Now, in 2021, Riot Games has released a roadmap for the card game’s content Legends of Runeterra during the whole year. The first major update will be in February when the Lunari Assassin comes into play. The roadmap currently runs through July and shows a lot of Shurima-related content that will appear in the spring and summer.

The set Empires of the Ascended will be released in March. This set includes the Champions of Shurima and the Sun Disk, which includes characters like the Emperor Azir and the mercenary Sivir. We’ll likely see a few familiar faces from around here League of Legends MOBA, along with a broad cast of supporting characters who help build the lore of the region. There will also be year-round co-op content in “Labs”, highly experimental game modes that change quickly.
May and June will bring two more expansions that are similar to Shurima themes. In May we will see Guardians of the Ancient, along with some new skins and a themed event. Then, in June, Shurima moves a little more into the limelight with Rise of the Underworlds. July will bring another Champion Expansion and themed event, along with “More to Come”. We’ll likely hear more about July and the rest of 2021 as we get closer to that date.
Legends of Runeterra is updated regularly, with balance patches and tweaks running alongside the major expansions and additions. For example, following feedback from the game’s beta, the team adjusted the timing of the animations and made things run a little faster.
