When Does Riftbound Vendetta Release?

Riftbound Vendetta releases worldwide on July 31, 2026.

This is Riftbound’s fourth main set, and the first in the game’s history to launch simultaneously across English and Simplified Chinese — no staggered regional rollout this time.

Key Dates at a Glance

• Preview season: July 6–17, 2026 (now complete — see every card revealed)
• Pre-Rift Events: July 24–30, 2026 (early sealed-format play at participating stores)
• Full worldwide release: July 31, 2026

What Time Does It Release?

Riot has not published a specific unlock time for physical product — release timing is typically set by individual retailers and distributors rather than a single global clock-hour. In-store availability on July 31 will depend on your local game store’s shipment and opening hours. Digital availability (if applicable) is usually more precise once confirmed closer to launch.

Why This Release Is Different

Every previous Riftbound set — Origins, Spiritforged, and Unleashed — released in China first, with English and other regions following weeks or months later. Vendetta breaks that pattern entirely. Riot has confirmed this simultaneous global launch as a deliberate shift, meaning the whole player base experiences the set together for the first time.

Where to Get It

Skillshotz Gaming in Deerfield Beach will have Riftbound Vendetta on shelves starting July 31 — booster packs, booster displays, and the new Zed vs. Shen Showdown Deck. Pre-Rift Events run the week before (July 24–30) if you want early sealed-format access ahead of the wide release.
