In the wake of the massive success of Pokémon TCG Pocket, Digimon is now entering the mobile card game arena with the announcement of Digimon Alysion. This free-to-play online card battler, developed by Bandai Namco for iOS and Android, was unveiled during Digimon Con, stirring excitement among fans of the franchise. While details remain limited, a teaser trailer has been released, showcasing the essence of the Digimon Card Game's Digivolution mechanics, along with pack openings and charming pixel art of the beloved Digimon characters.
The project, officially known as #DIGIMONALYSION, is set to bring the thrill of card battling to a digital platform, as announced on the official Digimon Card Game English Version Twitter account on March 20, 2025. Alongside the game announcement, fans were introduced to several characters, hinting at a potential storyline that could differentiate Digimon Alysion from the more gameplay-focused Pokémon TCG Pocket.
While a specific release date for Digimon Alysion has not yet been confirmed, Gematsu has reported that a closed beta test is on the horizon, with more details expected to be shared soon. This move comes at a time when Pokémon TCG Pocket has seen tremendous popularity, though it has faced criticism for its trading system, which the developers have promised to address in future updates.
Digimon Alysion's entry into the mobile gaming scene could reignite the classic rivalry between Pokémon and Digimon, offering fans another avenue to engage with their favorite monsters through card collecting and battling. As more information becomes available and the game progresses towards its eventual launch, enthusiasts of both franchises will have even more options to explore their passion for digital monster card games.
