize player anticipation. "Meditation" is identified as a common card-draw spell, a staple for control decks, while "Call to Glory" functions as a combat trick that can buff units.

Preorders for the Riftbound: League of Legends Arcane Box Set in English commenced on September 2, 2025, allowing enthusiasts to secure their initial foray into the game. The "Origins" set will be available through local game stores and the official Riot Games Store, offering booster packs, booster boxes, a "Proving Grounds" starter set, and preconstructed Champion Decks featuring characters like Jinx, Viktor, and Lee Sin. The impending launch signals a significant expansion of the League of Legends franchise into the physical tabletop gaming space, drawing considerable attention from the TCG community.
