Ravensburger has announced it’ll be rolling out Disney Lorcana to ten more regions later this year, ahead a third set confirmed for early 2024.
Alongside Rise of the Floodborn, Lorcana will now be purchasable in most of Europe and North America, albeit in the current English, French, and German languages. Fortunately, the game will be printed in a fourth language with its third set, getting an Italian release in early 2024.

In a press release shared on Twitter by Lorcana TCG SP, a Spanish fan account, Ravensburger confirmed that Lorcana will be launching in Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Czechia, Slovakia, Poland, and Mexico later this year, as part of the reprints of The First Chapter and the launch of Rise of the Floodborn. However, it won’t be launching in Spanish at this time, which is weird considering the expansion into both Spain and Mexico.
Lorcana only launched in ten regions: The US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Germany, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
Despite the game being in the country for upwards of five months by then already, the next language, Italian, will be coming to Lorcana alongside the third set, due for release in early 2024. This is the first time Ravensburger has talked about concrete plans past Rise of the Floodborn’s release in November, further cementing the four-a-year plans it spoke about before the release of The First Chapter.
In an interview with Steve Warner ahead of The First Chapter’s launch, he revealed that he was working on the fifth set, which will launch near the end of 2024. However, product plans can change rapidly, and the success of Lorcana was still unproven at the time, which makes this perhaps the most optimistic sign of Lorcana’s utterly massive launch and continued support from Ravensburger.
We don’t know anything about this third set yet, and likely won’t until at least a few weeks after the launch of Rise of the Floodborn on November 17. While it’s still considered part of the first year of the game, a new calendar year for Lorcana could come with some major shakeups for it, including a more expanded story following the stage-setting the first two sets have undertaken. Hopefully it also has some new answers to the currently dominant Ruby/Amethyst control decks that show no sign of slowing with Floodborn.
More importantly, launching to ten more regions means a lot more cards in circulation, which is good for everybody. We already knew a reprint of The First Chapter was on its way, but the scale of this is much, much larger than anyone could’ve expected. As cards disseminate across Europe the North America, maybe you’ll actually be able

NZXT has teamed up with Bethesda to create limited-edition PC gaming gear with a Starfield theme.
Disney Lorcana, the new collectible card game mixing classic animated films with Magic: The Gathering-style mechanics, has had a rocky launch. Convention mishaps aside, there’s simply not enough product to meet the incredible demand. This week, as the cost of booster pack boxes climbed past 260% of their original price again on at least one online marketplace, publisher Ravensburger said on X that help is on the way.
Following a relatively quiet third quarter, games industry investment and deals are expected to rise steadily over the next 12 months.
Former Skyrim lead designer Bruce Nesmith left Bethesda, and his updated role as senior systems designer, partway through Starfield's development, so he was as surprised as the rest of us when the massive space RPG was released in remarkably good condition.

In an insane twist of fate absolutely no one saw coming one of the most niche but utterly charming DS titles is making its fantastic return to the west at last. This series made its debut on DS where the first two titles managed to see localization but the third entry on 3DS never did. Last year this trilogy of titles launched on the Nintendo Switch and a given that the third entry never saw the light of day originally most fans deigned it unlikely to ever see the light of day again in English. Fortunately all that is no longer the case as we’ve been given an announcement today from Nicalis that this trilogy is not only coming, but planning to launch early next year for Nintendo Switch! Those who have kept up with the franchise know that it’s seen a slew of spin-offs over the years including the previous released Funghi Explosion for Nintendo Switch. This trilogy will include all the side games on DS featuring Funghi in addition to slews of concept art, comics and more fun little bonuses for players to check out. The biggest reveal by far is simply that the third entry will be available in English for the very first time so those who have been in love with the series since the DS era will finally be able to see how this story concluded.

Video game concerts are some of my favourite things in the world. Final Fantasy’s Distant Worlds, the NieR:Orchestra concerts, the Sonic Symphony - whatever particular series is your personal earworm, hearing music you’ve spent dozens or hours of hours listening to performed by a live orchestra can be incredibly moving and transformative. For those who feel that kind of connection with Stardew Valley, the engrossing farming-slash-romance-slash-dungeon-crawling sim is taking its OST on the road next year.
Dead Island 2 was one of those games that most of us thought would be left in development hell. The game was first revealed during E3 2014, where we would go through a new zombie FPS, this time developed under Yager Development after Techland opted to work on Dying Light after they finished Dead Island. However, as you all know, the game swapped development studios and was consistently delayed. It wouldn’t be until earlier this year that the game finished development and was released into the marketplace.
It’s official — you’ll soon be able to experience the music of Stardew Valley in live orchestral form, as a real-life concert tour is set to kick off next year across the globe.
