Digimon Con to Reveal New Project: Digital TCG Incoming?

For fans of the beloved Digimon franchise, the upcoming Digimon Con 2025 is set to be a landmark event. Attendees can anticipate a slew of exciting announcements and updates on future projects within the franchise. One teaser, in particular, has sparked significant interest: an image featuring a puzzled Renamon alongside a mobile phone.

This teaser has led many to speculate about the possibility of a digital version of the Digimon Trading Card Game (TCG). While there's already a tutorial app available for iOS and Android, similar to other Bandai Namco physical trading card games, the recent launch of Pokémon TCG Pocket suggests that a mobile Digimon TCG could be on the horizon. However, it's important to temper our excitement, as the teaser might simply be hinting at using mobile devices to watch the upcoming livestream rather than indicating a new mobile platform for the game.

Going DigitalIt's no secret that Digimon, while cherished, often finds itself in the shadow of the more globally dominant Pokémon. The rivalry between the two was palpable in the late '90s and 2000s, yet Pokémon has since claimed the crown in global pop culture. A digital TCG for Digimon wouldn't be an automatic success like it might be for Pokémon, but it's not a risky move either. The Digimon TCG still enjoys a dedicated following, and expanding its accessibility could be a significant achievement. We'll have to tune into the Digimon Con livestream later this month to find out more.
