Riftbound's sixth set, Legacy, is set to be the League of Legends TCG's biggest release yet, both in raw card count and in how deliberately it leans on each region's own identity.
It arrives January 29, 2027, with a Pre-Rift preview window running January 22-28, and carries the set code LGC.
Eight Legends are confirmed so far, with four more still unannounced, and the set's early coverage keeps circling back to one specific pairing: Freljord against Demacia.
Here's what's actually confirmed about Legacy's roster, checklist size, and regional framing, and an honest look at which champions have real deck-building material behind them right now versus which are names and lore only.
Riftbound Legacy ships with 346 total cards, including 93 Showcase-treatment cards — the premium alternate-art chase cards collectors have hunted since the game's first set.
That 346 figure is the one confirmed across Riftbound's own tracking sites and dedicated hobby coverage; an earlier claim putting the set at 364 cards doesn't hold up against the current confirmed checklist and should be treated as outdated.
Legacy's announced Legends are Ashe, Garen, Heimerdinger, Illaoi, Karma, Lux, Tryndamere, and Vladimir, with four more champions still to be revealed closer to release.
That's a wider roster than any prior Riftbound set launched with, reflecting Legacy's larger overall card count and its draft-focused design priorities.
At 346 cards, Legacy beats every prior Riftbound set by a wide margin, a jump driven largely by its draft-first design priority rather than simply adding more Legends to the roster.
A bigger, more varied card pool is what makes draft actually work as a format, so the increase in raw card count tracks directly with Legacy's stated shift toward supporting draft alongside constructed play.
Legacy is built around regional identity across all six of Riftbound's established regions, but the early marketing and most of the confirmed Champion Deck pairings center specifically on Freljord and Demacia.
Ashe and Tryndamere carry Freljord's half of that rivalry, while Garen and Lux represent Demacia — a champion-for-champion matchup that gives the set's launch content a clear narrative hook beyond just a card list.
Only four of the eight announced Legends — Tryndamere, Ashe, Garen, and Lux — currently have confirmed Champion Decks with distinct archetype material built around them.
Heimerdinger, Illaoi, Karma, and Vladimir are confirmed as appearing in the set, but as of now they're names and lore entries rather than champions with revealed deck archetypes, so treat this as a roster overview rather than a complete deck-by-deck breakdown.
Legacy is the first Riftbound set designed with drafting as a stated priority, a shift from earlier sets that were built primarily around constructed Champion Decks and booster-box singles.
That draft focus is part of why the set's card count jumped so far past prior releases — a larger, more varied pool gives draft pods more meaningful choices than a tighter constructed-focused checklist would. Drafted pools still need a home afterward, and a plastic deck box keeps a full draft pod's cards together between games.
With only eight of Legacy's likely twelve Legends confirmed so far, the remaining four are an open question for the four regions not yet directly spotlighted in the Freljord-versus-Demacia framing: Noxus, Ionia, Piltover/Zaun, and Bilgewater.
Riftbound's own messaging describes Legacy as giving all six regions a presence, so it's reasonable to expect at least one more named Legend per remaining region before the set's full roster is locked, even though nothing beyond the current eight is confirmed yet.
Legacy is the headline entry in Riftbound's confirmed 2027 schedule, previewed at Convergence Fest in December 2026 ahead of its January 29 street date.
Collectors already following the game's five prior sets — Origins through Radiance — will recognize Legacy's Showcase-card structure, even as its regional rivalry framing and 2v2-oriented Champion Decks mark a real departure from how earlier sets were built.

Both, but it's the first Riftbound set designed with drafting as a stated priority.
A 346-card set with 93 Showcase chases is going to need real storage room the moment it releases. EVORETRO's Riftbound booster box case keeps sealed product safe while you wait out the preview window.
