Riot Games' League of Legends TCG is officially called Riftbound
The team at Riot has been incorporating player feedback into the game's first set, called Origins. This set will have more than 300 different cards, and familiar LoL champions including Jinx, Viktor and Lee Sin will star in pre-built decks for this inaugural set. For the serious collectors, there will also be secret rare versions of the champion cards with unique art.
In addition to the previously revealed multiplayer aspect, Riftbound offers a path for reaching fans who don't have experience in this card game genre. Riftbound will have a box called Proving Grounds where champions like Lux, Annie, Master Yi and Garen will help newer players to get acclimated to TCG basics.
The timeline for the Riftbound is also starting to firm up, with its China launch is scheduled for summer 2025. Some English speaking countries will also see the game arrive this year, but other markets will have to wait until 2026; the devs didn't specify which regions will be on which timeline.

Can't Cancel Christmas: ‘Power' Prequel ‘Origins' Gets 18-Episode Order At STARZ, ‘Raising Kanan's' MeKai Curtis Joining Cast
STARZ is spinning the block and stepping back in time by showcasing the bold beginnings of the Power Universe. Source: Michael Kovac / Getty After years of fan theories, flashbacks, and early announcements, STARZ has greenlit Power: Origins , an 18-episode prequel series focused on Tommy and Ghost's early days before Truth Nightclub, betrayal, and bloody finales. Described as a 'fun, rambunctious' look at their rise, Power: Origins will follow James 'Ghost' St. Patrick and Tommy Egan as young, wild, and way too ambitious up-and-comers, navigating New York's underworld with big plans and even bigger problems. Not even that, but an official press release reports that MeKai Curtis is set to reprise his Power Book III: Raising Kanan role. Source: Courtesy / Starz 'I'm excited to continue to explore the origin stories of the Power Universe's founding fathers,' said Sascha Penn, showrunner, writer and executive producer in a statement. 'Ghost and Tommy's backstories have fueled years of constant fascination and speculation among fans, and I'm thrilled to be able to answer some long-held questions and share new layers of the story that viewers won't see coming.' Kathryn Busby, STARZ's President of Original Programming, also made it clear this one's for the day-ones. 'Our fans have been asking for Ghost and Tommy's origins story since we first met them in Power — and with the launch of this series, we're delivering in a big way,' said Kathryn Busby, President of Original Programming for STARZ. 'This marks an electrifying new chapter in the franchise's evolution as we dive deep into the legacy of these iconic characters and the explosive moments that shaped their path.' Power: Origins marks the fourth spin-off in the ever-expanding Power Universe, joining Power Book II: Ghost (which just wrapped its final season in 2024), Raising Kanan (returning for a fifth and final season), and Power Book IV: Force (set to close out this fall). The crew behind the camera remains stacked: Courtney A. Kemp returns as executive producer through End of Episode, along with Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson (G-Unit Film and Television), Mark Canton (Canton Entertainment), Pete Chatmon, and Chris Selak. Lionsgate Television is producing for STARZ.

‘Arcane' Season 2 Gets a Lavish Home Release, Just in Time for Emmy Season
With Emmy season in full swing and a lot of eyes on whether Riot Games and Fortiche's League of Legends studio will sweep an already steep competitive lineup of animated shows, GKids has announced a slew of home release pre-order editions for Arcane season two, freeing it from the confines of streaming. In a press release, GKids announced that the home release of Arcane season two will feature a limited-run Collector's Edition. This will include SteelBook Editions in both 4K UHD and Blu-ray formats, a standard Blu-ray edition, and options for Digital Download-to-Own. Bonus features in Arcane's home release will include an artist gallery, a writer's room, and artist breakdowns of its three acts, as well as storyboards and music videos. All editions of Arcane season two are available for pre-order on GKids' website. GKids' home video pre-orders announcement for Arcane season two comes following the animated video game adaptation's two Emmy nominations for Outstanding Animated Program and Outstanding Sound Editing. In the series' history, Arcane has been nominated for seven Emmys, making it one of the most decorated video game-adapted series ever. To celebrate this achievement, Fortiche released an illustration of Jinx, a tradition it's established whenever Arcane is mentioned during awards season. Given that 2024 was a banner year for animation, it remains to be seen if Arcane can achieve similar success with its second and final season, potentially bringing home more awards. This success has notably legitimized video game adaptations as a valuable and worthwhile pursuit in the entertainment industry, one worth nurturing—especially for Riot Games—in the years to come. Humbled to receive nominations at this year's #Emmys, including Outstanding Animated Program. Congratulations to cast and crew 💙 Artwork by our talented artists. ✨#Fortiche #Arcane #Fortichers — Fortiche prod (@ForticheProd) July 16, 2025While we preferred season one of Arcane over season two, io9's review celebrated the show for its poignant queer representation and its extraordinary animation. Fortunately, aside from Riot Games' 'Timebomb'-focused post-show music video, the company isn't showing any signs of slowing down in producing more animated adventures within the expansive world of League of Legends. In other words, fans can look forward to exploring different narratives from the game without having to play League itself—something both Riot Games co-founder Marc Merrill and players caution curious Netflix viewers about. Both seasons of Arcane are available to stream on Netflix. Want more io9 news?
