Digimon Con Teases New Digital Card Game

• Digimon Con 2025 has teased a new TCG announcement for fans.
• Strong hints suggest a mobile-related project is in development.
• Could this be a potential competitor to Pokémon TCG Pocket?

For fans of the long-running Digimon franchise, the upcoming Digimon Con 2025 promises to be a landmark event. The convention will feature numerous announcements and updates about future projects, but one particular teaser has captured attention—featuring a puzzled Renamon and a mobile phone.

The natural assumption is that this could signal a digital version of the Digimon TCG. While a tutorial app already exists on iOS and Android (as with many of Bandai Namco's physical card games), the success of Pokémon TCG Pocket shows this direction is far from unprecedented.

That said, it's wise to temper expectations slightly. The teaser doesn't confirm whether mobile refers to the platform for this new project or simply a way to watch the upcoming livestream later this week.

While Digimon maintains a dedicated following, it's fair to say the franchise has been overshadowed by Pokémon's global reach. Though the late '90s and 2000s saw some rivalry between the two, Pokémon ultimately claimed the pop culture throne—making Digimon the connoisseur's choice for nostalgic anime enthusiasts.

A digital TCG wouldn't be an automatic success for Digimon as it is for Pokémon, but it's not without merit. The Digimon TCG still enjoys solid popularity, and improving accessibility could attract a broader player base. We'll have to tune into the Digimon Con livestream later this month to find out more.
