Now video game powerhouse Riot Games is entering the arena with Riftbound, a brand new trading card game (TCG) based on its biggest IP, League of Legends. The first set, named Origins, will launch with 300 cards featuring a mix of champions, legends, spells, gear, runes, units and battlegrounds. While the final designs and gameplay mechanics are still in development, the team at Riot has been actively incorporating community feedback.
