Digimon's latest mobile trading card game, Digimon Alysion, was unveiled at DIGIMON CON 2025, marking an exciting new venture for the franchise. This free-to-play digital TCG aims to captivate fans by offering a similar experience to popular mobile games like Pokémon TCG Pocket and Marvel Snap. Players will be able to collect cards featuring various Digimon and franchise characters, build their decks, and engage in battles with other players. What sets Digimon Alysion apart is its anticipated in-depth story mode, which promises to provide a richer experience beyond the standard and competitive gameplay.
During the DIGIMON CON 2025 livestream on March 20, Bandai Namco shared a new trailer for Digimon Alysion, offering a glimpse into its gameplay and introducing an all-female cast speculated to be featured in the story mode. New characters such as Kanata Hondo, Futre, and Valner Dragnogh, along with a new Digimon named Gemmon, were introduced. While no specific release date has been announced, an upcoming closed beta test was mentioned, with more details to follow.
