Ravensburger and Disney have announced the release of the fifth big Disney Lorcana TCG set, dubbed Shimmer Skies, which is set to launch on August 9th in local game stores, followed by a wider retail release on August 23rd.
Excitingly, after Lorcana first launched in 2023 and then finally arrived on Aussie shores just recently, Shimmering Skies will be the first time a set debuts here in Australia at the same time as other global regions
Shimmering Skies will add exciting new Disney characters to the line-up along with new and evolved game mechanics, as well as adding to the overarching narrative of the game, which Aussie players are yet to see play out across the third and fourth sets. The set will feature characters from Wreck-It Ralph introduced, such as Vanellope von Schweetz and Fix-it Felix Jr, and the new mechanics will similarly draw from an electrified theme.
The set will feature two starter decks, booster packs and a new “Illumineer’s Trove,” and launching at the same time will be a heap of new accessories and the Disney Lorcana Gateway – a new product designed to help players of all ages and skill levels learn to build decks and play the game together. Here’s what’s coming:
