The upcoming Disney Lorcana collectible card game is due out for release next year and looks to become a potential rival for games like Magic: The Gathering and the Pokemon Trading Card Game. Few details, such as how gameplay will work, have been revealed as of yet, although that hasn’t stopped the early preview cards sold at D23 to sell for big bucks on eBay. Each player in the game is described as an “Illumineer,” a sorcerer with the ability to summon various characters from across Disney’s many stories. Characters summoned by players are “Glimmers” of actual Disney characters, and the game will involve quests of some kind along with an overarching storyline.
Disney Lorcana will also be supported by a robust Organized Play system designed to help ease newcomers to trading card games into the play experience. In an interview with ComicBook.com, veteran game designer Ryan Miller spoke about his excitement of seeing Disney Lorcana come to life. “I always say that making games is kind of like that feeling you get when you bought someone a gift and they haven’t gotten it yet, and you’re excited for them to open it,” Miller said. It’s that kind of excitement that I feel every time I work on a game, and I’ve never been more excited about any game I’ve worked on before Disney Lorcana.”
Disney Lorcana will be released in Fall 2023.
