Under the sprawling canopy of creativity and excitement that was Gen Con 2025 in Indianapolis, Disney Lorcana celebrated its two-year milestone with all the flair and pizzazz only its iconic characters could muster. With an audience of enamored fans desperate for the next spellbinding chapter, it delivered revelations in true Disney fashion—colorful, charming, and utterly spellbinding.
As the crowds gathered, new ways to dive into the enchanting world of Lorcana were unveiled like glittering treasures before eager eyes. Emerging from behind the curtain of secrecy was the Lorcana Collection Starter Set, due to charm the masses on October 3. For those tentatively twirling their toes in the magical waters of Lorcana for the first time or seasoned players looking to up their game, this is set to be the ultimate ticket. It boasts a Mickey Mouse — Brave Little Tailor-themed 4-pocket portfolio, a Tinker Bell — Giant Fairy promo, an enticing four Fabled booster packs, and a collector’s guide-worthy of the most magical library—all bundled at an enchanting price of $29.99.
Not to be outdone, the Elsa Gift Box played its majestic ace card, offering not just five boosters and a special Elsa — The Fifth Spirit promo, but also a storage box and three practical yet whimsical punch-out card dividers, all for those itching for more spellscast treasures. If persuading card collectors wasn’t already a sure bet, the price tag confidently matched its competitive neighbor at $29.99.
As the sands inexorably trickle towards another year, whispers of Winterspell began to grace the corridors. Slated for Q1 2026, this expansion vows to deliver “Flurries of Fun” as images adorn themselves with a chilly, whimsical snow draping over tropically inclined scenes fronted by none other than Stitch and Angel. Elsa and Olaf have yet to confirm their attendance, but whispers suggest their integration is as likely as a cold snap in Arendelle. Not far behind, the excitement finds another home in Q2 2026 with the entrance of Toy Story legends bearing names we’ve grown up loving—Woody and Buzz, planting stories and memories into every future booster pack.
Gen Con’s grand hall wasn’t just a venue for futuristic whispers, but also a tangible treasure trove as six 1,000-piece Lorcana puzzles made their debut with mild hysteria. Each puzzle is a tribute to the game’s six ink colors, making them collector’s items extraordinaire with the added allure of a Mickey Mouse — True Friend promo card. Already unveiled were four of these brain-teasing delights, showcasing Amber with Moana, Emerald cradling Cruella de Vil, Sapphire housing Hades, and Ruby enshrining Maleficent. The fate of Amethyst and Steel remains tantalizingly out of sight with expectations spiraling ever upward. Retailing at $29.99 in the U.S. and Canada, these are poised to be a thinking fan’s dream come September 1.
As the year of Lorcana draws to a close, November bids adieu with a crescendo: Whispers in the Well. Teasing out of its shroud on November 7 for a pre-release and bursting forth wide on November 14, this set closes the chapter of 2025. Here, new character type Whispers emerges, promising to lure in fans with their partially formed Glimmers. Reinforcements arrive in the form of Zootopia’s hard-nosed detective Judy Hopps and her roguish accomplice, Nick Wilde. Millennial fans can bask in Gargoyle nostalgia as characters like Demona come home to roost in the sprawling universe of Lorcana.
Forward-looking aspirations materialize on August 25 with Fabled gracing local game stores first, and everywhere from September 5 onward. A new tier of rarity strides onto the scene, Iconic, posed to outrank even the sought-after Enchanted cards. Initial appearances see Minnie Mouse — Sweetheart Princess and Mickey Mouse — Brave Little Prince charming not just as individual cards, but coupling together to conjure a scene carousel enthusiasts will undoubtedly mull over. The line-up continues with the Epic rarity, a masterstroke finding its place between Legendary and Enchanted. Among the heart-pounding announcements was the confirmation of Stand Out from A Goofy Movie, marking a long-awaited arrival to a rhythmic dance of nostalgic triumph.
The crescendo of Gen Con 2025 left Disney Lorcana aficionados brimming with hopeful anticipation. Between new rare card tiers, imaginative expansions, and classic Disney crossovers, Lorcana’s horizon glows with promise, sprinkling magic and wonder onto enthusiasts eager to shuffle into what promises to be another enchanting and bustling year.
