Disney Lorcana Sets in Order: The Complete Release Calendar

Disney Lorcana Sets in Order: The Complete Release Calendar

Disney Lorcana, the Ravensburger trading card game, launched with The First Chapter on August 18, 2023, and through summer 2026 it has shipped 13 numbered main sets on a roughly quarterly cadence. The newest set is Attack of the Vine! (Set 13), which hit prerelease July 17, 2026 and wide retail July 24, bringing Monsters Inc. into the game for the first time. This calendar lists every set in order with release dates, explains how the schedule and the eight-tier rarity ladder work, and ends with the grading angle: in Lorcana, centering and foil surface decide the gem cards, and the premium rarities are the ones worth a grading fee.

Every Disney Lorcana Set in Order

The table below covers every numbered main set from The First Chapter through Attack of the Vine!. Dates are the wide retail release; most sets also had a local game store prerelease about a week earlier.

Set 14 has been reported by the community but is not officially confirmed by Ravensburger as of September 2026. Treat any name, theme, or date floating online as unconfirmed until Ravensburger makes an announcement.

How Lorcana's Release Schedule Works

Ravensburger ships four main expansion sets per year, spaced roughly a quarter apart, which is why a new set tends to land in late winter, spring, late summer, and mid-autumn. Layered on top is one standalone Illumineer's Quest product per year, a cooperative campaign box that is separate from the numbered booster sets.

Prerelease versus wide release

Most sets reach players in two waves. Local game stores get a prerelease about a week before the broad retail launch, which is why you will see two dates floating around for the same set. Whispers in the Well had its prerelease on November 7, 2025 and wide release on November 14. Winterspell ran prerelease February 13, 2026 ahead of the February 20 retail date. Wilds Unknown went prerelease May 8 before May 15. Attack of the Vine! followed the same pattern: prerelease July 17, 2026, wide retail July 24. For collectors, the prerelease wave is the first chance to see how a set's print quality is running before you commit to box volume.

Core rotation and the Infinity format

Lorcana has two competitive formats, and they treat the release calendar differently. Core Constructed rotates. Set rotation began in autumn 2025, and the rule is straightforward: each autumn, with the third set of that year, the four oldest sets rotate out of the Core format. Infinity is the eternal, non-rotating format where every card from every set stays legal. The eternal format is named Infinity, not Infinite, which matters when you are searching for legality lists or deck data.

The Rarity Ladder

Lorcana sorts cards into eight rarity tiers. From most common to rarest: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare, Legendary, Epic, Enchanted, and Iconic.

Enchanted: the classic chase

Enchanted cards are alternate-art versions of existing cards with full-bleed illustrations and a distinctive foil treatment, pulling at roughly 1 in 100 packs. That scarcity, combined with the alternate art, is why Enchanteds drive most of the secondary-market value in older sets.

Epic and Iconic: the Fabled additions

Fabled (Set 9, August 29, 2025) added two new tiers above the old ceiling. Epic cards use a rainbow-foil treatment. Iconic is the rarest tier, with only two Iconic cards per set. Iconic pull rates are not officially published; community estimates for case-level odds range widely. Two Iconics per set means the population that exists to grade is tiny, which is exactly the condition that rewards a clean gem copy.

The Newest Set: Attack of the Vine!

Attack of the Vine! (Set 13) released wide July 24, 2026, with prerelease July 17. It is the most expensive opening week Lorcana has had, with both Iconic cards trading in the thousands immediately after release. The set's 207 numbered cards bring Monsters, Inc. into the ink pool for the first time, alongside returning characters from Up and Turning Red.

Two mechanical additions change how deckbuilding works. The Hunny keyword is a multi-ink mechanic on cards like Christopher Robin, letting cards slot into more than one ink identity. The Vineling characteristic appears on several new cards and creates synergies across colors. Both are meaningful Constructed shifts, not just new roster additions.

The Disney Lorcana Attack of the Vine chase cards ranked post covers each of the top 10 with prices and PSA 10 verdicts, anchored by the two Iconic pulls. The Attack of the Vine! set page tracks every scan in the ZeroPop community feed as grades come in.

Wilds Unknown (Set 12): Pixar Debuts and What It Grades

Wilds Unknown released May 15, 2026 (prerelease May 8) and brought Toy Story, Brave, and The Incredibles into Lorcana for the first time. The set's two Iconic cards are Buzz Lightyear and Merida, and its Enchanted cards use the Lore Nouveau art style: a more ornate, illustrated finish than earlier Enchanted treatments.

The ZeroPop community has now graded Wilds Unknown cards, and the top-end market as of September 17, 2026 tells you where the grading ROI sits:

Card	Rarity	Market (Sep 17)	Grade risk
Merida - Formidable Archer	Iconic	$1,844.18	New foil process; surface and centering
Syndrome - Out for Revenge	Enchanted	$112.42	Lore Nouveau foil shows handling fast
Jack-Jack Parr - Incredible Potential	Enchanted	$102.92	Full-bleed; centering is the stopper

The Wilds Unknown chase cards ranked post breaks down which of the top-end pulls actually survive the grade, anchored by that Merida Iconic. The Wilds Unknown set page has the live community scan grid.

Merida at $1,844 raw is the clearest submission case in the set: the PSA 10 / CGC 10 premium on a sub-$2,000 Iconic is enormous relative to the submission fee, so a scan that clears the centering and surface bars should go. Jack-Jack and Syndrome are borderline. At $102 to $112 raw, you need a confident prediction of a 10 to clear the math; a 9 walks out of the grader at $40 to $60 in most comps, which does not cover the fee.

What Comes After Set 13

No Set 14 has been officially announced by Ravensburger as of September 2026. The community has circulated a name and a Coco theme, but those reports are unconfirmed. When Ravensburger announces the next set, it will appear here first.

The 2026 competition calendar is active: the North America Championship ran September 3, 2026, and the Europe Championship concluded September 17. Those competitive events typically drive short-term price spikes on playable cards, separate from the grading market on premium pulls.

What Is Worth Grading in Lorcana

Grading in Lorcana is not like grading a bordered sports card. Most Lorcana cards run full-bleed art with thin borders, and the holo, foil, and alternate-art finishes are where gem-mint copies live or die.

Centering is the biggest gem-stopper

On a full-bleed card with thin borders, centering errors are obvious and unforgiving. A few hundredths of a millimeter of drift shows up immediately against that narrow frame, and it is the single axis that most often keeps a Lorcana card off a 10. Measure the border ratio rather than eyeballing it before you pay a submission fee; the human eye consistently flatters centering on thin-border cards.

Foil surface is the second gate

Standard holo cards reveal print lines and roller marks under angled light. The Epic rainbow-foil treatment refracts hard, surfacing scratches that a matte card would hide. The Lore Nouveau Enchanted finish on Wilds Unknown deserves an extra-careful surface pass: new foil processes have the least track record. Corner whitening shows up sharply on foil stock, so the corner sub-grade often runs lower than the eye expects.

Grade the premium rarities, not the bulk

The cards worth a grading fee are Enchanted, Iconic, and Epic. A 9-versus-10 swing moves real money on those cards because they carry the highest raw prices and the steepest gem premiums. A bulk Rare or Super Rare almost never clears the break-even math once you net out the fee. The is my card worth grading guide walks through the full break-even calculation and shows where the cutoffs are by submission tier.

On services, CGC currently leads Lorcana by graded population, which means CGC slabs are the most common comps. A PSA 10 commands a premium where it exists, but population varies card to card, so check the comps for your specific card before choosing a service. The PSA vs BGS vs CGC breakdown covers how the three majors handle full-bleed foil stock specifically.

Scan every premium pull through ZeroPop before you submit. The four sub-grades (corners, edges, surface, centering) predict where the card lands, and centering and surface are exactly the two axes that decide Lorcana gems.
