Riot Games continues its measured expansion into physical gaming with Unleashed, the third set for Riftbound TCG, arriving in China this April and globally in May. More than 220 new cards and four League of Legends champions — Kha'Zix, Lillia, Diana, and Ivern — enter a game increasingly defined not by brute force, but by the wisdom of waiting. In introducing the ultra-rare Ultimate Rarity tier, Riot reminds us that scarcity, whether in cards or in patience, has always carried its own kind of power.
