Bandai Namco Announces Digimon Alysion, Digital Version of Digimon Card Game

Bandai Namco is making another exciting leap into the mobile gaming world with the introduction of Digimon Alysion, a digital adaptation of the beloved Digimon Card Game. This free-to-play title is slated for release on both Android and iOS platforms, though an exact launch date remains undisclosed.

The game was unveiled during the Digimon Con 2025 event on March 19th. Alongside this announcement, Bandai Namco shared additional updates, such as the continuation of Digimon Liberator with a new arc in April 2025. They also released a special video to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Digimon anime and announced a new project, Digimon Adventure: Beyond. Fans can also look forward to a new RPG titled Digimon Story: Time Stranger, which will be available on consoles and PC.

Digimon Alysion: A Fresh Take on the Card Game

Digimon Alysion isn't just a simple port of the physical card game. It introduces a unique feature called 'DigiAly' cards, which are exclusive to this digital version. Alongside these, the game will include new Digimon and characters, adding fresh content for players to explore.

The character lineup featured on the game's website is predominantly an all-female cast, which marks a distinctive shift in direction for a digital card game. This choice has sparked some skepticism among fans, particularly those who were hoping for a more faithful adaptation of the physical game.

This isn't Bandai Namco's first foray into Digimon mobile gaming. Their previous attempts have met with mixed success, leading to some reservations about whether Digimon Alysion will break the mold. Despite these concerns, anticipation for the game remains high. A closed beta test is currently in the planning stages, though specifics are yet to be revealed. For the latest updates, fans can visit the official website or follow their X account.
