Trailer

You can check out the initial teaser trailer below, showcasing our new Champions and some masquerade ball-themed cards.

New Champions

We know of three new champions joining the Legends of Runeterra: Worldwalker expansion roster; Gwen, Evelynn, and Kai’Sa.

Kai’Sa’s reveal shows that she has the Evolve keyword, and starts with a 5 cost, 4/4 card. She also has Quick Attack.

As for Gwen, she has the new keyword “Hallowed” and Quick Attack, and is a 3/4 card that levels up when dealing more than 10 damage.

We’ll update this page as we see more cards.

Forces from Beyond could be a very creepy expansion if this early art is anything to go by.

New Cards

New cards are being revealed over at Mobalytics.gg, as has often been the case for Legends of Runeterra.

Players can seemingly expect a mix of spooky Husks, a d a series of unsettling partygoers like the Boisterous Host seen below.

New Keywords

Each expansion has added new keywords, the game’s powerful rulesets that define certain cards, and the Legends of Runeterra: Forces from Beyond expansion is no different.

Evolve

Found on Kai’Sa, this keyword has the following description:

“Evolve empowers and encourages you to field a variety of Keywords, once you’ve summoned or given 6 unique positive keywords, your cards with Evolve will take on a new form, granting them +2 | +2.”

Hallowed

Gwen has this keyword, and it is described like this:

“After I die, for the rest of the game when allies attack, hallow your first attacker giving it +1/+0 that Our newest keyword will haunt you from beyond the grave, Hallowed cards will take effect after they die. For each Hallowed card that has died this game, give +1|+0 to your first attacker that round.”

We’ll update this when we know more.
