Bandai Namco Reveals Digimon Alysion, Digital Card Game

Bandai Namco is gearing up to bring the beloved Digimon franchise back to mobile devices with their latest offering, Digimon Alysion. This new game is a digital adaptation of the popular Digimon Card Game and is set to be released on both Android and iOS platforms as a free-to-play title. While an exact release date hasn't been announced yet, fans can expect it sometime in the near future.

The announcement came during Digimon Con 2025 on March 19th, where Bandai Namco not only unveiled Digimon Alysion but also shared other exciting updates. Digimon Liberator is set to continue with a fresh arc in April 2025. Additionally, a special video was released to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Digimon anime, and a new project, Digimon Adventure: Beyond, was revealed. Fans can also look forward to a new RPG, Digimon Story: Time Stranger, which will be available on consoles and PC.

Digimon Alysion: More Than Just a Card Game

It's important to note that Digimon Alysion is not merely a direct port of the physical Digimon Card Game. Instead, it introduces innovative 'DigiAly' cards alongside the original cards, designed specifically for this digital version. Bandai Namco is also bringing new Digimon and characters to the game, which adds a fresh layer of excitement.

The character lineup featured on the website leans heavily towards an all-female cast, which is a unique approach for a digital card game. This direction has sparked some skepticism among fans, especially those who were hoping for a more traditional adaptation of the physical game.

It's worth mentioning that Digimon Alysion isn't Bandai Namco's first foray into mobile gaming with the Digimon franchise. Their previous attempts have not been as successful as hoped, leading to some hesitation about the potential success of Digimon Alysion. Despite this, there's still a lot of anticipation for the game, and a closed beta test is currently in the works, though details remain under wraps. For more information, fans can visit the official website or follow Bandai Namco's X account.
