Riot Games Unveils Physical League of LegendsCard Game, 'Project K'

The upcoming trading card game will launch first in China in 2025, with a focus on social gameplay and competitive tournaments.

Project K is Riot Games' first physical trading card game, based on the League of Legends universe, and is distinct from its digital predecessor, Legends of Runeterra.
The game emphasizes social and multiplayer experiences, offering formats like 1v1, 2v2, and free-for-all gameplay, along with thematic deck-building centered on iconic League characters.
Developers aim to create a competitive ecosystem starting at local stores and potentially expanding to global tournaments, with a staggered international release planned.
China will be the first market to receive Project K in early 2025, as Riot has already partnered with a distributor there, while global launch plans are still being finalized.
Fans of Legends of Runeterra have expressed disappointment over the announcement, citing reduced support for the digital card game earlier this year.
