Disney Lorcana gave its next expansion the full reveal yesterday, September 22. Hyperia City is the game's 14th set, and it brings in Pixar's Coco, the Day of the Dead film that had never had cards before. Ravensburger used the same announcement to preview a change that matters far more to collectors than to players: in 2027, Lorcana gets its first serialized cards ever, with only 23 copies of each.
Hyperia City: dates, Coco and a new mechanic
According to the official press release, prereleases start on October 16 at game stores and at select Disney Parks and stores, and the set is available everywhere on October 23. The announcement gives no separate date for Europe, so unless the local distributor says otherwise, expect the same schedule.
The city is split into districts. In one of them, the Marigold District, the cast of Coco puts on street performances; Lorcana Player already lists Miguel and Héctor among the cards. Alongside them come Disney Princesses, Mickey Mouse and characters from Big Hero 6. The set's two Iconic cards, the rarest tier in the game, are Mickey Mouse and Cinderella.
For players, the headline is ink drops: a counter that gives you one ink to spend once, either to play a card from your hand or to power up other cards. On shelves you will find 12-card boosters, booster boxes and the Illumineer's Trove, which Screen Rant lists with eight boosters, damage dice and a lore counter for $49.99 in the US. There is no euro price yet.
Cards with a print run of 23: what 2027 brings
The first set of 2027, Into the Inkdark, launches Collector Boosters: 12-card packs that will be the only place to find Illustrious cards. Each set will have six, each with art by a well-known guest artist and a prominent artist credit, and each one printed in just 23 numbered copies. Per Fantasyland News' write-up of the announcement, these packs will only be sold at Ravensburger Play Hub stores and select Disney Parks and stores.
Spring 2027 brings Cosmic Quest, a space-themed set with Ariel, Stitch and, for the first time, WALL•E and EVE. A third, still-unnamed set closes out 2027.
What it means for collectors
Hyperia City is a standard set and should not be scarce, but Coco is hugely popular in Mexico and across Latin America, so its Enchanted cards look likely to be the set's most wanted in the region. The real shift is serialization. With 23 copies per card, there will not even be one for every store that stocks Collector Boosters, which means the secondary market will set their price from day one. If you want to reach Into the Inkdark knowing exactly what you already own, keep your Lorcana collection up to date.
