A New Year of Magic
Disney Lorcana continues its rapid expansion in 2026, with Ravensburger unveiling a comprehensive roadmap for the popular trading card game. Following the success of previous sets, the publisher is pulling from the deepest corners of the Disney pantheon to keep collectors engaged throughout the year.
The upcoming schedule promises a mix of seasonal themes and long-awaited character debuts. From a winter wonderland to the wild west of Pixar animation, the 2026 lineup is designed to appeal to both veteran players and newcomers alike. With preorders already active for the first release, the excitement is building for what lies ahead.
Winterspell Arrives in February
The year kicks off with Winterspell, the eleventh set in the Lorcana lineup, launching on February 20. While the Christmas-themed cards arrive nearly two months after the holiday, the set offers festive snowy variants of beloved characters. The prerelease event is scheduled for February 13, giving eager players an early look at the new cards.
Collectors have several purchasing options available. The standard booster pack contains 12 cards, including a specific distribution of rarities and one random foil card. For those looking to stock up, a booster pack display contains 24 individual packs. The Illumineer's Trove serves as a comprehensive starter kit, including:
- A durable card storage box
- Six card dividers for organization
- Eight booster packs for deck building
- Six damage-counter dice and a lore counter
Specific characters confirmed for the set include Mickey Mouse as a Snowboard Ace, alongside Jiminy Cricket and Willie the Giant. The set also features Lonely Resting Place, a card pulling double duty as the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future.

Collector Products & March Releases
March brings two distinct products tailored for collectors, separate from the main set releases. Arriving on March 13, the Scrooge McDuck Gift Box is a highlight for fans of the wealthy duck. While not yet available for preorder, the box guarantees an exclusive Scrooge McDuck, S.H.U.S.H. Agent in Glimmer Foil.
Unlike standard bundles, this gift box includes five random booster packs drawn from prior sets. This offers collectors a chance to acquire older cards or complete existing collections. The second March release is the Collection Starter Set, which features a portfolio adorned with Stitch. It includes a Glimmer Foil variant of Stitch, specifically the Carefree Snowboarder, alongside four booster packs to begin a new collection.
Wilds Unknown: The Pixar Era
Set to release on May 15, Wilds Unknown represents a significant pivot for the trading card game. This set leans heavily into cowboy fantasies, led by Woody and Buzz Lightyear. It marks the first time Lorcana is integrating characters from Pixar films, specifically The Incredibles and Toy Story.
Accompanying the set launch, Ravensburger is introducing new product formats to the ecosystem. A Prerelease Kit will be available, containing a promo card, dice, six booster packs from the new set, and a deck box. Additionally, a new 2-Player Starter Set will debut, featuring preconstructed decks, lore trackers, tokens, and playmats. This product is designed to facilitate immediate gameplay for two participants.

The Road Ahead: Q3 & Q4
The second half of 2026 remains shrouded in mystery, though Ravensburger has teased two additional sets. Sometime in the third quarter, Attack of the Vine is scheduled to launch. This set is expected to feature characters from Monsters Inc. and Turning Red, though specific details regarding mechanics or card counts are currently unavailable.
As the year draws to a close, Coco and More is slated for a Q4 release. This will mark the first appearance of characters from the beloved film Coco in the Lorcana universe. While the specific contents of these sets are still under wraps, the inclusion of such diverse franchises suggests that Ravensburger intends to explore the full breadth of the House of Mouse's intellectual property in the coming years.
What to Watch For
2026 is shaping up to be a transformative year for Disney Lorcana. With the confirmed integration of Pixar characters and the introduction of new product formats, the game is expanding both its narrative scope and its accessibility. The immediate focus remains on the Winterspell prerelease in February, where collectors will get their first hands-on experience with the new snowy variants.
As the year progresses, the community will be watching closely for more details regarding the Attack of the Vine and Coco and More sets. With preorders already live for the February release and March collector items on the horizon, players have a busy schedule ahead. The evolution of the game continues to mirror the vast and varied history of Disney animation itself.
