Disney Lorcana is moving beyond physical cards. Ravensburger has announced a dedicated digital client for the Disney trading card game, giving players another way to build decks and play. The client is planned for desktop and mobile, while the first playtest already has an early sign-up option. There is still no confirmed launch date, so interested players should register for updates rather than expect immediate access.
What changed for Disney Lorcana players
Ravensburger revealed the digital client during a Lorcana panel at D23. The announcement indicates that the digital version will include every Disney Lorcana TCG card, potentially extending access beyond the cards currently used in the game's Core Constructed format. Ravensburger has not announced whether the digital client will launch with every card immediately or how its digital collection and play systems will work, so those details remain open.
The client is expected to support both desktop and mobile devices at launch. That gives fans the option to play at home on a PC or take Lorcana with them on a mobile device. Players can sign up through the official Lorcana digital website to receive notification about the first playtest.
Who should pay attention to the announcement
The digital release is particularly relevant to players who want a more accessible way to try Lorcana, as well as existing fans who want to test decks without relying exclusively on physical cards. It also gives collectors and long-time players a possible way to revisit cards from earlier releases, assuming Ravensburger follows through on making the full card library available.
Lorcana has grown rapidly since its 2023 debut. Ravensburger says the game has already reached 13 full sets and expanded from classic Disney properties into Pixar franchises, including Toy Story, Monsters, Inc., and The Incredibles. That growing card pool makes a digital client a notable addition, but it also means players will want more information about progression, card access, and how the digital version will handle the game's existing formats.
What comes next for Lorcana
The client is part of a busy roadmap for the TCG. The thirteenth full expansion, Attack of the Vine, launched in July and includes cards connected to Monsters, Inc., Turning Red, and Up. A later 2026 set is also planned to introduce Lorcana's first cards based on Coco.
Ravensburger additionally announced collector boosters for early 2027 alongside Into the Inkdark. Those full-foil packs will introduce the Illustrious rarity, with Maleficent presented as the first example. Before then, a new Curator's Collection focused on Beauty and the Beast is scheduled for October 2026, featuring new artwork for characters including Belle and Gaston.
For now, the digital client is the announcement to watch most closely. The playtest sign-up is available, but Ravensburger has yet to provide a full release date or explain the final feature set.

Expert View
The digital client is a meaningful next step for Lorcana, especially as the card pool continues to expand across Disney and Pixar properties. However, the announcement currently establishes availability and playtest plans rather than a finished product. Players should follow the sign-up process and wait for details on launch timing, card access, and digital-specific systems before deciding how much of their playtime will move online.
