Disney Lorcana's Ninth Set, Fabled, Launches September 2025 with Goofy Movie Theme and Epic Cards

Disney Lorcana has officially unveiled a wave of exciting updates and reveals that are set to shape the future of the beloved trading card game. Among the most anticipated announcements is the release of the ninth set, Fabled, scheduled for September 5, 2025. This set promises groundbreaking additions, including the first-ever Iconic and Epic cards, along with the long-awaited integration of characters from A Goofy Movie. Let’s dive into all the latest details shaping the next chapter of Disney Lorcana.

Fabled: A New Era of Play with Iconic Cards and Rotating Formats

With its pre-release beginning August 29 and wide launch on September 5, 2025, Fabled marks a pivotal evolution in the game. One of its most significant features is the introduction of Iconic Cards, the rarest type ever added to Lorcana. Only two will appear per set moving forward, starting with stunning carousel-themed versions of Mickey and Minnie Mouse—truly collectible centerpieces for any deck.

Alongside these ultra-rare cards come Epic Cards, which fall between Legendary and Enchanted in rarity. These feature unique artwork and foil treatments, offering players more opportunities to acquire standout cards such as the new Elsa (Snow Queen) variant.

Another major change introduced in Fabled is the implementation of a rotating card system for competitive play. The top-tier format, known as Core Constructed, will no longer allow cards from the first four sets. However, older cards will still be playable in the new Infinity Constructed format, ensuring legacy decks remain viable. Additionally, select reprints—like Winnie the Pooh (Hunny Wizard)—will return in Fabled, some even featuring new Enchanted versions.

Ryan Miller, Brand Manager and Co-Designer of Disney Lorcana TCG at Ravensburger, explained the reasoning behind the rotation:

“To keep the competitive game thriving, rotating out older cards encourages fresh strategies and new deck designs. But because we know there are cards in those early sets that are important to many fans’ deck-building strategies—and not everyone got the cards they wanted the first year—we’re reprinting some from those first sets in Fabled, including Enchanted versions of fan favorites.”

New Collection Starter Set – Perfect for Beginners

For newcomers or collectors looking to dive into Fabled, Disney Lorcana has launched a brand-new Collection Starter Set. This beginner-friendly bundle includes:

• Four Fabled booster packs
• A Tinker Bell (Giant Fairy) "Glimmer Foil" Promo Card
• A card portfolio featuring Mickey Mouse (Brave Little Tailor)
• An exclusive collector's guide

It’s an ideal way to start building your collection while enjoying exclusive rewards.

Reign of Jafar: Aladdin Returns & a New Co-Op Experience

Set to debut in pre-release on May 30 and full release on June 6, 2025, Reign of Jafar continues the narrative arc centered around the iconic Disney villain. With the Hexwell Crown now in his possession, Jafar has twisted Archazia’s Island into a realm of traps and illusions.

The official description reads:

“Jafar now possesses the Hexwell Crown and, with it, he has corrupted Archazia’s Island to his wicked will. Traps and illusions abound in Reign of Jafar, and glimmers like Jasmine – Steady Strategist and Rapunzel – High Climber will need to band together to steal back the crown and defeat the evil vizier.”

This set introduces several notable characters, including:

• Bambi (Prince of the Forest)
• Flower (Shy Skunk)
• Thumper (Young Bunny)
• Jafar (High Sultan of Lorcana)
• Magic Carpet (Phantom Rug)
• Aladdin (Vigilant Guard)

Additionally, fans can look forward to Illumineers' Quest: Palace Heist, a new co-op experience-in-a-box designed for four players to team up and face off against Jafar and his minions.

Looking Ahead: Whispers in the Well and Darkwing Duck Join the Lore

The next set after Fabled is confirmed to be titled Whispers in the Well, arriving in Q4 2025. While details remain scarce, concept art teased appearances by Mickey, Ariel, and hints toward the inclusion of Disney Gargoyles. A mysterious new type of Glimmer also makes its debut, adding intrigue to future gameplay.

Further down the line, longtime fans received thrilling news: Darkwing Duck is officially joining the Lorcana universe in 2026.

Disney Lorcana World Championship – The Ultimate Competitive Stage

Mark your calendars for June 28–29, 2025, when the inaugural Disney Lorcana World Championship takes place at Walt Disney World. Players from across the globe will compete for the prestigious title of the first-ever Disney Lorcana TCG World Champion.

Spectators can follow the action live via Twitch.TV/DisneyLorcana, where expert casters like Rebekah (RebekahQuests), Baker (LorcanaVillain), Liam (The Illumiteers), Brandon (Bsquared24), and JD (JDZ Quest) will provide commentary throughout the event.
