It’s hard to believe that League of Legends has been around for over 15 years, but when you look at how far the game has come in that time, it’s easy to see how it gained its success. Earlier this year, Riot Games announced their next project for the tabletop genre would come in the form of a trading card game; and after much anticipation, it will be known as Riftbound!
Riftbound TCG, named after Summoners Rift, the arena where the online MOBA is fought, promises an exciting new take on the League of Legends universe that showcases the environment and champions that fans have come to love.
Of course, this isn’t the first time Riot Games have taken on this genre of games. With their successful online trading game, Legends of Runeterra and their tabletop board game, Mechs vs Minions: they’re well versed in finding new ways to bring the League of Legends universe to more fans.
