A year ago, Disney announced a new project under the name Lorcana, which wasn’t clear what it would be about at the time. However, since it was registered as “Goods and Services,” Lorcana could be basically anything branded by Disney.
Today, Disney has officially announced that Lorcana will be its upcoming trading card game, which is being developed in collaboration with veteran board game publisher Ravensburger. This new trading card game will be suitable for all the family and is set to release sometime toward Holiday 2023. However, pricing for the Lorcana game and subsequent card packs hasn’t been confirmed yet.
According to the press release announcing the game, Disney Lorcana will feature Disney characters in their original and reimagined art styles. It will also “contain more original Disney artwork than any other single product ever created,” according to John Balen, Disney’s Vice President of Product Design. However, the collaboration will specifically be between Walt Disney Animation Studios and Ravensburger.
The game will be set in the world of Lorcana, where players will take on the role of a powerful sorcerer called an Illumineer. Ravensburger Brand Manager Ryan Miller, who helped design Lorcana’s gameplay, explains that there is a place called The Great Illuminary, “a treasury of all Disney songs and stories ever made,” including their various characters. As an Illumineer, the player will use their powers to bring these iconic figures to life and form a party of Disney characters to adventure with.
The first glimpse of the new trading card game will be at Disney's D23 expo, which starts on September 9.
