Bandai Namco is taking another exciting step to bring the beloved Digimon franchise to mobile devices with Digimon Alysion, a digital rendition of the Digimon Card Game. This free-to-play game will be available on both Android and iOS, though an exact release date has yet to be announced.
The game was officially unveiled at Digimon Con 2025, held on March 19th. During the convention, Bandai Namco also shared updates on other projects, including the continuation of Digimon Liberator with a new arc set to launch in April 2025. They also released a special video to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Digimon anime and announced a new project titled Digimon Adventure: Beyond. Additionally, they are developing a new RPG called Digimon Story: Time Stranger, which will be available on consoles and PC.
Digimon Alysion: Not Just a Port
Digimon Alysion is not merely a direct translation of the physical card game. It introduces a new feature called ‘DigiAly’ cards, which are exclusive to this digital version, alongside the traditional cards. Bandai Namco is also bringing in new Digimon and characters to the mix.
The game's character lineup features an all-female cast, which is an unconventional choice for a digital card game. This decision has sparked some skepticism among fans who were hoping for a more faithful adaptation of the physical game.
It's worth noting that this isn't Bandai Namco's first venture into Digimon mobile gaming. Their previous attempts have not been successful, leading to some reservations about the potential success of Digimon Alysion. Despite this, anticipation for the game remains high, and a closed beta test is currently in the works, though specifics are still under wraps.
