Bandai Namco is gearing up to bring the beloved Digimon universe to mobile devices with their latest offering, Digimon Alysion. This new game, a digital adaptation of the Digimon Card Game, is set to launch on Android and iOS as a free-to-play title, though an exact release date remains under wraps.
The announcement came during the exciting Digimon Con 2025, held on March 19th. Alongside this reveal, Bandai Namco shared updates on other projects, including the continuation of Digimon Liberator with a new arc in April 2025. They also celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Digimon anime with a special video and unveiled new ventures like Digimon Adventure: Beyond and a console/PC RPG titled Digimon Story: Time Stranger.
Digimon Alysion: A Fresh Take on the Card Game
Digimon Alysion isn't just a digital clone of the physical Digimon Card Game. It introduces innovative 'DigiAly' cards alongside the traditional cards, crafted specifically for this mobile version. Bandai Namco is also expanding the universe with new Digimon and characters, adding a fresh twist to the gameplay.
The game's character lineup, showcased on the official website, features an all-female cast, which is an unconventional choice for a digital card game. This direction has sparked some skepticism among fans, especially those who were expecting a more faithful adaptation of the physical game.
This isn't Bandai Namco's first rodeo in the Digimon mobile gaming arena. Their previous attempts haven't quite hit the mark, leading to some reservations about the success of Digimon Alysion. Despite these concerns, there's a buzz of excitement around the game, with a closed beta test on the horizon. For more updates, keep an eye on their official website or their X account.
