Riot Games Introduces 'The Demon's Hand,' a Noxus-Themed Roguelike Card Mini-Game
The new in-client game combines strategic card mechanics with League of Legends progression, but players report mixed experiences with RNG and performance issues.
- The Demon's Hand, a Noxus-inspired roguelike card game, launched as a surprise update within the League of Legends client on March 19, 2025.
- Players assemble attack combinations from a 52-card deck and earn currency to unlock Sigils, which enhance gameplay and strategy.
- Progression to harder difficulty modes requires Rare Sigils, which can only be earned through playing League of Legends, leading to concerns about RNG-based progression.

- Seasonal missions offer exclusive rewards, including an emote, icons, a title, and Battle Pass experience, encouraging player participation.
