League of Legends Challenges Hearthstone and Elder Scrolls: Legends With New Card Game


It looks like League of Legends wants some of that Hearthstone money and we don't mean the cash that Activision-Blizzard originally withheld from Blitzchung. Considering how successful that card game has proven to be, essentially reviving a genre most people assumed was too niche, it's easy to see why Riot Games would be interested. The company has announced a card game called Legends of Runeterra, which will please newbies and LoL fans.

Little is known about Legends of Runeterra, aside from the fact that it's set to be a free-to-play game like most card games. It will be available on PC and mobile devices when it releases, though it does not have a release date yet. Expect more information to come sooner or later, given how popular the genre and franchise is.

Here's a summary of the game:

"Set in the world of League of Legends, Legends of Runeterra is the strategy card game where skill, creativity, and cleverness determine your success. Choose your champions and combine cards from different regions—each with their own style and strategic advantage—then build the perfect deck to take down the rest."

This sounds like every other card game out on phones and PC right now, which isn't a bad thing. After all, you need to base your foundation on something, even if it's not particularly original. Will Legends of Runeterra be good? We'll have to wait and see.

Legends of Runeterra doesn't have a release date.
