In a world where card games continue to capture the hearts of fans young and old, Disney Lorcana has swiftly carved its own enchanted kingdom. As the game celebrated its second anniversary at Gen Con 2025 in Indianapolis, it became clear that the franchise wasn’t content to rest on its magical laurels. Instead, the event was an extravagant celebration, filled with expansions, exclusive product reveals, and charming nods to beloved Disney classics. The future for Disney Lorcana gleams with endless possibilities, making the convention a veritable dream come true for enthusiasts of the game.
For those who’ve ogled from afar but haven’t mustered the courage—or funds—to dive into the colorful world of Lorcana, there’s good news. Mark your calendars for October 3, when the eagerly awaited Lorcana Collection Starter Set makes its debut. This starter set is more than just an introduction; it’s an invitation. With a Mickey Mouse — Brave Little Tailor-themed 4-pocket portfolio, a Tinker Bell — Giant Fairy promotional card, and four Fabled booster packs alongside a collector’s guide, this offering allows new players to jump into the game with style and substance. Sculpted with newcomers in mind, the set promises to be both a collectible and a stepping stone into the broader Lorcana universe.
On the other hand, those who have seemingly collected it all might find themselves unable to resist the enchanting Elsa Gift Box. At a neat price of $29.99, this box includes five boosters, an Elsa — The Fifth Spirit promo, a charming storage box, and three punch-out card dividers. It’s a must-have for anyone who revels in the exquisite charm of Disney’s ice queen and is looking for more room to store their growing card array.
Winterspell, the first glorious expansion of 2026, promises to thaw and amaze come the first quarter of the year. Titled “Flurries of Fun,” this release sees a snowy transformation of typically tropical scenes, suggesting the chilly influence of Elsa and Olaf among its ranks. Players should prepare to make room on their shelves as beloved characters Stitch and Angel prepare to dazzle amidst the frost-kissed setting.
Meanwhile, the second quarter will take fans to infinity and beyond with the addition of Toy Story favorites, beginning with the iconic duo Woody and Buzz. The rest of the Toy Story ensemble will undoubtedly follow, tucked cheekily within booster packs just waiting to be unveiled.
In an intriguing twist, Lorcana dabbles in something exclusive for puzzle-loving fans. Set to hit shelves on September 1, a new collection of six 1,000-piece puzzles comes complete with promotional cards, each centered around one of the game’s iconic ink colors. So far, fans can expect delectably themed puzzles like Amber (Moana) and Emerald (Cruella de Vil), with a sprinkling of Sapphire (Hades) and Ruby (Maleficent). The yet-to-be-revealed Amethyst and Steel puzzles are enigmatically elusive, only procurable through Disney Stores and their online emporium. These too go for $29.99, serving as both cerebral challenges and aesthetic triumphs.
As the year rounds out, Lorcana prepares to wrap things up in rather fitting fashion with “Whispers in the Well.” Slated for a pre-release on November 7 and a wide release a week later, this set introduces a new character type called Whispers—partially formed Glimmers. Fans of the Zootopia universe will delight in the introduction of Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, while millennials are treated to gusts of nostalgia with the arrival of Gargoyles characters like the formidable Demona.
As if these imaginative and magical expansions weren’t enough, the “Fabled” addition drops in local game stores on August 25, followed by broader distribution on September 5. This release ups the stakes with the introduction of the Iconic rarity—a jewel even rarer than Enchanted cards. Debuting in this collection are Minnie Mouse — Sweetheart Princess and Mickey Mouse — Brave Little Prince. When side by side, these cards form a breathtaking tableau sure to become a centerpiece in any collector’s lineup. Add to that the Epic rarity cards, which nestle between the Legendary and Enchanted rarities, and you have a concoction of collectible dynamite. The likes of a definite fan-favorite, Stand Out from A Goofy Movie, makes its glittering debut under this new rarity tier.
With a mesmerizing fusion of rare cards, thrilling crossovers, and the promise of even more explorations into the worlds of Disney, Gen Con 2025 has firmly stamped that Lorcana is not just in motion—it’s soaring. For players and collectors alike, the upcoming seasons are brimming with magic, mischief, and unmatched anticipation.
