Quote from Dave Guskin, Game Director: “With the launch of Origins, we learned a tremendous amount about how players experience Riftbound. From Nexus Nights to theorycrafting, it has been incredible to see how the community makes Riftbound their own. Spiritforged builds on that foundation with new Champion Legends, new mechanics, and even greater collectability. Spiritforged combines the essence of the Spirit Blossom universe with the new tools needed to get the job done, and we cannot wait to see what players create next.”
