Bandai Namco Unveils Digimon Alysion: Digital Card Game

Bandai Namco is taking another exciting step into the mobile gaming world with the announcement of Digimon Alysion, a digital adaptation of the beloved Digimon Card Game. This free-to-play game is slated for release on both Android and iOS platforms, though an exact launch date remains under wraps.

The official unveiling of Digimon Alysion occurred at Digimon Con 2025 on March 19th. Alongside this reveal, Bandai Namco shared several other exciting updates, including the continuation of Digimon Liberator with a new arc set for April 2025. They also celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Digimon anime with a special video and introduced a new project, Digimon Adventure: Beyond. Fans of RPGs can also look forward to Digimon Story: Time Stranger, which is in development for consoles and PC.

Digimon Alysion: Not Just Another Card Game

Digimon Alysion isn't merely a digital replica of the physical Digimon Card Game. It introduces innovative 'DigiAly' cards designed specifically for this mobile version, alongside traditional cards. Bandai Namco is also expanding the universe with new Digimon and characters, adding fresh elements to the gameplay.

Interestingly, the character roster on the game's website features an all-female lineup, which is a unique approach for a digital card game. This direction has sparked mixed reactions among fans, particularly those who were expecting a more traditional adaptation of the physical game.

Bandai Namco's previous ventures into Digimon mobile gaming haven't been successful, marking two failed attempts. This history adds a layer of caution and anticipation around whether Digimon Alysion will break the cycle and thrive.

Despite these concerns, the buzz around Digimon Alysion is palpable. A closed beta test is on the horizon, though specifics are yet to be disclosed. For the latest updates, fans are encouraged to check out the game's official website or follow their X account.
