Riot Games' continued game expansion does not look to be slowing down. Now, the company looks to delve into the world of physical card games.

With the company beginning their journey with their single initial title, League of Legends, back in 2009, Riot Games now holds several video-games across different genres, including: VALORANT, Teamfight Tactics, Legends of Runeterra and League of Legends: Wild Rift.

Now, Riot is looking to expand into the realm of physical card games with their newest addition: Rune Battlegrounds.

New game, old favorites

The card game, which will feature several champions from the League of Legends Universe, is expected to be released in 2025.

It still remains unclear at the time whether Rune Battlegrounds will draw inspiration from Legends of Runeterra, the company's digital card game, or if the game will be a separate take on the card game genre altogether.

It is worth noting that Joe Hixson, Riot Games' Senior Director of Corporate Communications, has recently taken to X (Twitter) to announce that there are currently no plans for a worldwide release of Rune Battlegrounds.

He claimed, however, that that may well change in the future, so stay tuned for more news!

 

Rune Battlegrounds will release exclusively in China to begin with, as Riot tests how the game performs before deciding to carry out a global release.
