#physical card game

Riot Games is expanding its iconic League of Legends universe with a new venture—a physical trading card game currently codenamed "Project K." The game, slated for an early 2025 release in China, marks the first time Riot has entered the realm of physical card games. While specific mechanics remain under wraps, early glimpses of the project suggest a departure from conventional trading card game norms. Among the casualties was Legends of Runeterra, a digital card game launched in 2020, which struggled to meet performance expectations. Despite these setbacks, Riot’s foray into physical card gaming signals its confidence in the enduring popularity of the League of Legends universe. Valve has announced that Steam users in the United Kingdom will now need to link a credit card to their account if they want to access games or pages marked with “mature content.” This move is part of Valve’s compliance with the UK’s Online Safety Act, which enforces stricter age verification for online platforms. This new rule means that without a credit card, UK Steam users cannot even view community hubs or discussions about mature-rated games. If stricter rules like this are implemented in the Philippines in the future, many local players may find themselves locked out of certain games since not everyone has access to a credit card.
