Players will build powerful decks from across the factions of Runeterra, unleash champion-led strategies, and battle for dominance in fast-paced, decision-heavy matches. Whether you're outwitting your opponent in the 1v1 format or discovering synergies in 2v2 or the 4-person free-for-all modes, Riftbound delivers an ever-evolving experience shaped by regular updates and new expansions.
