Bandai Namco is taking another exciting swing at bringing the beloved Digimon franchise to mobile devices with their latest project, *Digimon Alysion*. This new game is a digital adaptation of the popular Digimon Card Game and is set to be available on both Android and iOS platforms as a free-to-play title. While an exact release date hasn't been announced yet, anticipation is already building.
The official announcement of *Digimon Alysion* was made during Digimon Con 2025, held on March 19th. The event was packed with exciting news, including updates on *Digimon Liberator*, which is set to continue with a new arc in April 2025. Bandai Namco also released a special video celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Digimon anime and unveiled a new project, *Digimon Adventure: Beyond*. Additionally, they announced a new RPG titled *Digimon Story: Time Stranger* for consoles and PC, further expanding the Digimon universe.
Digimon Alysion: Not Just Another Card Game
*Digimon Alysion* isn't merely a direct port of the physical Digimon Card Game. It introduces a unique feature called 'DigiAly' cards, which are specifically designed for this digital version. Alongside these new cards, Bandai Namco is also bringing fresh Digimon and characters into the mix.
The character lineup featured on the game's website leans heavily towards an all-female cast, which is an unusual choice for a digital card game. This direction has sparked some skepticism among fans, particularly those who were expecting a faithful adaptation of the physical game.
This isn't Bandai Namco's first venture into Digimon mobile gaming. Their previous attempts haven't been successful, leading to some hesitation among fans about whether *Digimon Alysion* will manage to break the mold. Despite this, the anticipation remains high, and I, for one, am eagerly looking forward to the game.
A closed beta test for *Digimon Alysion* is currently in development, though specific details remain undisclosed. To stay updated, fans can visit the official website or follow their X account.
