In the charming city of Indianapolis, where Gen Con 2025 unfolded with all the splendor of a magical Disney parade, fans of Disney Lorcana found themselves in a paradise of announcements and surprises that sparkled brighter than Cinderella’s slipper. As the beloved game turned two, the convention hall buzzed with excitement, where each corner seemed to echo with the whimsical possibility of Disney’s enchanting worlds.
The celebrations kicked off with new ways for newcomers to embrace the Lorcana universe. Set your date books for October 3 when the much-anticipated Lorcana Collection Starter Set becomes available, offering an irresistible invitation to beginners and seasoned Disney aficionados alike. Imagine a Mickey Mouse — Brave Little Tailor-themed 4-pocket portfolio, a playful Tinker Bell — Giant Fairy promo, and an alluring quartet of Fabled booster packs all wrapped in one enticing package. And, let's not forget, a collector’s guide — a map to navigate the wonders of Lorcana’s ever-expanding universe.
Attention collectors: mark these words — the Elsa Gift Box is a treasure chest waiting to be discovered. Priced at an appealing $29.99, it includes five boosters, an Elsa — The Fifth Spirit promo, a storage box designed to allure even the most discerning collector, and three punch-out card dividers for those who value both form and function in their card organizing pursuits.
As the roadmap for the future of Disney Lorcana unfolded, fans were teased with a taste of what 2026 has to offer. The first expansion, Winterspell, promises to bring “Flurries of Fun” with its Q1 release. Picture a snowy wonderland where tropical scenes take a frosty turn, featuring characters like Stitch and Angel basking under an icy enchantment. Will Elsa and Olaf make their way into these frozen fantasies? The anticipations are high.
As the seasons change, so do the stories we tell. Moving into Q2 2026, Toy Story, a cherished Pixar classic, arrives with characters that have become friends to generations. Woody and Buzz will lead this playful parade, with whispers of the rest of the gang awaiting their moment to shine in booster packs scattered like toys across the room.
The spirit of surprise continued when six 1,000-piece Lorcana puzzles were unveiled. Each puzzle corresponds with one of the game’s six ink colors and includes a Mickey Mouse — True Friend promo card, a delightful nod to the friendships forged within the Disney realm. The revealed puzzles feature beloved characters that capture the imagination: Moana for Amber, Cruella de Vil for Emerald, Hades for Sapphire, and Maleficent for Ruby. Amethyst and Steel remain shrouded in delightful mystery, their secrets held close until their official reveal in select Disney Stores and their online sanctuaries, pricing at $29.99 stateside and up north in Canada.
As the leaves of 2025 begin to fall and winter approaches, a new set titled Whispers in the Well will emerge. Slated for a pre-release on November 7 and going wide by November 14, it promises to add layers of mystery to the current sets. Introducing Whispers, partly formed Glimmers, the set invites Zootopia’s Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde to join the cast, infusing their animated spirit into the vibrant tapestry of characters. For those nostalgic at heart, the inclusion of Gargoyles like Demona in Lorcana is like discovering a treasured memory featured on a modern-day stage.
Continuing the journey into the fantastical, Fabled is poised for an August 25 local game store release and will expand everywhere else by September 5. The new addition raises the stakes with Iconic rarity cards, which surpass the elusive Enchanted cards. Collectors will covet the Minnie Mouse — Sweetheart Princess and Mickey Mouse — Brave Little Prince, whose synergy as a pair paints a scene of epic proportions. A notch below Iconic, the Epic rarity introduces Stand Out from A Goofy Movie—a beloved fan request finally fulfilled.
Gen Con 2025 proved that Disney Lorcana’s story is far from reaching its final chapter. As the event capped off a year brimming with fairy tale-like excitement, a roadmap of numerous expansions, each with its appeal, awaits eager gamers and collectors. With Lorcana paving new ways for players to engage and collectors to marvel, it seems the only certainty is that the magic is here to stay, writing a new page in Disney’s unfolding legacy.
