Disney Lorcana has unveiled major updates about the trading card game's future, confirming the September 5, 2025 release of its ninth set - Fabled. This landmark expansion introduces game-changing elements including the first-ever Iconic and Epic rarity cards, plus the long-awaited inclusion of A Goofy Movie characters.
Major Announcements for Disney Lorcana
The reveals didn't stop with Fabled. Ravensburger shared details about the upcoming eighth set - Reign of Jafar - launching June 6, introduced a new Collection Starter Set, outlined plans for the Disney Lorcana World Championship, and teased the eventual arrival of fan-favorite Darkwing Duck.
Fabled Brings Rarity Overhaul and Competitive Rotation
The Fabled set marks several firsts for Disney Lorcana when it arrives August 29 (pre-release) and September 5 (wide release). A Goofy Movie characters will debut, though specific cards remain under wraps. Notably, Mickey and Minnie will appear as the inaugural Iconic Cards - the rarest tier with only two per set.

Fabled also introduces Epic Cards - rarer than Legendary but below Enchanted rarity. These feature special artwork and foil treatments, like a new Snow Queen Elsa card. Most significantly, Fabled begins competitive card rotation, making sets 1-4 illegal for Core Constructed tournaments. A new Infinity Constructed format will preserve access to older cards.
"Rotation encourages fresh strategies while reprints ensure accessibility," explained Ryan Miller, Lorcana Brand Manager. The set includes reprinted fan favorites like Winnie the Pooh (Hunny Wizard), even in Enchanted versions.
Reign of Jafar Expands Story with Co-Op Play
Launching May 30 (pre-release) and June 6 (wide release), the eighth set continues Jafar's villainous storyline as he wields the corrupted Hexwell Crown. New glimmers include Jasmine (Steady Strategist) and Rapunzel (High Climber).

The set debuts Illumineers' Quest: Palace Heist - a cooperative adventure for four players battling Jafar's forces. Collectors can pursue characters like Bambi (Prince of the Forest), Magic Carpet (Phantom Rug), and Jafar (High Sultan of Lorcana).
Future Teasers and Championship Details
Looking beyond Fabled, Q4 2025 will bring Whispers in the Well, likely featuring Disney's Gargoyles based on key art showing Mickey, Ariel and new Glimmer types. Darkwing Duck finally arrives in 2026 after fan requests.
The Disney Lorcana World Championship takes place June 28-29 at Walt Disney World. The inaugural tournament will crown the game's first world champion, with livestream coverage on Twitch.TV/DisneyLorcana featuring prominent community casters. A special 'A Whole New World' promo will be available during the event.
