As of 16 April 2026, the Wilds Unknown Special Lorecast established Wilds Unknown as the next major release in the game published by Ravensburger under licence from Disney, and the first one to introduce characters from Pixar. The first confirmed Pixar wave comes from Toy Story, Brave, and The Incredibles, while the official roadmap shown around the reveal also set up Attack of the Vine for July 2026, Hyperia City for Q4 2026, and an Onward-themed expansion for early 2027. Official product pages also confirm that Wilds Unknown is a 200+ card set and that its Enchanted cards use a new Art Nouveau-inspired “Lore Nouveau” presentation.
Wilds Unknown Special Lorecast: everything announced
The Special Lorecast was effectively both a set reveal and a roadmap presentation. The key confirmed announcements were the Wilds Unknown theme and release schedule, the first Pixar glimmers, the new two-player starter product, the first dedicated prerelease box system, Lore Nouveau styling for Enchanted cards, the two Iconics for the set, a buy-a-box Dash Parr promo, Set Championship Woody promos and playmat, a first look at Attack of the Vine, confirmation that Hyperia City is the next major set after that, and an early 2027 tease for Onward. Official materials anchor the dates and product line-up, while the Lorecast recap fills in the promo names and the future-set teases shown during the stream.
Disney Lorcana Wilds Unknown release date and pre-release date
The official dates are locked in. Wilds Unknown goes to prerelease on 8 May 2026 in game stores and selected Disney Parks and stores, and it reaches broad retail release on 15 May 2026, one week later. The official product page and press release repeat the same timing, so this is one of the clearest parts of the announcement cycle.
Toy Story cards in Disney Lorcana Wilds Unknown (Woody and Buzz Lightyear)
The headline Toy Story reveals were Woody Jungle Guide and Buzz Lightyear Jungle Ranger. Woody is a five-cost Amber Legendary with Shift 3, card draw when he quests, a free play for a character costing 2 or less, and a global Willpower boost for other Toy characters.
Buzz is a seven-cost Emerald Legendary with Shift 5, a play effect that returns an action card costing 7 or less from the discard, and a second effect that grants a chosen character +1 lore for the turn whenever an action is played. Taken together, those two cards show that Wilds Unknown is not treating Toy Story as a small cameo line; it is building a real Toy package around card flow, action support, and type synergy.
The wider Toy Story spread shown in recap coverage and card tracking includes Woody Leader of the Toys, Jessie Lively Cowgirl, Sid Phillips Toy Surgeon, Pizza Planet Spaceport, Lenny Toy Binoculars, the Iconic song You’ve Got a Friend in Me, and the Magical Places promo Buzz Lightyear On the Way. Pizza Planet is especially notable because it lets Toy characters move there for free and punishes opponents by costing them lore when a character there is challenged, which makes the deck-building direction around Toys much clearer than the two showcase characters alone.
The Incredibles cards in Disney Lorcana Wilds Unknown (new Pixar glimmers)
The Incredibles reveal was broader than just a franchise debut; it was also one of the clearest mechanical showcases in the entire Lorecast. TechRadar’s exclusive preview identified Mr. Incredible Super Strong and Mrs. Incredible Determined Rescuer as Legendaries, Frozone – Super Cool as a Rare, and Mirage – Super Recruiter as a Common, with Levi Dodd explicitly framing the expanded “Super” classification around teamwork and synergy. That same coverage described Frozone as a Rush attacker that can lock down an opposing character if another Super is already in play, and Mirage as a flexible draw piece that rewards playing her alongside a Super or Hero.
The Lorecast materials also showed that The Incredibles line is deeper than the four-card exclusive. Mr. Incredible – Taking Out the Trash and Omnidroid V.9 were presented as a panorama pair, the reveal tracker added names such as Mrs. Incredible –Determined Rescuer, Mr. Incredible Super Strong, Violet Parr Learning New Powers, Dash Parr Lava Runner, and Jack-Jack Parr Incredible Potential, and the official product page confirms Dash as the local game store buy-a-box promo. Mrs. Incredible’s own card text points even more firmly at the Super subtheme, since she gives all of the player’s characters Resist +1 and can ready a chosen Super after another character is banished in a challenge.
Brave cards in Disney Lorcana Wilds Unknown (Merida reveal details)
The Brave spotlight centres on Merida, and the card design is more ambitious than a simple princess debut. Merida – Formidable Archer is a Steel Legendary whose first effect returns Three Arrows from the discard when she is played, and whose second effect adds 2 more damage whenever one of the player’s actions deals damage to an opposing character. That makes her one of the clearest build-around cards revealed so far, because she directly rewards chaining damage actions rather than just challenging with characters.
Merida – Gifted Archer reinforces that direction from another angle. She is an Emerald Rare with Shift 3 and a defensive reaction that can deal 1 damage to a challenging opposing character while she is exerted. Official product imagery for Wilds Unknown also confirms additional Brave-themed pieces beyond the headline cards, including Touch the Sky, Three Arrows, and DunBroch Family Tapestry, showing that Brave is arriving as a genuine mini-suite rather than a one-card cameo.
Monsters, Inc. cards in Disney Lorcana Wilds Unknown (what was shown)
The accurate answer is that no Monsters, Inc. cards were confirmed as part of Wilds Unknown itself. Instead, the Lorecast used the Wilds Unknown presentation to preview the next set, Attack of the Vine, and both the official press release and follow-up coverage place the Monsters, Inc. debut there, not in Wilds Unknown. The three previewed cards repeatedly identified in recap coverage were Boo – Energetic Child, Mike Wazowski – Well-Rounded Entertainer, and Sulley – The New Boss.
This distinction matters for accuracy because the headline around the Lorecast can blur set boundaries. If the question is “what was shown during the Wilds Unknown stream,” then Monsters, Inc. was indeed shown; if the question is “what Monsters, Inc. cards are in Wilds Unknown,” the answer is none of the officially cited material places those cards inside Wilds Unknown itself. They were a forward-looking tease for Attack of the Vine.
Coco cards in Disney Lorcana Wilds Unknown (first reveals and theme)
As with Monsters, Inc., the safest reading is that Coco was revealed during the Wilds Unknown presentation but not as part of Wilds Unknown itself. The official roadmap and the Hyperia City product page place the Coco debut in Hyperia City, scheduled for Q4 2026. Secondary coverage adds that the first art shown features Miguel, which matches the official Hyperia City key art.
The thematic direction for that Coco reveal is already unusually clear. Hyperia City is described officially as a place where “metro meets fantasy,” where music and art animate the streets, while outside reporting from the Lorecast notes that the first artwork centres on Miguel. In other words, the first Coco reveal was less a card spoiler and more a tone-setter for the next major realm after Attack of the Vine.
Onward cards in Disney Lorcana Wilds Unknown (new character reveals)
No specific Onward card names or character cards were publicly confirmed in the cited materials from the Special Lorecast. The official press release only says that early 2027 will bring “quests of yore” to Lorcana, and companion coverage clarifies that an unnamed Q1 2027 set will bring Onward into the game. That means the reveal was a franchise tease, not a card reveal.
That distinction is important for an error-free recap: the Lorecast confirmed Onward is coming, but it did not officially publish card names, card text, deck themes, or a precise release date within the materials cited for this article.
Wilds Unknown setting and story: Hyperia City and the new realm lore
Wilds Unknown itself is framed as the aftermath of Winterspell. The official press release says that after the thawing of the Winterspell, glimmers are cast into far-off regions including the Wilderknot, the Great Empty Sea, and Torchlight Peaks. The official Wilds Unknown product page reinforces that travel-and-survival framing with the “Stick Together” language and explicitly describes a set built around brave glimmers trying to get back home through treacherous terrain.
Lorecast recap materials add another layer by describing story-card text that positions the three domains as distinct biomes and by noting that the vine first seen earlier in the story arc continues to thread through the set’s artwork. Hyperia City then becomes the next big realm reveal on the roadmap: a stylised metropolis in Q4 2026 where music, art, and urban fantasy blend together, but where the official description also warns that something suspicious is happening in the alleys and waterways.
How Wilds Unknown will play and release
The most careful way to explain the mechanics so far is to separate publicly visible card text from fan terminology. In the cited sources, Wilds Unknown is introducing or expanding several clear gameplay pillars: Toy synergy through Woody, Buzz, and Pizza Planet; Super synergy through The Incredibles cards; action-damage chaining through Merida and Three Arrows; and stronger support for Locations through cards like Pizza Planet – Spaceport and Remote Inklands – Desert Ruins. Those are all directly visible in card text and reveal coverage.
Some other elements shown in the Lorecast are structural rather than formal “keywords.” The recap materials identify a twelve-card Traveller cycle whose shared play pattern triggers when those characters quest after another character has been played that turn, and the stream also highlighted panorama-style art presentation through the Mr. Incredible and Omnidroid pair. TechRadar’s reporting further makes clear that “Super” is being used as a teamwork-driven classification focus for the Pixar line, rather than as a single standalone keyword article with complete rules notation.
Wilds Unknown two-player starter set: Toy Story vs The Incredibles deck details
The new two-player starter is one of the biggest product changes around the set. Officially, it contains two ready-to-play 60-card decks, two special cards in each deck, two deck boxes, 13 tokens, two lore trackers, and one rulebook. The product page also states that one deck is built around a team of Supers and heroic glimmers, while the other leans into toys, brave archers, and explorers.
What has not been officially published in the cited materials is a full decklist. For SEO purposes and accuracy, the safest summary is that the starter set is effectively framed as Toy Story vs The Incredibles in marketing, but the official text makes clear both decks also include supporting glimmers from outside those two franchises. Wilds Unknown promotional coverage additionally confirms that Buzz Lightyear – Jungle Ranger and Woody – Jungle Guide were used as the signature character reveals alongside the starter set announcement.
Wilds Unknown prerelease box promos: how the new promo system works
Wilds Unknown is the first Lorcana set to use the new prerelease box approach. The official prerelease article says participating stores on the Ravensburger Play Hub will get dedicated prerelease packs starting with Wilds Unknown, one week before wide release, and that each pack contains six boosters, one of six potential promo cards, a cardboard deck box, four dice with the Lorcana icon, a set-specific item, and a rules sheet. The official Wilds Unknown product page updates that structure for this set specifically as six booster packs, four themed dice, one biome postcard, and one traveller promo card.
The Lorecast recap explains the player-facing change most clearly: the old single-prerelease-promo approach has been replaced by a randomised six-promo system tied to a Traveller cycle. The six named Traveller promos shown in recap coverage were Ariel – Curious Traveler, Maleficent – Imperious Traveler, Cruella De Vil – Judgmental Traveler, Queen of Hearts – Impatient Traveler, Cinderella – Resourceful Traveler, and Pocahontas – Steadfast Traveler. That same recap also identifies one of three exclusive postcards in the Wilds Unknown prerelease box and notes the MSRP at $39.99, which lines up with the official prerelease article.
Wilds Unknown revealed card list: every card shown so far
For accuracy, the reveal total needs separating from the subset of card names explicitly visible in the cited source materials. Lorcana Player’s tracker counted 61 Wilds Unknown cards shown so far on 14 April 2026, but the sources used for this article do not expose a clean official downloadable list of all 61 names in one place. What can be fully verified from the cited tracker, official pages, card pages, and recap coverage is the following publicly visible card pool.
Toy Story and related reveals: Woody – Jungle Guide, Woody – Leader of the Toys, Buzz Lightyear – Jungle Ranger, Jessie – Lively Cowgirl, Sid Phillips – Toy Surgeon, Pizza Planet – Spaceport, Lenny – Toy Binoculars, You’ve Got a Friend in Me, Buzz Lightyear – On the Way, and the alternate-art Woody – Jungle Guide Set Championship promos. These names are spread across the Lorecast recap, the card tracker, the Toy Story card pages, the Wilds Unknown product page, and the promo recap.
The Incredibles and Super-related reveals: Mr. Incredible – Super Strong, Mr. Incredible – Taking Out the Trash, Mrs. Incredible – Determined Rescuer, Frozone – Super Cool, Mirage – Super Recruiter, Omnidroid – V.9, Violet Parr – Learning New Powers, Dash Parr – Lava Runner, and Jack-Jack Parr – Incredible Potential. Between the TechRadar exclusive, the panorama reveal recap, official promotional coverage, and the tracker, these are the clearest Incredibles names confirmed so far.
Brave and other Wilds Unknown reveals visible in cited materials: Merida – Formidable Archer, Merida – Gifted Archer, Three Arrows, Three Arrows – Epic, Touch the Sky, DunBroch Family Tapestry, What Else Can I Do?, Luisa Madrigal – No Pressure, Luisa Madrigal – Confident Climber, Isabela Madrigal – Such a Lovely Voice, Isabela Madrigal – Caring Cultivator, This Growing Pressure, Metamorphosis, Remote Inklands – Desert Ruins, Zipper – Tiny Helper, Will o’ the Wisp – Forest Spirit, Gadget Hackwrench – Resourceful Mechanic, Ariel – Curious Traveler, Maleficent – Imperious Traveler, Cruella De Vil – Judgmental Traveler, Queen of Hearts – Impatient Traveler, Cinderella – Resourceful Traveler, and Pocahontas – Steadfast Traveler.
This is the broadest card-name cluster that can be asserted directly from the official product imagery, the tracker, the Encanto reveal article, the location pages, and the prerelease-promo recap.
Attack of the Vine: what was teased after Wilds Unknown
Attack of the Vine was teased as the next set after Wilds Unknown with a clear release window: prerelease on 17 July 2026 and broad release on 24 July 2026. Official materials brand it with the tagline “100% Organic Panic” and describe a thorny, invasive vine spawning threats ranging from vineling monsters to leafy duplicates of glimmers. The official press release also confirms that Monsters, Inc. characters Boo, Mike Wazowski, and James P. Sullivan will debut there.
The post-Wilds Unknown storyline does not stop at the next set. Official materials tie Attack of the Vine directly into Illumineer’s Quest: The Great Hunny Rescue, a cooperative box planned for October 2026 with an MSRP of $59.99, and say more details will be available at Gen Con 2026. That makes the Lorecast feel less like a one-set reveal and more like the formal launch of a longer 2026 story arc.
How to watch the Wilds Unknown Special Lorecast replay (Twitch VOD)
At the time of writing, the replay is publicly indexed on the official DisneyLorcana channel on Twitch as “Special Lorecast – Wilds Unknown.” The channel’s main page and videos listing both surface the past broadcast, making the official Twitch VOD the primary replay source referenced by public search results.

conclusion
The Wilds Unknown Special Lorecast did three things at once: it formally introduced Pixar to Disney Lorcana through Toy Story, Brave, and The Incredibles; it launched a new product and promo structure around prerelease and the two-player starter; and it mapped out the next chapter of the story through Attack of the Vine, Hyperia City, and the early 2027 Onward tease. The most important accuracy point is that several Pixar properties were shown during the Wilds Unknown reveal cycle but were not all part of Wilds Unknown itself: Monsters, Inc. belongs to Attack of the Vine, Coco belongs to Hyperia City, and Onward remains a future-set teaser.
