After three months in open beta, Legends of Runeterra officially launches later this week. Riot Games’ strategy card game based on League of Legends will leave beta on Thursday, April 30. A new patch on Tuesday, April 28, brings with it a new set of cards and Bilgewater, a pirate-themed region. Mobile versions of the card game launch sometime between Tuesday and Thursday. Watch the official card game overview trailer from IGN here:
The new card set, labeled Rising Tides, adds new cards to existing regions as well as adding Bilgewater as its own region. The expansion adds 11 Champions, six keywords, one new cosmetic board, two new cosmetic guardians, one new region, updated region roads for existing regions, new card backs, new emotes, and over 120 new cards.
The mobile version of Legends of Runeterra comes to both Android and iOS devices sometime this week. According to Riot, it will start pushing the mobile apps to their stores after the 1.0 patch hits PC servers on Tuesday. Riot warns that the mobile app may not be available in all regions for up to 48 hours.
To incentivize players to log in daily, Riot will give cards away. New Legends of Runeterra players — including those that participated in the beta — get a reward for the first seven days they log into the game. The rewards range from powerful cards to Expedition tokens. On the final day, players can pick up a new deck and two Ashe champion cards.
With the launch, Riot is also resetting the ranked season. Starting April 29, players can begin a new seasonal grind with the Season of Plunder. Existing ranked players will lose some progress in the transition to the new season due to a partial LP reset.
Legends of Runeterra is free to play and will launch globally on May 1st. Be sure to use our iTunes or Google Play gift cards to give yourselves a boost when it comes out:
