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

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.
Animal Colosseum releases on January 19th, so let’s look at the Yellow cards hitting the format. There is a bit of overlap, but we are getting a Fanglongmon card. I’m a bit underwhelmed by the design, but at least the alt art card is cool. Mitamamon is a personal favorite from this color.

I’ll end the Blast Acereveals on what has been consistently my favorite color in the card game, purple. Purple always seems to include my favorite Digimon, and the vibe is always good. We have a Loogamon line, which looks amazing! I am very excited to see it materialize in the web novel. You can also check out my version where I try to clean up the translation. I am a huge fan of the art, and any set that includes more Globimon and Ogremon wins me over instantly.
