Legends of Runeterra debuted with a bang with a plethora of updates following suit soon after its 2020 release. The games’ developer, Riot, does not want to stop there and has promised a ton of new updates to be coming in 2021 as well. The developers have revealed their entire Update Roadmap alongside their new Legends Labs feature for Legends of Runeterra.
Legends of Runeterra or LoR is a free-to-play card collectible game. The game uses a lot of the same characters from its parent franchise, League of Legends. Nevertheless, it features its own unique flair and animation style. With constant updates being promised for the game, you can expect games like Hearthstone to get a run for their money!
Legends Labs
Legends Labs is an entirely new feature being added to the game in February. They add a new progression dynamic into the game wherein progressing further into the Lab lets you upgrade individual cards on your deck with extra stats, keywords, and unique effects.
Currently, Legend Labs is expected to be releasing for Single-Player first and will then make its way to Multiplayer.
