Bandai Namco Launches Digimon Alysion: Digital Card Game

Bandai Namco is set to launch Digimon Alysion, a digital rendition of the beloved Digimon Card Game, on Android and iOS platforms. This free-to-play game was officially unveiled during Digimon Con 2025 on March 19th, although an exact release date remains undisclosed. The event also brought news of the ongoing Digimon Liberator series entering a new arc in April 2025, alongside a special video celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Digimon anime. Additionally, Bandai Namco teased new projects, including Digimon Adventure: Beyond and an RPG titled Digimon Story: Time Stranger for consoles and PC.

If You Play Digimon Card Game, Alysion Isn’t the Same

Digimon Alysion isn't just a direct port of the physical card game. It introduces innovative 'DigiAly' cards, designed specifically for this digital version, alongside the traditional cards. The game also features new Digimon and characters, expanding the universe in exciting ways. Interestingly, the character lineup leans heavily towards an all-female cast, a unique choice for a digital card game that has sparked some curiosity and skepticism among fans expecting a more faithful adaptation of the physical game.

This isn't Bandai Namco's first venture into Digimon mobile gaming, and their previous attempts have not been particularly successful. With two failed tries behind them, there's understandable caution surrounding Digimon Alysion's potential success. Despite this, anticipation for the game remains high. A closed beta test is on the horizon, though specifics are still under wraps. For more information, fans can visit the official website or follow their X account.
