The initial launch of the long-awaited Disney trading card game caused shops across the UK to struggle with demand but gamers can rejoice – the firm has announced there will be new starter decks and boosters in time for Christmas
Fans struggling to get their hands on one of this Christmas’ must-have games, Disney Lorcana, have been given a boost with the announcement that an expansion, Rise of the Floodborn, will hit shelves within weeks – bringing a host of new characters and cards to the table.
Disney’s first ever move into the trading card market launched last month and has proved a big hit with collectors and gamers alike, with most of the stock of Disney Lorcana: The First Chapter selling out within days of it hitting shelves in the UK, barring the odd stray starter decks at independent stores as well as online at Ravensburger and GAME.
When the First Chapter launched, shops opened at midnight while fans queued for hours at special launch events in London and Dublin to buy the first sets in scenes that left even bigwigs at games firm Ravensburger, who teamed up with Disney to produce the game, surprised.
Speaking at today’s announcement, Filip Francke, Global Head of Games at Ravensburger said: “The response to the release of the Disney Lorcana TCG has been astounding. The game has only been available for about a month, and fans are already eager for more.
