Disney Lorcana D23 2026: The collection that's already opening the door to Hyperia City
From August 14-16, 2026, Disney Lorcana will have a special presence at D23 in Anaheim with a collector's set of six foil cards, several exclusive promotions, and a presentation on the future of the game. Please note: This is not a new expansion to be distributed widely in stores.
The Release
What's actually coming out next week
The big Lorcana event for the week of August 10th is the 2026 D23 Collection, available during D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event in Anaheim.
Ravensburger has prepared a special box for the event, featuring six extended-art foil cards. One of them is particularly important for collectors: it is the first card from the upcoming Hyperia City set to be publicly revealed and offered.
This release is therefore primarily an event-specific collector's edition. It should not be confused with the launch of a new Lorcana expansion in French stores. The next announced classic expansion is Hyperia City, expected in October 2026.
Note: The purchase conditions announced for this collection apply to the American D23 event. As of now, no general commercialization of the D23 box in French stores has been announced.

Why it's drawing attention
A collection designed for collectors
Six premium cards
The foil treatment and extended art immediately distinguish this box from a classic Lorcana product.
First look at Hyperia City
The collection provides access to the first publicly revealed card from the next Lorcana chapter.
D23 Context
The edition is directly linked to the major Disney event in Anaheim, which gives it a special status in a collection.
Upcoming announcements
Ravensburger will also use D23 to discuss future expansions, events, and next steps for the game.
Next expansion
Hyperia City: Why this first card already matters
The card included in the D23 collection serves as a true gateway to the next major chapter of Disney Lorcana.
Early release: October 16, 2026
Hyperia City is set to arrive first in participating specialty stores starting October 16.
General release: October 23, 2026
The wider launch is announced one week later, on October 23, 2026.
A very early revelation
D23 thus offers collectors a first tangible object related to Hyperia City approximately two months before its launch.
Not needed for play
The D23 collection is a collector's product. It is not necessary to discover Lorcana or build a deck with normally available cards.
Exclusive Promotions
Lorcana promo cards around D23
Woody – Leader of the Toys
A D23 promotional version of Woody is announced as a gift with purchase, featuring a special foil treatment according to event conditions and available stock.
Sully – The New Boss
This promotional card is associated with the Collection Quest organized during the D23 weekend.
Violet Parr – Learns New Powers
Another promo card is linked to a Collection Quest organized on August 12 at Angel Stadium, just before the official start of D23.
Pins and Gifts
Mickey and Tigger pins are also part of the offers announced by Ravensburger, with purchase thresholds and limited quantities.
Collector's tip: These promotional items have different conditions. A card announced as a gift or quest reward should not be considered automatically included in the D23 box.

And for French fans: see you in September

Who is it for?
Should you try to get the D23 collection?
Promo card collectors
The special format, extended art, and direct link to D23 make it primarily a collector's item.
Fans who follow every set
The first Hyperia City card makes the box interesting for those who like to follow Lorcana's evolution from the first reveals.
Casual players
It is not necessary to own this collection to play. Classic products remain much more accessible for starting or enriching a deck.
Beware of urgency
An event edition can generate a lot of excitement. It's best to check official conditions and not confuse event rarity with purchase necessity.
