The Pokémon-Digimon Rivalry Is Set to Be Revived With Digimon's Answer to Pokémon TCG Pocket

In the wake of the tremendous success of Pokémon TCG Pocket, Digimon is stepping into the mobile card game arena with the announcement of **Digimon Alysion**. This free-to-play online card battler is set to launch on iOS and Android devices, bringing the beloved Digimon card game experience to a digital format. While details are currently limited, a teaser trailer and additional information were unveiled during Digimon Con, showcasing the game's focus on Digivolution, pack openings, and charming pixel art representations of the various Digimon.

The announcement was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the Official Digimon Card Game English Version account, sparking excitement among fans:

During the event, fans were also introduced to several characters and Digimon, hinting at a potential story-driven element within the game. This approach differs from the more gameplay-focused Pokémon TCG Pocket, adding a unique twist to the Digimon Alysion experience.

While no specific release date has been announced, Gematsu has reported that a closed beta test is on the horizon, with more details to be shared soon. For fans eager to dive into more Digimon card battling, Digimon Alysion could be the perfect addition to their gaming collection, especially given the massive popularity of Pokémon TCG Pocket.

On the Pokémon side, developers have acknowledged the need for changes to the trading system in Pokémon TCG Pocket, though these updates may take some time to implement. Meanwhile, Digimon Alysion aims to bring its card game to a broader audience, potentially reigniting the classic Poké-Digi rivalry. As the game progresses towards its launch, fans of monster-based card collecting will have even more options to explore. Stay tuned for further updates on Digimon Alysion as we approach its eventual release.
