The Reckoning is the second Riftbound set of 2027, three months after Legacy. Riot has not yet announced the Regional Championship season that will be played with The Reckoning, nor the preview calendar; we will add both here as soon as they are official.
Awaken the Ancients: the theme
Riot sums the set up in one question: what happens when dormant behemoths are awakened? The Reckoning features some of League of Legends' biggest champions, and the five Legends revealed so far fit that idea perfectly:
- Aurelion Sol, the Star Forger: a celestial dragon who creates stars.
- Cho'Gath, the Terror of the Void: a monster that grows bigger every time it feeds.
- Shyvana, the Half-Dragon of Demacia.
- Zilean, the Chronokeeper: an ancient time mage from Icathia.
- Vayne, the Night Hunter, who has sworn to hunt down dark creatures, and this set looks full of them.
The champion descriptions come from League of Legends lore; how each Legend plays in Riftbound has not been revealed yet.
Revealed so far
- Set code: REC (hashtag #RBReckoning). Cards: 264, including 67 Showcase. Riot promises "blockbuster" Showcase art, which the League of Legends Wiki describes as inspired by movie posters.
- Legends: nine in total. Five are named (Aurelion Sol, Cho'Gath, Shyvana, Vayne and Zilean) and four are still secret.
- Boosters: 14 cards per pack, as shown on the official pack image. The League of Legends Wiki lists the pack layout Riot introduced with Legacy (6 Commons, 3 Uncommons, a Legend or Battlefield slot, a foil slot, 2 Rare-or-better slots and a Rune or token slot); Riot has not confirmed it for The Reckoning yet.
- Mechanics and cards: not revealed yet. Riot says details will come at the first State of the Game of 2027. No individual cards have been shown so far.

What to expect before release
- Preview season: Riot has not announced dates. For Legacy, previews started about seven weeks before release, so a similar window is likely but not confirmed.
- State of the Game: the first one of 2027 should explain the new mechanics and design of The Reckoning.
- Pre-Rift week (23–29 April): the first chance to play the set in stores, a week before the worldwide release.
- The last four Legends: still to be revealed. Follow us to know which champions join Aurelion Sol, Cho'Gath, Shyvana, Vayne and Zilean.
