Beginning Observerhits stores on May 24th, which means its time to get excited and look at all the spoilers released so far. There are ton of very cute cards in this set, and some cards from the Digimon Seekers web novel. While the official release was a bit disappointing, it wasn’t so bad once I fixed it up a bit. Regardless if you read the novel, there are some cards in this set you’re going to want in your collection.

The first chapter of Digimon Liberatorwas released on the official Digimon website, and Bandai has botched its release. If you can get the comic to load, it’s off to a strong start, but I gave up when it stopped loading halfway through. The comic is supposed to bring new people into the hobby with its compelling narrative, memorable characters, and story-inspired product. Unfortunately, botched releases like this continue to hurt the growth of the Digimon fandom. While long-time fans will find ways to struggle through the official content or find fan-driven alternatives, newer or casual fans will give up. I hope that Bandai listens to its fans enough to fix the comic moving better, but I read through Digimon Seekers and know better.
That said, the Digimon TCG is getting a Liberator themed set sometime in September, and we got some spoilers! The cards look sick! I was ready to give up on the comic, but after seeing some of these cards, I might struggle through or find an alternative.

Digimon Con 2024 aired last night, and while there were a few announcements to be excited about, most fans will find it disappointing. Unless you like the toys, music, and pageantry of the event, there isn’t a real reason to sit through the three hours. I like listening to the voice actors about their experiences, watching the concerts, and enjoying the jokes and energy the presenters bring. I’m still sad that I can’t play Digimon on my phone, but there is a bit of news that I am excited for.
I’ll be breaking up the event into the announcements I think are the most exciting, but the VOD is still up on the official YouTube if you want to watch. If you enjoy these updates, please leave a like, comment, and share this with your friends. Don’t forget to follow the socials.
I am most excited about the Digimon Liberator news. Serialization for the comic begins on April 25th in English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese. I hope the English translation is better than what we got for Seekers.
In celebration of the announcement, we got a new trailer that will leave you hyped. I know it did for me. The song is fantastic, and the art is amazing. I just hope there is enough interest in the comic for an anime. I am not alone when I say an anime series about the Digimon card game would be amazing.
We did get a prologue to set up the series, but the site seems to be down as of writing this. I’ll leave the link in case it gets fixed. I recommend you check it out, it’s got a great style.
Synopsis
The Digimon Card Game has become engraved in the world’s shared cultural zeitgeist. People from around the world tune in to watch the behemoths of the game duke it out on the tabletop. But the world of Digimon TCG as we know it is about to change forever
After a year-long beta, Lucana has been released to the public, taking the Digimon Card game into the metaverse. In celebration of its release, the next World Championship will be held on the platform. Players from around the world can now log into Lucana and compete for a spot at the top. But Lucana has a dark secret that will bring the world into chaos. Who will come out on top? What secrets will be uncovered? You’re going to have to read to find out.
New Characters
We got more character art and digivolutions, and I am a huge fan of the design. I am a huge fan of the Chaperomon and Cendrillmon. I love the design, but the flavor is just so good!
New Product
The comic was created to sell Digimon cards, and to no one’s surprise, we’re getting Digimon Liberator product! We are getting:
2 New starter Decks (ST-18 & ST-19) with unique full art alt cards
A Theme Booster Set – Digimon Liberator (EX07)
Official Sleeves
I am a huge fan of the alt arts and can’t wait to see what the set will bring to the hobby.
The Digimon Liberator webcomic was teased last month. The webcomic will be about the card game and will introduce new characters, Digimon, and Digivolutions. To celebrate, Bandai is releasing six promo cards featuring the new characters. I’m digging these promos and hope they make them easy to obtain later on.
Digimon Liberator packs will be given out at the Bandai Card Games Fest in Los Angeles, January 27-28. Packs will only have 1 card, so I hope they make it easy to earn multiple. A global release of the promo packs will be announced later this year.
The event is free, so if you are in the area and love Digimon or any of the other Bandai IPs, try to make some time. It looks like it is too late to participate and spectate the tournaments, but they’ll be streaming the finals on YouTube.
Attendees will also have the chance to earn an Illustration Competition and Digimon Liberator promo pack by completing the scavenger hunt. Supplies are limited, so you better act fast! There are some cool promos going into this event, so let’s at least have a look!

Atendees can get their hands on this sick Imperialdramon promo! I love the colors! I’ll be updating this with a better quality image as soon as I find one.
Illustration Competition 2023 Promos
These are still being revealed, so I’ll be updating this post regularly until I have the full set.
Animal Colosseum releases this Friday, January 19th, and I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate the alt art cards. I love Digimon because it has some of the coolest art in any TCG (I’m a little biased), and this set is no exception. I’ve already made a post for the Digital art, but they don’t do them justice. This is a game where you need to hold the foil in your hand to appreciate the detail. I don’t have the real thing, so pictures will have to do for now.

Animal Colosseum releases on January 19th, so let’s get excited by looking at all the alt art cards. This set has some amazing art. It was hard to choose a favorite, but the retro frame MetalGarurumon (X Antibody) alt stands out the most. If you enjoyed the Digimon Dawn and Dusk games, the alts for the mascots are amazing! You’re definitely going to want some of these in your collection.
