The Digimon Card Game keeps a punishing release cadence — and if you want to know where the franchise's tabletop side stands right now, two sets bracket the moment. Timeless Bonds (BT-26) just hit global shelves, and the next extra booster, Chivalrous XIII (EX-13), is due in a matter of days on October 2.
Timeless Bonds (BT-26) is out now
The 26th main booster of the current card game — the iteration that has been running since the game's reboot around 2020 — officially released on September 4, 2026, after an August 28 pre-release weekend. It is a full-size booster: 108 cards, made up of 40 Commons, 26 Uncommons, 21 Rares, 12 Super Rares, 3 Ultimate Rares, 2 Secret Rares, and 4 Special cards. Each pack is 12 cards and retails around $4.99 USD, with 24 packs to a box.
Confirmed Digimon in the set include Pristimon, Rosemon, and Hyokomon, and the product leans into a time-bending, mythic mood. Preview coverage highlights the Olympos XII "dual" cards and a Chronomon Destroy Mode — a fitting nod for anyone who played the story-driven video game Digimon Story: Time Stranger, which we covered earlier on this site. If you enjoyed that journey through the timeline, the set's imagery should feel familiar.
Chivalrous XIII (EX-13) follows on October 2
If well-known Royal Knights are more your speed, the next extra booster is built entirely around them. Chivalrous XIII (EX-13) is the 13th Extra Booster released worldwide, and its royal theme is right in the name: it gathers the thirteen Royal Knights, the elite holy-knight Digimon that include Omnimon, Magnamon, Dukemon, and LordKnightmon. The official product page even points players toward assembling Omnimon: Merciful Mode from [ADVENTURE] trait cards. Pre-orders are open now ahead of the October 2 launch.
A friendly on-ramp
Don't play the card game yet? The biggest hurdle is often just price, and the hobby has a genuinely low-cost entry point: sealed pre-release and release events at local game stores, where you build a deck from a handful of packs rather than buying singles or a full box. It is a casual, budget-friendly way to see whether the game clicks. For the wider world of Bandai TCGs, our sister hub Card Colosseum covers the hobby's card games beyond the Digital World too.
Between the just-released BT-26 and the Royal Knights arriving October 2, there is no shortage of new Digimon to collect this autumn. Pick your engine, shuffle up, and see what your deck can evolve into.
