The Blastcone Seedling can choose between Barrier or Impact when played.

Legends of Runeterra: A Curious Journey release date and time

The expansion will arrive on PC and mobile on February 17 at around 11 AM PT/7 PM GMT – so we’re just hours away.

As with all LoR expansions, A Curious Journey will be free to all players but you’ll need to unlock cards as you go.

Trailer

Check out the expansion’s trailer below.

New Champions

Galio

A Curious Journey sees the long-awaited arrival of Galio, who levels up when allies have over 25 HP combined. Check out his card below:

Galio has a huge amount of health.

Yuumi

The other confirmed Champion is Yuumi, who makes use of the new “Attach” keyword to power up allies. You can see her cards below:

Yuumi buffs allies with the new “Attach” keyword

Gnar

Gnar is cute, but the level 2 card is anything but. Check out both below.

Gnar’s card can level up and level down quickly.

Udyr

Udyr’s card is focused on dealing damage, and powers up by casting new stances.

Udyr is made stronger by using various stances.

New cards

As is usually the case, Riot has been steadily revealing new cards through Mobalytics.gg, with plenty of new Fae followers like the Gleaming Lantern and Blastcone Seedling joining the fray.

There are new Demacian units, too, including the Petracite Stag, Durand Sculptor, and the Mountain Drake, as well as new spells like Winds of War which heals an ally before making them strike an enemy directly.

As you’d expect, too, there are more Yordle types, including the fierce Chief Nakotak that heals allies when they transform before buffing them.

New keywords

Keywords are an important part of Legends of Runeterra, and so far we know of two new ones arriving in the Curious Journey expansion.

Attach

This means a card can be played on another card, granting it the attached unit’s stats and keywords.

Formidable

This keyword means that a unit will strike with its health instead of its power. So the Petracite Hound will hit like a 2/2, rather than its base stats of 0/2.

That’s all we know about the Legends of Runeterra: A Curious Journey expansion so far, but we’ll update this page as we hear more.
