"Disney Lorcana's Ninth Set: Fabled Releases in September 2025 with Goofy Movie Theme"

Disney Lorcana enthusiasts have a lot to look forward to with the unveiling of exciting new developments for the trading card game. The much-anticipated ninth set, Fabled, is set to launch on September 5, 2025, and will introduce groundbreaking Iconic and Epic cards alongside the eagerly awaited inclusion of A Goofy Movie. Additionally, the eighth set, Reign of Jafar, is slated for release on June 6, and a new Collection Starter Set was announced, alongside details about the upcoming Disney Lorcana World Championship. Let's dive into the details to ensure you're up to speed on all the latest news.

Fabled Will Add Iconic and Epic Cards, A Goofy Movie, and Rotating Cards for Competitive Play

While the full details of Fabled are yet to be revealed, the excitement is palpable as the Disney Lorcana team teases fans with pre-release on August 29 and a wide release on September 5. A significant highlight of Fabled is the introduction of cards from A Goofy Movie, though specifics on which characters will feature remain under wraps.

The set will also introduce Iconic Cards, the rarest in Lorcana's history, with only two per set. The first Iconic Cards will feature Mickey and Minnie on a carousel, captivating collectors and players alike. Alongside these, Epic Cards will offer a rarity level between Legendary and Enchanted, showcasing unique artwork and foil treatments, including a new Elsa (Snow Queen) card.

A pivotal change in Fabled is the introduction of card rotation, where certain cards from the first four sets will be excluded from competitive Core Constructed play. However, fans of older cards can still enjoy them in a new format called Infinity Constructed. Moreover, Fabled will include reprints of beloved cards from earlier sets, like Winnie the Pooh (Hunny Wizard), ensuring they remain playable in competitive settings.

Ryan Miller, Brand Manager and Co-Designer of Disney Lorcana TCG at Ravensburger, emphasized the importance of card rotation for fostering new strategies and deck designs. He also noted the reprints would cater to fans who missed out on certain cards during the initial release.

For newcomers, a new Collection Starter Set offers an accessible entry point into the game. This set includes four Fabled booster packs, a Tinker Bell (Giant Fairy) "Glimmer Foil" Promo Card, a card portfolio featuring Mickey Mouse (Brave Little Tailor), and a collector's guide.

Reign of Jafar Offers Aladdin and Bambi Cards Alongside a New Co-Op Adventure

Reign of Jafar, Lorcana's eighth set, will be available for pre-release on May 30 and wide release on June 6. This set continues the narrative centered around the Disney villain, Jafar, who now wields the Hexwell Crown to corrupt Archazia’s Island. Players will encounter traps and illusions, with characters like Jasmine – Steady Strategist and Rapunzel – High Climber working together to reclaim the crown and thwart Jafar.

Alongside the set, Illumineers' Quest: Palace Heist will offer a new cooperative experience for up to four players, challenging them to defeat Jafar and his minions. Fans can look forward to new cards featuring characters like Bambi (Prince of the Forest), Flower (Shy Skunk), Thumper (Young Bunny), Jafar (High Sultan of Lorcana), Magic Carpet (Phantom Rug), and Aladdin (Vigilant Guard).

Teases of the Future Include Whispers in the Well and Darkwing Duck

Looking ahead, the set following Fabled, titled Whispers in the Well, is slated for Q4 2025. While details are scarce, key art suggests the inclusion of Mickey, Ariel, and possibly Disney Gargoyles, along with a new type of Glimmer. Further into the future, fans' wishes have been answered with the confirmation that Darkwing Duck will join Lorcana in 2026.

Get Ready For the Disney Lorcana World Championship

The competitive scene for Lorcana is set to reach new heights with the Disney Lorcana World Championship scheduled for June 28 and 29 at Walt Disney World. Players from around the globe will vie for the title of the first annual Disney Lorcana TCG World Champion. Those unable to attend can follow the action live on Twitch.TV/DisneyLorcana, with commentary from a talented team including Rebekah (RebekahQuests), Baker (LorcanaVillain), Liam (The Illumiteers), Brandon (Bsquared24), and JD (JDZ Quest).
