Disney Lorcana has unveiled groundbreaking updates for the trading card game's future, announcing the ninth set, Fabled, launching on September 5, 2025. This expansion introduces the first Iconic and Epic rarity cards alongside the highly anticipated debut of A Goofy Movie characters.

Beyond Fabled, Lorcana shared insights on the eighth set, Reign of Jafar, releasing June 6, debuted a Collector Starter Set, and revealed details about the upcoming Disney Lorcana World Championship. The presentation also teased Darkwing Duck's eventual inclusion.

This information-packed announcement showcases Disney Lorcana's ambitious roadmap – let's examine every exciting detail.

Fabled Introduces New Rarity Tiers, A Goofy Movie Characters, and Competitive Format Changes

Though full details about Fabled remain undisclosed, the previews shared make the August 29 prerelease and September 5 launch particularly compelling.

A Goofy Movie's arrival marks a major expansion milestone, though specific characters remain under wraps. Confirmed breakthroughs include Mickey and Minnie becoming Lorcana's inaugural Iconic rarity cards.

Iconic Cards represent Lorcana's most exclusive tier, with just two appearing per set. The carousel-themed Mickey and Minnie cards will undoubtedly become collectors' most sought-after prizes.

Epic Cards balance between Legendary and higher-tier rarities, featuring distinctive artwork and foil treatments. These include stunning designs like the newly revealed Snow Queen Elsa.

Fabled also initiates Lorcana's first competitive format rotation, with Core Constructed tournaments excluding cards from the game's initial four sets.

Traditionalists needn't worry – Infinity Constructed will accommodate older cards. Additionally, Fabled reprints select fan-favorite cards like Winnie the Pooh (Hunny Wizard) with updated competitiveness.

Ryan Miller, Lorcana's Brand Manager, explains: "Card rotation fosters competitive innovation while maintaining accessibility. That's why Fabled includes reprinted fan favorites – complete with new Enchanted versions!"

For newcomers, the Collection Starter Set provides an ideal entry point, featuring four Fabled boosters, a Giant Fairy Tinker Bell promo, collector's portfolio, and detailed guide.

Reign of Jafar Expands Lorcana's Universe with Aladdin-Themed Cards and Cooperative Play

Launching May 30 for prerelease and June 6 widely, Reign of Jafar continues Lorcana's villain-centric narrative.

The set's storyline follows Jafar's conquest: "Possessing the Hexwell Crown, he's corrupted Archazia's Island. Heroes like Strategist Jasmine and Climber Rapunzel must unite to reclaim it."
