Gift of the Rift is Riot's Christmas box for Riftbound, on sale from 4 December 2026: 16 booster packs from all five sets so far, a full set of foil Runes, an alternate-art Akali promo with matching sleeves, and a 2,000-card storage box. Riot made it to celebrate Riftbound's first year, and it puts packs from every set so far in one box. Riot doesn't give a separate UK date, but the UK distributor lists the same day.

The alt-art Akali promo

Riot lists an alternate-art Akali, Rogue Assassin as exclusive to the English version of the box. It's Akali's Legend from Vendetta, numbered 139a/166, with new art of her eating a bowl of noodles in the snow. The 100 sleeves in the box use the same art. It's the full Legend, so you can play it as well as collect it: Empower 3, and an action that moves a friendly unit in a showdown back to base, readying it if Akali is Empowered.

04 · Our take
Is Gift of the Rift worth it?
Our take
It's the best Riftbound present this Christmas, especially for someone who already plays. Sixteen packs across every set, a playable alt-art Legend, matching sleeves and a box big enough for a whole collection make it feel generous.
The Radiance Vault is the closer comparison, but it has six packs from one set. Gift of the Rift wins on variety and on the Akali, which Riot describes as exclusive to the English version.
If you only want Radiance cards, a booster display is still the better buy. If you want one box that covers the whole game, this is it.
