Bandai will release Sword Art Online booster packs and starter decks for its Union Arena Card Game for Spring 2025. Sword Art Online originated as a light novel series, which has been adapted into manga (available in the U.S. from Yen Press), anime (streaming on Hulu), and video games. The Union Arena release is tied to the anime.
Union Arena Card Game: Sword Art Online Starter Deck will be released April 25, 2025, and the Union Arena Card Game: Sword Art Online Booster Pack will be released May 2, 2025.
Cards for the set will include exclusive Union Arena illustrations, and feature gameplay that follows the narrative to make it easy to learn for series fans that are not familiar with TCGs.
Starter Decks will include a 50-card deck, 3 Action Point cards, and 1 playsheet.
For the Booster Packs, the rarity scheme for the 100 card types is 35 Common, 35 Uncommon, 18 Rare, 12 Super Rare, and 9 Action Point Card. Alternate art and/or design cards are also included. SR** and SR*** cards include foiling and the signature of the original cast printed on them.
Bandai will release a One Punch Man set for Union Arena in March (see "’One Punch Man’ Powers his Way").
