Bandai Namco Unveils Digimon Alysion, Digital Card Game

Bandai Namco is taking another exciting step to bring the beloved Digimon franchise to mobile devices with the upcoming release of Digimon Alysion. This digital adaptation of the Digimon Card Game will be available on both Android and iOS platforms as a free-to-play experience, though an exact release date has yet to be announced.

The game was officially unveiled during Digimon Con 2025, held on March 19th. The event also brought news of the continuation of Digimon Liberator with a new arc set to launch in April 2025. Bandai Namco marked the occasion with a special video celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Digimon anime and teased fans with announcements of a new project, Digimon Adventure: Beyond, alongside an upcoming RPG titled Digimon Story: Time Stranger, slated for release on consoles and PC.

Digimon Alysion: Not Just a Port

Digimon Alysion isn't merely a digital version of the physical card game. It introduces innovative 'DigiAly' cards, designed specifically for this mobile adaptation, alongside the traditional card set. The game will also feature new Digimon and characters, adding fresh elements to the gameplay.

The character lineup showcased on the official website leans heavily towards an all-female cast, which marks an interesting departure from typical digital card game demographics. This shift has sparked a mix of excitement and skepticism among fans, particularly those who were hoping for a more direct translation of the physical game.

Bandai Namco's previous ventures into Digimon mobile games have not been successful, making this their third attempt. Despite the company's mixed track record, there's a sense of anticipation surrounding Digimon Alysion. A closed beta test is currently in the planning stages, but details remain undisclosed. For the latest updates, fans can check the official website or follow the game's X account.
