Disney Announces New Magic: The Gathering-Style Card Game – Disney Lorcana: The First Chapter
Disney has revealed some exciting details about upcoming card game release Disney Lorcana and we’re delighted to pass these details on to you. There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding the collaboration between Disney and Ravensburger and we can now confirm that the card game will be released this year starting in August 2023.
According to a recent piece on IGN, Disney Lorcana will be released in the United States, Canada and parts of Europe beginning with Disney Lorcana: The First Chapter.
Disney Lorcana: The First Chapter will be available starting on August 18th at select game stores. It will then have a massive retail launch on September 1st.
“Players and the community is absolutely the most important component of a TCG (Trading Card Game),” says Disney Lorcana co-designer Ryan Miller. “We are partnering with hobby and game stores to host our organized play programs as they bring people together to learn, play and trade and help welcome new players to the game.”
“We also want to make sure that hobby stores know how much we value them. As someone who has worked at a retail hobby store and run 100s of tournaments, I know firsthand how much effort, time and care goes into running in-store events,” Miller adds.
According to IGN, 200 Disney Lorcana game cards will be available across a variety of products including starter decks, booster packs and gift sets. The product will launch with three starter decks of 60 cards each.
The cards will be done in six “inks” including Ruby, Steel, Sapphire, Emerald, Ruby, Amber and Amethyst. Starter decks will also come with a special pack of 12 random cards (including one coveted foil cards and two cards with rare, super rare or legendary rarity.)
For avid collectors, we can also reveal that Lorcana playmats, card sleeves, deck boxes and card portfolios will be available at launch. From that point forward, Disney and Ravensburger plans on releasing four additional sets each year.
Here’s a preview of the trailer for the game which was shared online:
