Bandai Namco Unveils Digimon Alysion: Digital Card Game

Bandai Namco is set to bring the beloved Digimon franchise to mobile devices once again with the launch of Digimon Alysion, a digital adaptation of the Digimon Card Game. This free-to-play title is slated for release on both Android and iOS platforms, although an exact launch date has yet to be announced.

The official announcement came during Digimon Con 2025, held on March 19th. At the event, Bandai Namco also shared updates on other projects, including the continuation of Digimon Liberator with a new arc set for April 2025. They celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Digimon anime with a special video and unveiled a new project, Digimon Adventure: Beyond, along with a new RPG titled Digimon Story: Time Stranger, which will be available on consoles and PC.

Digimon Alysion: More Than Just a Card Game

Digimon Alysion isn't just a direct port of the physical Digimon Card Game; it introduces a unique element known as 'DigiAly' cards, which are exclusive to this digital version. Alongside these, Bandai Namco is bringing in new Digimon and characters to enrich the game's universe. The character roster featured on the game's website leans heavily towards an all-female cast, which has sparked some curiosity and skepticism among fans expecting a more traditional adaptation.

This isn't Bandai Namco's first foray into Digimon mobile gaming, and their past efforts have met with mixed results. With two previous attempts that didn't quite hit the mark, there's a cautious optimism surrounding Digimon Alysion. Despite these concerns, I'm eagerly anticipating its release. A closed beta test is planned, though specifics are still under wraps. For the latest updates, keep an eye on the official website or their X account.
