“This demo space will also have a special table set up for recorded game play featuring some unconventional and feature game play.

Riftbound Officially Announced

Four different decks were available: Viktor, Volibear, Yasuo, and Jinx, in Chinese and English versions. The promo pack contained one of four champion cards: Jinx, Volibear, Yasuo, and Viktor. All cards are in Chinese and use the original card design and borders.
An exclusive and limited Arcane box set was here to purchase after entering and winning a lottery. Only 1,100 sets were at the event, and purchases were limited to two sets per person.
It has 6 cards featuring characters from the Arcane series, held in a fold-out box. The Arcane set was available to purchase at other events in China for a limited time. There are plans to release an English version of the box set later after release.
