Legends Of Runeterra's Next Set Is Called Call Of The Mountain

Riot Games is ramping up the next content update for their online card game Legends of Runeterra by announcing the Call of the Mountain set, which will be released in three parts and will introduce the Targon region.

The first expansion of the new set comes out on August 26, 2020 and it will come with 7 new champions and 82 non-champion cards. Just like how they teased the season for Rising Tides, Riot Games will be revealing a number of cards in the expansion as we go closer to the first expansion launch. They’ve already started revealing cards from the expansion with Tarric as one of the new champions coming to the game.

The next part of the expansion will be released in October and will include 3 more Champions and 37 non-champion cards. By December, the final batch of cards for the Call of the Mountain set will be released and it will add 3 more Champinos and 37 non-champion cards.

In the press release given by Riot games, they mention that early in development, they wanted to update the game with more overall card releases in the hopes to constantly shake up the meta of Runeterra instead of releasing a massive batch of cards in one go. The Call of Mountain set is their first attempt on that style of release. By the time all expansions of Call of the Mountain are released, you can expect another set and a new region to be launched sometime in February 2021.

It’s an interesting way to update the game moving forward and this simply means that if they do keep up with this style of releases, expect a meta change every 2 months for Legends of Runeterra.

Legends of Runeterra is now available on PC and mobile devices and if you’re curious on giving this game a try, check out my full review of the game which still holds true as of this writing.
