The teaser also introduced several named characters and Digimon, hinting at a potential story-driven aspect to the game, which sets it apart from the more gameplay-focused Pokémon TCG Pocket. While specific details remain under wraps, the inclusion of a narrative element could offer a fresh and engaging experience for players.
As of now, no official release date has been announced for Digimon Alysion. However, Gematsu has reported that a closed beta test is in the works, with more details to be shared in the future. This upcoming mobile game could be a fantastic opportunity for fans craving more Digimon card battling action.
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 the reach of its card game to a broader audience. With the resurgence of the Poké-Digi rivalry on the horizon, fans of monster-based card collecting games are in for a treat. As Digimon Alysion progresses towards its eventual launch, we can look forward to more exciting updates and developments.
