Riot Games, already known for hits like League of Legends and Valorant, is preparing a new foray into the world of card games with Project K, a physical collectible card game (CCG) slated for 2025. The project promises to redefine the CCG experience with innovative mechanics and a focus on social play.
Reimagined gameplay
Unlike Legends of Runeterra, Riot’s digital card game, Project K adopts a physical format and distinct rules. Notable innovations include:
Varied game modes: In addition to the classic 1v1 duel, the game introduces a 2v2 mode for a cooperative multiplayer experience.
“Rune” system and Battlegrounds: Players use resources in the form of runes and interact with terrain that influences gameplay, a nod to the rich universe of League of Legends.
Iconic Champion Cards: Characters like Jinx, Yasuo, and Viktor are suited to building armies or deploying unique strategies, while staying true to their personality.
A gradual global launch
The game will initially be available in China in early 2025, with a pre-sale phase for special packs, such as the “Arcane Collector Pack”. The rest of the world will have to wait until a later date, as Riot wants to ensure exemplary distribution and competitive organization
