BANDAI CARD GAMES announced today to fans everywhere the official opening of applications for its closed beta test of DIGIMON ALYSION, the highly anticipated mobile game currently under development for Android and iOS devices. On the heels of last year’s global 25th anniversary celebration of the Digimon anime, Digimon Alysion was initially revealed this past March during the Digimon Con 2025 live stream event and will bring the exhilaration of the DIGIMON CARD GAME to smartphones for the first time. This successful trading card game is based on the Digimon franchise, which started in 1997 with the “Digital Monster (Digimon)” LCD toy. The DIGIMON CARD GAME also uses the various Digimon anime series that started in 1999, the console games like “Digimon Story”, and more for its themes.
Participant applications are being accepted now via the official mobile game website at digimon-alysion.com/en/ and will close on Sunday, August 3, 2025 at 1:59 AM UTC.

What is DIGIMON ALYSION
DIGIMON ALYSION is a mobile game for smartphones based on the widely popular DIGIMON CARD GAME, which is available in four different languages to consumers around the world. The app brings the excitement of the trading card game to both Android and iOS mobile devices—allowing players to build decks with their favorite Digimon and engage in thrilling card battles against others.
While also set in the same world as the “Digimon Liberator” comic and novel, DIGIMON ALYSION will feature not only a new original story but also new characters and Digimon as well, including Digimon that follow all-new, never before seen evolution lines called “digivolution” paths.
■ Why a Closed Beta Test?
A closed beta test with a limited group of participants provides more focused comments and opinions. During the testing, BANDAI CARD GAMES will evaluate the DIGIMON ALYSION game system as well as its server load, while also collecting feedback and impressions from the 10,000 players participating. Their collective input will serve as invaluable information for completing the game’s development, in particular how to further improve the quality of the game in preparation for its official commercial launch.
