Bandai Namco Unveils Digimon Alysion: Digital Card Game

Bandai Namco is gearing up to bring the beloved Digimon franchise to mobile devices once again with the announcement of Digimon Alysion, a digital rendition of the Digimon Card Game. Set to launch on Android and iOS as a free-to-play title, the game has yet to receive a specific release date. The official unveiling took place during Digimon Con 2025 on March 19th, where Bandai Namco also shared exciting updates about other projects, including the continuation of Digimon Liberator with a new arc in April 2025.

Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Digimon anime, a special video was released alongside the announcement of a new project, Digimon Adventure: Beyond. Additionally, fans can look forward to a new RPG titled Digimon Story: Time Stranger, set to release on consoles and PC.

Digimon Alysion: Not Just a Card Game Port

Digimon Alysion is not a direct port of the physical Digimon Card Game. Instead, it introduces innovative 'DigiAly' cards, complementing the original card set designed exclusively for this digital version. The game will also feature new Digimon and characters, enriching the gameplay experience. However, the character lineup showcased on the website leans heavily towards an all-female cast, which has sparked some curiosity and skepticism among fans expecting a more traditional adaptation of the physical game.

This isn't Bandai Namco's first foray into the Digimon mobile gaming space. Previous attempts have not been successful, leading to some reservations about the potential success of Digimon Alysion. Despite these concerns, anticipation remains high, and a closed beta test is currently in the planning stages, though specific details are yet to be revealed.
