Year 4 of Disney Lorcana is shaping up to be absolutely wild and we mean that literally. Pixar has finally crashed the party, a mysterious vine is threatening to swallow the entire Realm of Lorcana whole, and somewhere in all of this, Winnie the Pooh is wearing a wizard hat.

It’s a lot. In the best possible way. Here’s everything you need to know about what’s coming, when it’s dropping, and why your wallet should probably start bracing itself now. Here’s a full rundown of every upcoming set from Disney Lorcana and major product on the horizon.
Set 12: Wilds Unknown
Prerelease: May 8, 2026 | Wide Release: May 15, 2026
Okay, so. Pixar is finally here. After three years of classic Disney, Wilds Unknown throws open the doors to Toy Story, The Incredibles, and Brave, and honestly? It was worth the wait. Woody’s using an aux cable as a lasso, Buzz Lightyear has reinvented himself as a Jungle Ranger, and Princess Merida is out here being a Formidable Archer, which, fair enough.
The set packs 204 cards and sends everyone deep into jungles, deserts, and mountain terrain as the Lorcana storyline pushes further into uncharted territory. One of the coolest new additions is a cycle of twelve “Traveler” cards, two per ink color, built specifically for players who like to quest aggressively. They get bonus effects when you quest with them after already playing another character that turn, so there’s real deckbuilding juice to squeeze here. Plus you’ll find fan favorites from Encanto (yes, Luisa is back and Confident Climber-ing her way through), Pocahontas, and a suitably villainous Maleficent listed as an “Imperious Traveler,” because of course she is.
New products are also debuting with this set, and they’re genuinely exciting. The Prerelease Box is Lorcana’s take on something Magic players have had for years, a special box for prerelease events only, packed with six booster packs, four themed dice, a biome postcard, and one of six random Traveler promo cards. It’s a really fun way to experience a new set drop at your local game store. The 2-Player Starter Set is also new, replacing the old solo starter decks with something you can crack open with a friend right out of the box. The two prebuilt decks cover Amber & Emerald and Amethyst & Ruby, and yes, one is all Toy Story and the other is full Incredibles, which is exactly as fun as it sounds.
Heads up for competitive players: Wilds Unknown is the last set of Year 3’s Core Constructed format. Rotation is coming with the next set, so if you’ve been sleeping on some Year 3 staples, now’s the time.
Set 13: Attack of the Vine!
Prerelease: July 17, 2026 | Wide Release: July 24, 2026
The tagline is “100% Organic Panic,” and we are fully on board.
Attack of the Vine! is Lorcana’s big summer set, and it goes hard. The key art is basically a Pixar crossover event: Boo, Mike Wazowski, and Sulley are front and center doing their best to deal with a massive out-of-control vine, while Carl Fredricksen’s house from Up floats serenely in the background (balloons and all) and the Spirit of Adventure airship looms overhead. Somewhere off to the right there might be a tower from Tangled. The whole thing looks like the most chaotic babysitting job in cinematic history. Turning Red is also joining this set, so Meilin fans — your time has come.
The story connects directly back to Winterspell: Elsa tried to freeze the creeping vine and it didn’t work, so now it’s everyone else’s problem. The Monsters, Inc. crew is stepping up to help, which is both heroic and very on-brand for Sulley. The set’s promotional art goes full comic book , bold lettering, intense colors, pure summer blockbuster energy.
On the rotation front, this is where Year 2 officially clocks out. Shimmering Skies, Azurite Sea, Archazia’s Island, and Reign of Jafar all rotate out of Core Constructed when Attack of the Vine! drops. They’re still playable in other formats, and any cards from those sets that got reprinted in newer sets stay legal as long as their reprint is still in rotation. The usual product lineup is back too: booster packs, a booster box, an Illumineer’s Trove, and a Prerelease Box.
Set 14: Hyperia City (TBD — Q4 2026)
Release Date: TBD
Not much is known yet, but what we’ve got is extremely promising. The setting is a fantastical metropolis called Hyperia City, a clever nod to Walt Disney’s original Hyperion Avenue studio, which is where Mickey Mouse was created and Snow White was made. The featured Pixar property is Coco, which means Miguel is finally coming to Lorcana, and the first preview image of him surrounded by Day of the Dead imagery is absolutely gorgeous. Someone also spotted a Calavera remix of Sid’s shirt from Toy Story tucked into the background art, which is exactly the kind of obsessive detail that makes Lorcana’s art team so fun to follow.
A second 2-Player Starter Set is planned alongside this release too, so even more new players will be able to jump in right at the end of 2026.
Illumineer’s Quest: The Great Hunny Rescue
Release: October 2026
Separately from the main card sets, Ravensburger releases its Illumineer’s Quest games, standalone cooperative board game-style experiences that don’t require any specific card sets to play. The third one is called The Great Hunny Rescue, and it stars Hunny Wizard Pooh, which is the most powerful sentence written in 2026. Piglet, Owl, Rabbit, Eeyore, and Tigger are all along for the ride based on the cover art, and the game has four difficulty levels so you can choose your own level of suffering.
It also apparently wraps up the game’s current story arc, so if you’ve been invested in the whole vine situation in October, start saving!
What’s Even Further Out?
Ravensburger has already teased a 2027 set based on Onward, described as having serious Dungeons & Dragons energy, which for a Pixar film about elves and magic staffs makes complete sense. And with huge chunks of the Pixar catalog still untouched (no Ratatouille, no WALL-E, no Inside Out yet), the game genuinely has years of material to work with.
For now though, between Wilds Unknown, Attack of the Vine!, Hyperia City, and The Great Hunny Rescue, 2026 is more than enough to keep any Illumineer very, very busy.
