Digimon's latest venture into the mobile gaming arena, Digimon Alysion, was unveiled during DIGIMON CON 2025, sparking excitement among fans of the franchise. This new mobile Trading Card Game (TCG) is designed to broaden the appeal of Digimon's TCG by tapping into the mobile gaming market, much like successful predecessors such as Pokémon TCG Pocket and Marvel Snap.
During the DIGIMON CON 2025 Livestream on March 20, Bandai Namco introduced Digimon Alysion as a free-to-play digital TCG. Players will have the opportunity to collect cards featuring various Digimon and characters from the franchise, construct their decks, and engage in battles against other players. A significant highlight of Digimon Alysion is its inclusion of an in-depth story mode, which promises to offer players more than just the usual competitive play.
The announcement was accompanied by a new trailer that provided a glimpse into the gameplay and introduced an all-female cast speculated to be part of the story mode. The new characters include Kanata Hondo, Futre, and Valner Dragnogh, alongside a newly introduced Digimon, Gemmon. Although an official release date for Digimon Alysion has not been announced, a closed beta test is on the horizon, with further details to be shared soon.
