The much-awaited trading card game (TCG) Disney Lorcana revealed the release date for the second card set, and a new playable card. The first set called Disney Lorcana: The First Chapter, featuring characters cards like Elsa, Stitch, and Captain Hook, will officially be released on August 18 in hobby stores in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, and France, followed by mass-market retail launch on September 1.
First revealed during D23 last year, Disney Lorcana puts players in the role of sorcerers known as Illumineers as they band together characters from "The Great Illuminary," which is a collection of all Disney songs and stories. The cards feature Disney character with varying power and energy levels, and unique mechanics, while Action cards apply effects or do specific actions. While players wait for Disney Lorcana, many have said that it can rival other popular TCGs like Magic: The Gathering and Pokemon.
With a few months before the first set comes out, GamesRadar reported that Disney Lorcana Set 2 will arrive on November 17 in hobby stores, and mass-market retail launch will be on December 1. Disney Lorcana also revealed a brand new Tinker Bell "Tiny Tactician" card illustrated by Grace Tran. There are no details about Disney Lorcana Set 2 yet, but based on the upcoming launch for Disney Lorcana: The First Chapter, it might come out with starter decks ($16.99), booster packs ($5.99), and a collectible set called the Illumineer's Trove ($49.99). The TCG also hasn't revealed the other cards included in the second set.
Many players expressed their excitement for Disney Lorcana's upcoming sets and booster packs. Others are loving the original artworks of Disney characters on the cards, especially Tinker Bell's adorable design, and hoped that Disney Lorcana would also include other characters like Lion King's Timon and Pumbaa.
Disney Lorcana hasn't been released yet, but creator Ravensberger already managed to build up significant hype for the TCG with its beautiful card art, and magic-filled backstory that's posted on Disney Lorcana's official website. With Disney having an expansive universe spanning almost 100 years, Ravensberger will have a wide range of characters to choose from for future cards and their respective mechanics. It might become similar to how Gameloft developed Disney Dreamlight Valley, which also features a plethora of Disney characters and is constantly updated with new features monthly. It's safe to say that the Disney conglomerate may continue leaving its mark in the gaming scene.
