Does Riot reprint sold-out Riftbound products?

Riot Games has printed more copies of several products of Riftbound: the League of Legends trading card game when the first print runs could not meet demand. Origins, the first set, got an extra print run before its English release and new waves of booster packs in the spring of 2026. Proving Grounds, the starter box, came back in 2026 from a new printer.

Not every product returns, though. Riot sorts its products into three groups, and the group tells you whether waiting for more copies makes sense.

Which Riftbound products does Riot reprint?

Riot reprints its booster sets, and it can reprint the smaller products made for play when players need more of them. Chengran Chai, the executive producer of Riftbound, set out three groups in Riot's State of the Game of 3 August 2026.

• Booster sets. Riot has committed to keeping the booster packs of a set available for at least as long as the set is legal in Standard, and to reprinting them to meet demand.
• Ancillary products. Ancillary products are made for a smaller part of the community or for a specific need. Riot keeps them in stores and can reprint them when it sees the need, as it did with Proving Grounds.
• Collector's products. Collector's products are limited editions, and Riot has said that it will not reprint them.

Riot did not sort every product by name, so the group of a Champion Deck or a Vault is not spelled out. It did add a promise that matters for players: new Riftbound cards go into booster packs, the products Riot keeps available, and not into ancillary or collector's products.

How was Origins reprinted after it sold out?

Origins was printed again several times, starting before it even reached stores.

• On 7 October 2025, Riot said it was printing an additional run of Origins to reach local game stores in time for the English release on 31 October 2025.
• On 10 November 2025, Riot wrote that it had missed the mark on demand and promised more Origins products in local game stores by the end of the year.
• On 8 January 2026, Riot said it would keep bringing more Origins to stores and to its own Riot Merch Store until it was satisfied with the supply.
• On 31 March 2026, Riot said that Origins boosters were going out in waves as each printing was finished, with more after the launch of Unleashed on 8 May 2026, and that these reprints would not be the last.

The Riot Merch Store, which offers booster displays through drawings among the players who sign up, brought older products back as well. Its second drawing for Unleashed, from 18 to 20 May 2026, also offered booster displays of Origins and Spiritforged and the Proving Grounds box.

Is the reprinted Proving Grounds the same box?

The reprinted Proving Grounds holds the same contents as the first printing, but it has a higher launch price. Riot chose a different printing partner to get it made quickly, and in its announcement of 8 January 2026 it put the new price at $40. Its merch store lists the reprint at $39.99, against $29.99 for the first printing. By the update of 31 March 2026 the reprint had begun to arrive in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and Riot planned the European Union for April and the United States for May.

Riot warned that the reprinted cards may look slightly different, but said that its developers could not reliably pick them out in blind tests once the cards were sleeved. That matters at tournaments, where a card counts as marked when it can be identified without seeing its face, and sleeved cards are checked in their sleeves (Tournament Rules 423.2 and 423.3, on Riot's Rules Hub).

A reprint does not always carry the newest card text either. Riot rewords some cards after they are printed, as the article on how Riftbound cards are banned or changed explains, and when it published the errata for Origins on 28 October 2025, it said that the new wording was not planned for future restocks of Origins. A restocked copy can therefore show the old wording, while the card is played with the new one.

Riot has also announced a second box rather than another reprint: Proving Grounds, 2nd Edition, with its release on 19 February 2027 and four new decks built around Heimerdinger, Karma, Vladimir and Illaoi, at $40. Riot wrote in its announcement of products and sets into 2027 that the box will hold no card that cannot also be found in booster packs.

Do hard-to-find cards come back as well?

Some cards do, as promo cards rather than in a reprinted product. For their first months, the cards made for Proving Grounds came only in that box. Flash, a Common from Proving Grounds, was a card at the center of players' complaints about availability, and on 31 March 2026 Riot announced a promo printing of it for stores to hand out from late April, for example as a reward for playing in events, for teaching the game and for bringing a new player. Riot asked the stores not to sell these promos as single cards.

In the Spiritforged season of Nexus Night, the weekly store event, all 16 of the Rares and Epics of Proving Grounds came back as foil promos in the Nexus Night packs, among them Garen, Rugged and the Legends Wuju Bladesman and Dark Child. Flash, a Common, was not among them, and it came back as a promo printing of its own.

When stores warned in November 2025 that their Origins promos for Nexus Night would run out early, Riot started a reprint of the same promos, due in stores from January 2026, as it wrote in its recap of the PAX Unplugged panel. Each later season has had a new pool of promos instead.

Which Riftbound products will never be reprinted?

Collector's products are made once. Riot named two: the Worlds Bundle 2025, a limited edition bundle with a launch price of $99.99, and the T1 2025 Worlds Champion Signature Edition, made in a highly limited print run of 10,125 sets in English, each with a serialized card numbered from 1 to 2025, at a launch price of $360. Riot describes products like these as collector's items that players are meant to cherish.

One kind of card is never printed again in the same form either. Riot has said that it will never reprint an overnumbered card, a printing numbered above its set, with the same art and frame as before, so each overnumbered printing, such as the overnumbered Loose Cannon of Origins, stays unique.

What can you do while a product is sold out?

For a booster set that is still legal in Standard, waiting is usually the better choice. Riot has promised to keep those sets available, and Origins shows how that works in practice: its new waves reached stores months after the first print runs had run out. In the meantime a sold-out product can sell above its launch price, as the article on why Riftbound products sell above their launch price explains. Today the Origins booster display, launched at $119.99, sells for $221.90, and the Proving Grounds box, launched at $29.99 and reprinted at $39.99, sells for $53.13.

Ask at your local game store, since Riot sends its reprints to stores as well as to its own merch store. When you only need one card for a deck, the single card is often quicker to get than packs: a single Flash sells for $3.84 today. Single cards also come from Cardmarket in Europe, TCGplayer in the United States and CardTrader on both sides of the Atlantic.

A collector's product will not come back, so once it is gone it can only come from another owner. Today the Worlds Bundle 2025 sells for $1,088.15 and the T1 2025 Worlds Champion Signature Edition for $8,500, and before you pay a seller for one, the article on how to spot fake Riftbound products shows what to look for.

The products guide lists every Riftbound product with its launch price and contents. How long a product stays on sale at all depends on its group, as the article on how long a Riftbound product is sold sets out, and the article on whether older sets stay legal covers how long each set stays in Standard.
