Announced earlier this month by Riot, the new expansion is called Call of the Mountain. It will introduce a new and unique region for the game: Targon, home to the highest mountains of Runeterra. We can expect to find heroes like Leona, Diana, Soraka, Pantheon or even Zoe in Legends of Runeterra.
Call of the Mountain set:
- 169 new cards spread over four months
- A new ranked season from August 26
- 13 new champions among the 169 cards
- Spellshield mechanic: cancels the next spell or skill that affects the target.
- New cards for already existing regions
Roadmap
Call of the Mountain is a set of cards with three expansions:
- The first is also called Call of the Mountain and has as many cards as the two upcoming expansions. It will be released on August 26 .
- The second and third expansions are still unknown to this day. They will be released in October and December respectively
- The set that follows the Call of the Mountain expansion will include a new region, and will be unveiled next February .
New region: Targon
New champion: Taric
With the upcoming expansion, a new Champion is joining the Targon roster: Taric, the Shield of Valoran.
New Mechanic: Spellshield
Each extension has its own keyword. The one from Call of the Mountain is called Spellshield, and allows a minion to counter an opposing skill or spell that targets him.
Like Bilgewater, the upcoming expansion will bring a whole new game mechanic: the Spellshield!
New type of cards: Gems
A new type of card, the Gem, is a spell that can heal 1 HP and give + 1 ATT to an allied minion. However, we don't know if this card will be a "full" one or if it will be generated by cards like Mentor of the Stones or Mountain Goat. In addition, no information was revealed regarding Gem variants.

The next expansion has not yet been announced and dataminers have already discovered a lot of information on potential new regions and new champions to discover. For the moment nothing is official, meaning all of this has to be taken with great caution!
