After a year ofDisney LorcanaChallenge events, Ravensburger has announced the venues and dates for both of its regional championships, and next year’s grand final World Championship.
Closing out a year of organised play, the World Championships will see the top players from Europe and North America invited to compete to become the game’s first-ever champion.
As revealed in the most recent Lorecast, the first tournament isn’t too far away now, with the European Regional Championship being held from December 7-9 at Disneyland Paris Resort. The North American Championship is only a month later, running from January 10-12 at the Disneyland Hotel at Disneyland Resort, California.
Both of these mark the end of a year of that began during Into the Inklands with Set championships, before Ravensburger hostedthe first Lorcana Challenges, larger regional events that combined competitive andcasual playand award prizes like promo cards, booster boxes, and exclusive playmats.
There are still three more Lorcana Challenges planned for this year, with the US getting them in Las Vegas and Seattle, while the UK is getting its first in Birmingham as the final leg of the European circuit.
The top players from the Regional Championships will then be extended invitations to the big one. Hosted in Walt Disney World in Florida in March 2025, we still don’t know a whole lot about the World Championship bar its venue. Prizes and exact information on who will qualify have yet to be revealed, but with only six months until it’s due to kick off, Ravensburger will likely be explaining all sooner rather than later.
Set Legality At The Lorcana Challenges
Set legality has been a complicated problem for the Lorcana Challenge. The Challenge held in Toronto, Canada at the end of August was unluckily caught between sets, withShimmering Skiesbeing available for sale, but not playable in decks. Fortunately, for anyone hoping to qualify for the Regional Championships at an upcoming Lorcana Challenge, every set currently playable is legal, up to and including Shimmering Skies.
Which sets will be playable at the World Championship is, of course, not known. We don’t even know the set that will be launching closest to it, as the furthest out we currently know for sure is November’s Azurite Seas, which is set to introduce Big Hero 6 into the game for the first time.
