Legends of Runeterra: Winter Roadmap and new content

October

The ongoing Bandlewood season ends on October 20, 2021. With the Bandlewood seasonal tournament finishing by then, a new season will be starting in October. Details are still being awaited, and it will be interesting to see which new archetypes and regions will dominate the meta.

Legends of Runeterra will also get Battle Academia skins and cosmetics. Still, without an event pass, the premium currency will be the likely option to get one. However, the items will not affect gameplay, so free to play players need not worry.

November:

A fresh PVE expansion is planned for the November release. PVE are game modes where players take on the AI under normal or custom scenarios with standard or experimental decks.

There are themed events and a mega event pass in the pipeline. Event passes are a great way to earn rewards, and they have free and paid paths. The paid paths are a cost-effective way to get wildcards and cosmetic items.

December

The last month of the calendar year will see Legends of Runeterra getting its next major content expansion since August. Although more details are awaited, the expansion is called "Magical Misadventures". The season, which will commence in the second half of October, will also be having its seasonal tournament. That will be followed by a fresh new season which will continue into 2022. Based on past trends, the season will be based on the released expansion. It will be exciting to see how the meta evolves over the Christmas holidays.

Legends of Runeterra is an incredibly generous game that showers players with rewards. Playing the game regularly for a month will help players maximize the fresh content drops in November and December.
