Bandai Namco is taking another exciting step to bring the beloved Digimon franchise to mobile platforms with the introduction of Digimon Alysion, a digital rendition of the Digimon Card Game. This free-to-play title is slated for release on both Android and iOS, though an exact launch date remains under wraps.

The game was officially unveiled during Digimon Con 2025, which occurred on March 19th. Alongside this announcement, Bandai Namco shared additional updates, including the continuation of Digimon Liberator with a new arc set to launch in April 2025. They also released a special video commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Digimon anime and teased a new project titled Digimon Adventure: Beyond. Moreover, fans can look forward to a new RPG, Digimon Story: Time Stranger, designed for consoles and PC.

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

Digimon Alysion isn't merely a direct port of the physical card game. It introduces a unique feature called ‘DigiAly’ cards, complementing the original cards crafted specifically for this digital version. Bandai Namco is also incorporating new Digimon and characters into the mix.

The character lineup featured on the game's website primarily consists of an all-female cast, which is an unconventional choice for a digital card game. This decision 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 and thrive where others have struggled.

Despite these concerns, the anticipation for Digimon Alysion remains high. A closed beta test is currently in development, though details are still being kept confidential. For the latest updates, fans can visit the game's official website or follow their X account.
