Key Notes
- Digimon Alysion is accepting mobile pre-registrations, while its publisher continues to describe the release window as 2026.
- The campaign offers card packs and named Digimon cards at registration milestones, with rewards delivered through in-game mail at launch.
- The digital game retains memory-based turns and evolving card stacks, while automatically managing costs and resolving effects.
Bandai has opened pre-registration for Digimon Alysion on iOS and Android, giving its upcoming digital card game a clearer route to launch. The free-to-play release combines competitive battles with a story designed to introduce players to the Digimon Card Game.
The pre-registration campaign is now live, with rewards linked to the number of people who sign up. The publisher is also updating the official website with explanations of the rules and new promotional videos.
Registration Rewards Build Toward Launch
The campaign’s first milestone is 50,000 registrations, which unlocks ten BD-01 pack tickets. At 100,000, the reward is the BD1-02 Gemmon card. Higher milestones add BT1-044 MetalGarurumon at 150,000 and BT1-025 WarGreymon at 200,000.
Rewards are scheduled to arrive through in-game mail when the app launches. The campaign runs from the start of registration until release, although Bandai notes that its details and schedule can change.
The announcement is a registration opening, not a playable launch. Gematsu reports that the stores cover 49 countries and regions, while the accompanying publisher materials continue to target 2026. An App Store date of December 23 should therefore be treated as provisional rather than a separately confirmed release day.
Official links take players to the appropriate mobile storefront. Availability should be checked in the user’s own region, particularly where the store does not offer the registration option.
Digivolution and Memory Shape the Battles
The official rules guide describes a 50-card main deck and a separate Digi-Egg deck of up to five cards. Players build stronger Digimon by stacking cards through digivolution, carrying inherited effects into later forms.
Winning involves breaking through an opponent’s five security cards and then landing a direct attack. The shared memory gauge controls the flow of turns: paying card costs moves the gauge toward the opponent, and the turn ends when it reaches at least one on their side.
The app handles cost accounting and resolves card effects automatically. That reduces the manual administration of the tabletop game while leaving decisions about attacking, evolving and deploying support cards with the player.
Different card colors support different approaches. The guide describes offensive red cards, defensive black effects and green cards that can lower digivolution costs, giving newcomers several ways to begin understanding deck construction.
A Story Built to Teach New Players
The official introduction follows Kanata Hondo, a gamer who likes Digimon but has little experience with its cards. Her online friend Futre brings her into Digimon Liberator, the fictional full-dive game that provides the setting for their adventures in Lacuna.
This gives the app a way to explain its systems through a character learning them. The story introduces friends and rivals alongside card battles, while the publisher describes Alysion as an online card game with optional in-app purchases.
The launch campaign joins a busy period for creature-based mobile franchises. We covered Roco Kingdom’s global beta, which takes the genre toward open-world exploration. Alysion instead centers its play on collecting cards, building decks and learning the timing of a duel.
