Bandai Namco is gearing up to launch Digimon Alysion, a digital adaptation of the Digimon Card Game, for Android and iOS devices. Announced as a free-to-play game during Digimon Con 2025 on March 19th, fans eagerly await its release, though no specific date has been confirmed yet. Alongside this exciting news, Bandai Namco revealed updates on other projects, including the continuation of Digimon Liberator with a new arc set to launch in April 2025. They also celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Digimon anime with a special video and introduced a new project titled Digimon Adventure: Beyond. Additionally, they're developing a new RPG called Digimon Story: Time Stranger, designed for consoles and PC.
Digimon Alysion: More Than Just a Card Game
Digimon Alysion isn't merely a digital replica of the physical Digimon Card Game. It introduces a unique feature called 'DigiAly' cards, which will coexist with the original cards tailored for this mobile version. Bandai Namco is also expanding the universe by introducing new Digimon and characters. Notably, the game's character lineup leans towards an all-female cast, a move that has sparked curiosity and skepticism among fans expecting a closer adaptation of the physical game.
This isn't Bandai Namco's first foray into Digimon mobile gaming, and their past attempts haven't been successful. With two previous failures, there's a cautious optimism about whether Digimon Alysion will break the mold. Despite these concerns, anticipation remains high, and a closed beta test is on the horizon, though specifics are yet to be disclosed. For the latest updates, keep an eye on their official website and X account.
