2024 to bring competitive events and new gateway game for Disney Lorcana

Ravensburger has detailed its 2024 slate of activity for Disney Lorcana, including new products, competitive events and Organized Play activations.

August will see the launch of a new stand-alone product called Disney Lorcana TCG Gateway, a title designed to ease new players into the game and the wider TCG space. This beginner’s introduction to Disney Lorcana includes: two 30-card basic Disney Lorcana TCG decks, a two-player game board with character standees, rules and player’s guides. When players have played through all of Gateway, they will have built two standard Disney Lorcana TCG decks they can take and play with friends.

Ravensburger will also launch an official competitive circuit in North America and Europe in May called the Disney Lorcana Challenge. The events will begin at a regional level where players can compete to qualify for North American and European Championships. Top players will earn invites to the Disney Lorcana World Championship, set to take place in early 2025.

At the local level, Ravensburger will debut a new type of in-store Organized Play event – Set Championships – from April, after the release of the Into the Inklands set. Select Disney Lorcana TCG Organized Play–approved locations can host an Into the Inklands Championship. This will include a unique Enchanted Stitch – Rock Star Promo card that is only available as a prize at the Into the Inklands Championships.

The top two players at the event can also win a playmat featuring the new Stitch – Rock Star artwork. Details for how retailers can host an Into the Inklands Championship will come in late February 2024.

“Disney Lorcana TCG has struck a chord with players, collectors and fans around the world and we’re so grateful for the support,” said Filip Francke, Global Head of Games at Ravensburger.

“It has proven to be a fantastic entry point for first-time TCG players, and we will continue to do everything in our power to make the product available at MSRP pricing. As we move into 2024, we will continue to support our growing and diverse community through new discoveries for collectors, organised play and competitive events for players and new products that help beginning fans take their first steps into trading card games.

“We’re only just getting started, but consumer feedback and industry data supports our belief that this game will be around for a very long time.”
