Disney Lorcana: Hyperia City Prerelease Guide — What UK Players Need to Know Before 16 October

Disney Lorcana: Hyperia City is almost here. With the prerelease landing at local game stores on 16 October 2026 and the full retail release following a week later on 23 October, UK collectors now have a firm countdown to work with. If you've been waiting to dive into a new Lorcana set from day one, here's your complete guide to what's confirmed, what to buy, and what to expect on the night.

The Dates and How They Work

Lorcana always runs a split launch: local game store (LGS) prerelease first, mass retail second. For Hyperia City, the prerelease begins on 16 October 2026 at participating Ravensburger Play Hub locations — which includes most well-stocked UK game stores — before the wider release on 23 October.

That one-week gap is meaningful. Prerelease events typically give you access to a Prerelease Box exclusive to the event, which usually contains a booster pack selection and promo content not available at retail. If you want to crack Hyperia City packs as early as possible, getting yourself into a prerelease event at your local Play Hub store is the way to do it. Check the Ravensburger store locator now, as spots at popular stores tend to fill up.

What Is Hyperia City?

Hyperia City is Set 14 in the Disney Lorcana lineup, arriving roughly three months after Set 13, Attack of the Vine!, which released on 24 July 2026. Where that set leant into overgrown, natural settings, Hyperia City trades all of that for an urban fantasy metropolis — described officially as a place where "metro meets fantasy," full of city districts, street musicians, and hidden dangers lurking in back alleys and waterways.

The name itself is a nod to Disney history: Hyperion Studio was Walt Disney's original home from 1926 to 1940, the very place where Mickey Mouse was born. That heritage runs through the set's identity.

The main numbered checklist stands at 204 unique cards, though the final collector count will be higher once Epic, Enchanted, and Iconic variants are accounted for — modern Lorcana sets consistently run above their base number once all treatments are revealed.

The Headline: Coco Makes Its Lorcana Debut

The biggest story in Hyperia City is the arrival of Coco — Pixar's 2017 film finally gets its first-ever Disney Lorcana cards. Miguel Rivera, Héctor Rivera, and Pepita all have confirmed cards in the set, and the song card Un Poco Loco has been revealed as a Sing Together 3 action.

Miguel's Street Musician card rewards players for keeping songs in their discard pile, which already points towards a strong song-centric archetype building around the Coco characters. Given the musical theme of the film and the urban, music-driven flavour of Hyperia City as a setting, expect a significant wave of new Song action cards to reshape that corner of the format.

Beyond Coco, a taxi-driving Donald Duck has been spotted in the early reveals, and the rarest card confirmed so far is the Iconic Mickey Mouse - Best in Town. Spoiler season is still running, with the bulk of the 204-card checklist yet to be revealed ahead of the October launch.

Products to Look For

Confirmed products for Hyperia City include:

• Prerelease Box — available at prerelease events on 16 October only
• Booster Packs and Booster Boxes (24 packs per box)
• Illumineer's Trove — the premium bundle that's become a staple of each Lorcana launch
• Two-Player Starter Set — a good entry point if you're bringing a friend into the game
• Two playmat designs featuring set artwork

If you're planning to buy sealed product, it's worth pre-ordering sooner rather than later. Lorcana booster boxes at UK game stores have sold out quickly at recent launches, and Hyperia City — as the start of what looks like a fresh story arc — is likely to generate strong early demand.

Looking Ahead

Hyperia City isn't just another set drop. It marks the beginning of a new chapter in the Lorcana narrative after Attack of the Vine! closed out its storyline, and Ravensburger has already confirmed Set 15 for early 2027. For UK collectors who've been building their collections through the game's first year and a half, this feels like a genuine fresh start — new setting, new characters, and a format that will shift as the full 204-card list comes into view.
