The teaser showcased pack openings and charming pixel art of various Digimon, hinting at an engaging experience for players. Additionally, the introduction of several named characters and Digimon suggests that Digimon Alysion might include a narrative component, setting it apart from the more gameplay-focused Pokémon TCG Pocket.
While a specific release date remains under wraps, Gematsu has reported that a closed beta test is on the horizon, with more details to be announced soon. This move could be a strategic play to capture the interest of fans eager for more Digimon card battling action, 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 appears poised to expand its card game's reach to a broader audience, potentially reigniting the classic Poké-Digi rivalry. As the project progresses, fans of monster-based card collecting will have more options to explore. Stay tuned for further updates as Digimon Alysion moves towards its eventual launch.
