Ravensburger has officially announced that the next set for Disney Lorcana will be Into the Inklands! This set will see the debut of beloved Disney properties such as DuckTales and TailSpin and will also feature an all-new card type: locations!
In the official press release, Ravensburger explains the theme behind Into the Inklands.
The Disney Lorcana TCG set Into the Inklands continues the story of the Illumineers who were mysteriously transported to the realm of Lorcana (The First Chapter). After accidentally unleashing a flood of mixed ink (Rise of the Floodborn) that scattered precious lore throughout the realm, Illumineers are now tasked with finding the lore and returning it to the Hall of Lorcana. However, their quest may be more treacherous than they realize, as an ominous shadow storm has been spotted gathering at the edges of Lorcana, adding urgency and mystery to the path ahead.
“With each new release, enthusiasm and excitement for the Disney Lorcana TCG grows in magnitude,” said Filip Francke, Global Head of Games at Ravensburger. “Watching this community consistently grow and become more diverse tells us that we are getting it just right with Disney fans who are completely charmed by the art and stories, TCG die-hards who appreciate the strategic gameplay, and even new players who have tried their very first TCG and now play every weekend.”
New Card Type: Locations
Ravensburger also expanded on how location cards will work and also revealed the first location card: Forbidden Mountain - Maleficent's Castle
For the first time since the game’s launch, players or “Illumineers” will be able to have their character glimmers visit locations from popular Disney stories, such as Motonui from Disney’s Moana or the Jolly Roger from Disney’s Peter Pan. Locations are a new card type that opens up new strategies – some give bonuses when characters visit them, while others provide benefits just by being in play. These new location cards will be included among more than 200 totally new cards when Into the Inklands launches. This new set also introduces additional narrative across cards as stories unfold through quotes and descriptive text (flavor text), allowing players to discover even more links between cards.
It looks like locations have Willpower and a Lore value, in addition to the Ink cost required to play them. There is also a new value on the card, but at the moment, we don't know what it is. Possibly a number of how many characters can be at the location?
Three New Cards
Ravensburger also unveiled three new cards today with the Into the Inklands set announcement.
We can see that some of these cards interact with the new Locations but it is still unknown exactly how characters move in or out of locations.
