Bandai Namco Unveils Digimon Alysion: Digital Card Game

Bandai Namco is gearing up to bring the beloved Digimon franchise to mobile once again with the introduction of Digimon Alysion, a digital adaptation of the Digimon Card Game. Set to launch on Android and iOS as a free-to-play game, the exact release date remains under wraps for now.

The announcement came during Digimon Con 2025 on March 19th, where Bandai Namco also shared exciting updates about other projects. Fans can look forward to a new arc for Digimon Liberator in April 2025. Additionally, a special video was released to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Digimon anime, and a new project titled Digimon Adventure: Beyond was unveiled. On the horizon, a new RPG, Digimon Story: Time Stranger, is in development for consoles and PC.

Digimon Alysion: More Than Just a Card Game

Digimon Alysion isn't merely a digital replica of the physical Digimon Card Game. It introduces a unique feature called 'DigiAly' cards, which are exclusive to this mobile version, alongside the traditional cards. Bandai Namco is also expanding the universe with new Digimon and characters.

The game's character lineup, prominently featuring an all-female cast, marks a distinctive shift in direction for a digital card game. This choice has sparked some skepticism among fans, particularly those who were hoping for a more faithful adaptation of the physical game.

This isn't Bandai Namco's first foray into Digimon mobile gaming, and their previous attempts have met with mixed success. With two prior failures, there's a cautious optimism surrounding Digimon Alysion's potential to succeed.

Despite the uncertainties, anticipation for Digimon Alysion remains high. A closed beta test is on the horizon, though specifics are yet to be disclosed. For the latest updates, keep an eye on the official website or their X account.
