Riftbound The Reckoning: release date, cards, products
Riftbound The Reckoning release date (April 30, 2027), Pre-Rift dates, card count, the nine Legends and the products announced so far.
Riftbound's The Reckoning comes out on April 30, 2027, with Pre-Rift events in stores from April 23 to 29, 2027, according to Riot's set schedule. It is Riftbound's seventh set, the second of 2027 after Legacy, and it features larger League of Legends champions, as ICv2 puts it: Aurelion Sol, Cho'Gath, Shyvana, Vayne and Zilean are confirmed, with four more Legends still to be revealed. The Reckoning hit preorder on November 5, 2026, ICv2 reports; UVS Games and Riot will release it. No prices or cards have been revealed yet.

The dates come from Riot's August 3, 2026 look at the sets coming into 2027, which says: "It's still early and we're not ready to share as much about this set as we have for Legacy." Riot's news page has no separate post for The Reckoning yet. The set before it, Legacy, comes out on January 29, 2027: see our Legacy Pre-Rift kits guide.
How many cards are in The Reckoning?
The two sources give different counts:
- Riot, on August 3, 2026: 264 cards, 67 of them Showcase cards.
- ICv2, on November 5, 2026, when preorders opened: a "250-card set" with "over 60 Showcase cards".
Neither says whether the count includes overnumbered cards, which may explain part of the gap. We will give the final number when Riot publishes the card list. Boosters hold 14 cards, according to ICv2.
Champions and Legends in The Reckoning
Riot confirms five champions: Aurelion Sol, Cho'Gath, Shyvana, Vayne and Zilean, "and four more new Legends", for nine in all. Riot's tagline for the set is "Awaken the Ancients". Vayne and Zilean already have cards in earlier sets (Vayne, Hunter in Origins and Spiritforged, Zilean, Time Mage in Unleashed); their Reckoning cards are not revealed yet.
