Pick a region. Open the box. Build a deck from whatever the Rift gives you. Riftbound's sixth booster set, Legacy, is coming, and Pre-Rift is your first chance to sit down and play with it.
Legacy is built around some of League of Legends' most iconic champions and the regions they represent: Noxus, Ionia, Freljord, Bilgewater, Piltover & Zaun, and Demacia. Champions in the set include Ashe, Tryndamere, Garen, Lux, Vladimir, Karma, and more, and UVS Games says the set has more than 90 showcase cards.
So, which region are you hoping to represent?

Legacy product goes on sale on the official release date, January 29, 2027. Pre-Rift is a play event: you play with what is inside your Pre-Rift Kit.
What is a Pre-Rift?
Pre-Rift Events give players an early first look at a new set through a Sealed play experience. Every player receives a Pre-Rift Player Kit and builds a deck from its contents on the day. UVS describes it as an accessible, beginner friendly way to preview Legacy before launch, so it is a great event for new players as well as veterans.
What is inside a Legacy Pre-Rift Player Kit
New for Legacy, each kit is themed around one of six regions. Each player kit contains:
The six regional kits are Noxus, Ionia, Freljord, Bilgewater, Piltover & Zaun, and Demacia. Every store Event Kit holds 18 player kits, 3 of each region, plus 1 Legacy Booster Display for prize support.
How a Pre-Rift event works
- Get your kit. Each participant receives a Pre-Rift Player Kit.
- Build your deck. Combine the included mini preconstructed deck (the Pre-Rift Pack) with your five boosters and promo card to build your Sealed deck.
- Play. Use the deck you built in a paired tournament.
