Bandai Namco Unveils Digimon Alysion: Digital Card Game

Bandai Namco is taking another shot at bringing the beloved Digimon franchise to mobile devices with their latest venture, Digimon Alysion. This new game, a digital adaptation of the Digimon Card Game, is set to launch on both Android and iOS platforms as a free-to-play title. While an exact release date remains under wraps, the anticipation is palpable among fans.

The official announcement came during Digimon Con 2025, held on March 19th. The event was packed with exciting updates, including the continuation of Digimon Liberator with a new arc set to premiere in April 2025. Additionally, Bandai Namco celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Digimon anime with a special video and unveiled a new project, Digimon Adventure: Beyond. Fans also got a glimpse of an upcoming RPG, Digimon Story: Time Stranger, slated for release on consoles and PC.

Digimon Alysion: More Than Just a Card Game

Digimon Alysion is not just a simple port of the physical Digimon Card Game. It introduces a novel feature called ‘DigiAly’ cards, unique to this digital version, alongside the original cards. Bandai Namco is also expanding the universe with new Digimon and characters. However, the character lineup, predominantly featuring an all-female cast, has raised some eyebrows among the community. This unconventional approach has sparked discussions, especially among those who were hoping for a more traditional adaptation of the physical game.

This isn't Bandai Namco's first foray into Digimon mobile games. Their previous attempts have met with mixed success, which adds a layer of uncertainty to Digimon Alysion's potential. Despite this, the excitement for the game remains strong, and a closed beta test is currently in the planning stages.
