Are you going to be at PAX Unplugged? I'm doing a panel on Riftbound with Jimmy Wong! Lots of cool stuff about the development of the game, Spiritforged (our 2nd set), and the fuuuutuuurrreee :D

This is incorrect - you canโ€™t exhaust a gear until it is on the board (i.e. after you play it). Cards in your hand or on the chain canโ€™t be used to pay for resources unless they have rules text explicitly saying so (we havenโ€™t made any yet)

If you reached out to me directly with pictures, there's a link in the above article for where to go with those!

Riftbound: Origins Launch Learnings Reflecting on the English launch including what worked, what didnโ€™t, and whatโ€™s next for Riftbound.

Hey Riftbounders, I know you've all been asking and sending feedback on the Origins English launch - thank you! We've got an article up now that addresses some of those concerns, and a little bit on what's next.

Hey friends- if youโ€™re attending #PAXUnplugged, and you plan on making content on site- contact me. Not only is @riftbound.riotgames.com making some HUGE drops on site, but weโ€™re looking for creators for Spiritforged. So HIT ME UP

Yes! Whenever you take control of a battlefield you donโ€™t already control, even off turn, thatโ€™s a conquer and you score a point

S/o @bmkibler.bsky.social for happening to catch me in my first couple action shots in a few years :)

Game's a ton of fun and I'm looking forward to playing more.

oh no ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ we needed to let them know about the special Diana-Sett exception

Are you heading to a Riftbound release event today, or hanging out playing Riftbound? Iโ€™d love to hear from you and how it went! โค๏ธ #riftbound @riftbound.riotgames.com

Go ahead and use these packs for play as normal, and please take photos of any impacted packs and ensure the photos include:
1) All cards in the pack with rarity gems visible
2) Open wrapper with barcode, and
3) Paper w/ "Riftbound QA - (Date)". (2/2)

31.10.2025 01:29 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 8    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 5    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

As we head into launch, we're still working on this issue and will share more detailed info soon, but we don't want to leave you confused going into release weekend. (1/2)

31.10.2025 01:29 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 6    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

If we confirm itโ€™s affecting a meaningful number of packs, weโ€™ll offer players something to make it right for this setโ€”alongside making long-term fixes, likely starting with Set 3. Weโ€™ll keep you updated as soon as we know more. (4/4)

29.10.2025 17:23 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 8    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

We know consistency matters and we want to make sure every pack feels great to open, so weโ€™re continuing to dig into the rarity distribution issue with our production partners. (3/4)

29.10.2025 17:23 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

At the booster box level, rarity distribution is landing as planned. But we know that getting a weak pack can feel bad, even if it balances out in the box. (2/4)

29.10.2025 17:23 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Hi Riftbounders! Weโ€™re investigating a potential collation issue impacting rarity distribution with individual Riftbound: Origins booster packs. Early checks suggest that a small percentage of packs include fewer rare cards than intended, with others including more. (1/4)

Thank you for being so excited about this game! The team and I are so hyped to see all the decks that you come up - please continue to share your feedback! We'll continue to level up set over set. (6/6)

20.10.2025 22:57 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 6    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

We've monitored the data closely (how old accounts are, unique IDs, etc); so far, the product has been landing in the hands of real players. In fact, 80%+ were from a Riot ID made before 2025 which is a good sign. But it's not a 'solved' problem - we're continuing to watch (5/6)

20.10.2025 22:57 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Second: we see the concern around bad actors with the online preorders. We want Riftbound to be accessible to you, so we've implemented a couple of tools to fight there including requiring a Riot account and only allowing 1 purchase per Riot account. (4/6)

20.10.2025 22:57 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Our goal is make sure everyone can play the game and get access to the product. We'll continue to monitor demand and adjust our plans as needed. (3/6)

20.10.2025 22:57 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

First up: We hear you on amount of product. Demand is high and it's been difficult to get product. To address that, we've already hit additional reprints that will hit stores between launch and end of year (timing varies by region). (2/6)

20.10.2025 22:57 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Hey, Riftbounders! We've seen feedback pop up from the community, coming out of our second Riftbound preorder on the Riot Games Merch store. I wanted to drop in to share some thoughts around product availability / getting cards into the hands of players around the world. (1/6)

20.10.2025 22:57 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 12    ๐Ÿ” 3    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Iโ€™ll be there!

We'll be adding an appendix soon to our recent Core Rules FAQ to help explain with more examples. We appreciate all of the feedback and questions so far, and we're excited to see the decks y'all make with sweet combos! (8/8)
