Disney Lorcana Hyperia City Is Out This Week — Your UK Buyer's Guide

Disney Lorcana's fourteenth set, Hyperia City, is almost in your hands. Prerelease events kicked off at participating local game stores on 16 October, and the full retail release lands everywhere — including UK shops — on 23 October 2026. If you missed prerelease weekend or you're weighing up which product to pick up at launch, here's a clear-eyed breakdown of what's available and what's actually new.

What Is Hyperia City?

Hyperia City trades the overgrown wilderness of the previous storyline for a bustling metropolis where, in Ravensburger's own words, "metro meets fantasy". The set contains 204 cards and introduces a number of characters making their Lorcana debut, most notably the cast of Pixar's Coco. Miguel Rivera and Héctor Rivera are both confirmed, and the Marigold District section of the set leans heavily into the themes of family and music that define the film. Alongside the Coco cards, two Iconic-rarity cards headline the set: Mickey Mouse – Best in Town and Cinderella – Unintentional Icon.

The headline mechanical addition is Ink Drops — counters that give you a one-time boost of ink when spent. It's a straightforward concept on paper, but early coverage suggests it opens up some genuinely interesting tempo plays, and it's worth keeping an eye on how it warps the meta in the weeks after launch.

What Products Are Available?

The full product lineup at retail release includes:

• Booster Packs — the standard entry point, sold individually or by the display box (24 packs).
• Booster Display Box — the go-to for collectors who want volume and the best shot at Enchanted and Iconic pulls.
• Illumineer's Trove — Ravensburger's premium box format, containing eight booster packs, six damage dice, and a spin-dial lore counter. It's consistently the most sought-after product at each set launch, and Hyperia City looks to be no different. If you want one, pre-ordering or buying at opening is the safer route — allocations on Lorcana displays have tightened over the past year.
• 2-Player Starter Set — a new addition to the line-up this time around, offered as two decks: Technically Terrific and Madcap Whimsy. A solid choice if you're bringing a friend into the game or building a gift.
• Prerelease Box — available from 16 October at game stores only, so if you picked one up at a local event this weekend, you've already had a head start.

Playmats themed around Snowboarding Stitch and Miguel are also available from the prerelease date onward.

What Should UK Collectors Prioritise?

If you're primarily a collector, the Illumineer's Trove remains the most efficient sealed product per pound, and the chance of pulling Enchanted versions of the Coco debut cards makes it particularly appealing for this set. The Iconic cards — Mickey and Cinderella — are the headline chase cards for competitive players, given how broadly they can slot into existing decks.

For players new to Lorcana or returning after a break, the 2-Player Starter Set is the smartest way back in. It's a complete experience at a lower outlay and should give you a clear sense of whether the Ink Drops mechanic is clicking for you before you invest in boosters.

As always, singles are worth considering if you know exactly which cards your deck needs — waiting a week or two after the full release tends to bring prices down as the market settles.

The Bigger Picture

Hyperia City arrives at a strong moment for Disney Lorcana in the UK. The game has a growing presence at local game stores, and the Coco franchise has genuine mainstream appeal that should help the set reach beyond the existing player base. Whether you're after Enchanted glimmers, competitive staples, or simply a beautiful piece of Disney art on cardboard, there's something in this set worth picking up. Full retail release is 23 October — this Thursday.
