Ravensburger has revealed the addition of Ursula’s Return to its Disney Lorcana Trading Card Game line-up along with details about the game’s new global challenge.
Ursula’s Return, the fourth set of the Disney Lorcana TCG, introduces new Disney characters and evolved game mechanics while also continuing the story told over the first three sets. The Illumineer’s Quest Deep Trouble is a brand-new, cooperative game that will have players facing Ursula in an epic battle for the first time. Both products will be released first at local game stores and Disney Parks on 17th May, followed by mass market retailers and The Disney Store retail locations on 31st May.
In this new set, the ruthless and power-hungry sea witch Ursula — who was freed from the Illuminary in the second set, Rise of the Floodborn — is ready to put her malevolent plans into motion and take over Lorcana with only the players and their trusted glimmers standing in her way. Ursula’s Return will introduce new franchises, beloved characters and new gameplay evolutions and reveal more of the story of Lorcana and the Illumineers summoned there.
While additional details on mechanics and franchises are set to be released in the future, Ravensburger has confirmed the arrival of highly anticipated characters, including Bruno and the rest of the Madrigal family from Disney’s Encanto as well as iconic characters Disney’s Sorcerer Apprentice Mickey Mouse and Disney’s Yen Sid from Fantasia.
The Ursula’s Return set will include two starter decks featuring combinations of Amethyst & Amber or Sapphire & Steel cards (£17.99) and Booster Packs (£4.99). A new Illumineer’s Trove (£49.99) and play accessories, including card sleeves (£8.99). Deck boxes (£5.49) and playmats (£17.99) will also be available. All cards in this set can be used to customise or update existing Disney Lorcana TCG decks or played alongside the previously released sets, The First Chapter, Rise of the Floodborn and Into the Inklands.
The game offers four difficulty levels ranging from easy to extreme, with each level featuring rules variations that make the play experience unique. Endlessly replayable, the game includes everything needed for 1-2 players and can be expanded up to four players with additional decks.
Illumineers across the globe will soon be able to compete in the Disney Lorcana Challenge, a new competitive event circuit for the Disney Lorcana TCG. Launching on 25th May, the Disney Lorcana Challenge offers players the chance to win exclusive prizes, including an extended art Dragon Fire promo card for all participants. Players can also earn other extended art versions of popular cards from previous releases. The top four players at each event will receive serialised, extended art versions of Mickey Mouse – Brave Little Tailor. The Disney Lorcana Challenge launches with events in Atlanta, Georgia, USA and in Lille, France. The circuit will feature side events such as Disney Villainous tournaments, which were featured at Gen Con and PAX Unplugged last year.
