Riftbound Vendetta is Set 4, launching July 31 2026. If you have heard the name and want to know exactly what is coming and when you can buy it, this is the page. Seven of nine champions are confirmed, the full product lineup is confirmed with pricing, and preview season begins July 6. I will keep this updated as card reveals land through preview season.
Page last updated: June 7 2026. Preview season begins July 6 2026. Note: some sources are still showing June 22 as the Vendetta preview date. That date is incorrect. The correct date is July 6, per the official Riot roadmap published May 29 2026. This page will be updated with card reveals as they are officially announced.
What Is Vendetta?
Vendetta is the fourth set of Riftbound, releasing globally on July 31 2026. It follows Unleashed (Set 3), which launched May 8 2026. Vendetta brings 160+ cards, 9 Legends, 50+ Showcase cards, and three brand new domain pair combinations that open up deck archetypes that were not possible in any previous set. The headline product is the Zed vs Shen Showdown Deck, a two-player box that lets you play straight out of the wrapper. If you played Riftbound with Unleashed and want to know what comes next, this is it.

Confirmed Vendetta Champions
Seven of nine champions have been officially confirmed for Vendetta. Zed and Shen are the Showdown Deck pair, so both ship as complete ready-to-play decks at launch. The remaining five confirmed champions will each have individual Champion Decks at $19.99. Two champions are still unconfirmed and will be revealed during preview season beginning July 6.

What Is New in Vendetta
New Domain Pairs
The biggest structural change in Vendetta is three completely new domain combinations that have never appeared in Riftbound before. Every set has introduced new domain pairs, and Vendetta continues that pattern:
- Fury/Calm (Red/Green)
- Mind/Body (Blue/Orange)
- Chaos/Order (Purple/Yellow)
Each new pair opens up card designs that could not exist in previous sets. Champions built on Fury/Calm, for example, can use both Red and Green cards, a combination that no Unleashed champion could run. If you are not yet sure how domains work, the Riftbound domains guide covers the full system from scratch.
New Mechanics
Vendetta introduces new mechanics. Full details will be confirmed from July 6 when preview season opens and card reveals begin. I will update this section as each mechanic is officially explained by Riot.

The Showdown Deck price of approximately $34.99 is based on retailer data at time of writing. Confirm the final price at TCGPlayer when listings go live on July 31 before purchasing.
The Vault at $34.99 follows the same structure as the Unleashed Vault: six packs, runes, double-sided full-art tokens, and a storage box. If you found the Unleashed Vault good value, the Vendetta Vault is built the same way.
Vendetta products are not yet listed on TCGPlayer. While you wait, you can browse current Riftbound champion decks below.
What to Buy at Launch
Unleashed sold through fast on TCGPlayer at launch. Vendetta will almost certainly do the same. Here is the clearest guidance I can give based on confirmed products right now.
If you are completely new to Riftbound
The Zed vs Shen Showdown Deck is the right starting point. Two complete decks, one box, play the same night it arrives. You do not need to choose a champion first or figure out domains before buying. At approximately $34.99 you are getting two decks for the price you would normally pay for one Champion Deck. Start here.
If you already have Unleashed decks and want to expand
Vendetta’s three new domain pairs mean some champions will run domain combinations that do not overlap at all with Unleashed champions. Wait until preview season (from July 6) to see which champions share domains with your current deck before committing. If a Vendetta champion runs Fury/Calm and your Vi deck is Fury/Order, there will be some shared cards, which makes the upgrade cheaper.
If you collect sealed product
The Booster Display at $119.99 matches the Unleashed Display price exactly. With 160+ cards and 50+ Showcase cards confirmed, the set is a similar size to Unleashed. Pre-order as early as possible once listings appear, as Unleashed sold through quickly at launch.
If you are on a tighter budget
One Showdown Deck gives you two complete, playable decks. That is the best value-per-game in the Vendetta lineup. Hold off on booster packs until singles prices settle two to three weeks post-launch, then buy the specific cards your deck needs rather than cracking packs. Our guide on singles vs booster packs covers when each approach makes sense.
