Disney Lorcana's fourteenth main set, Hyperia City, prereleases at participating local game stores and Disney Parks locations on October 16, 2026, with full nationwide retail release following one week later on October 23. It is the set that finally brings Disney and Pixar's Coco into the game, giving Miguel Rivera, Hector Rivera, Dante, and Ernesto De La Cruz their first-ever Lorcana cards.

Ravensburger has also confirmed the set runs 204 numbered cards, roughly the same scale as recent main sets, with its usual spread of rarer Enchanted and Iconic chase variants layered on top. Five distinct sealed formats will be available at launch, each built for a different kind of buyer.

Knowing exactly what each format contains before preorders open saves a wasted purchase, especially with early market reports already showing Hyperia City product trading above suggested retail. This guide walks through the release calendar, every sealed product on shelves, and how to match a format to your actual goal.

Start with the dates, since prerelease and general release are easy to mix up.

When Hyperia City Actually Releases

Prerelease weekend lands October 16, 2026, and is limited to participating local game stores and select Disney Parks locations running their own in-store events. General retail availability follows on October 23, when booster boxes, boosters, and the rest of the lineup hit shelves everywhere else.

That one-week gap matters for anyone trying to pull Coco's debut cards first. A local game store prerelease kit is typically the earliest legal way to open Hyperia City product, assuming a nearby store is actually running one.

What Prerelease Weekend Actually Looks Like

Local game stores running a prerelease event typically sell a dedicated PreRelease Box, carrying an MSRP around $39.99, bundled with a sealed deck's worth of product and an early look at the set before general release. Store policies on sign-ups and start times vary, so checking with a specific location ahead of October 16 is worth the five minutes it takes.

Disney Parks locations running their own Hyperia City events add a second early-access channel outside the traditional local-game-store network, which is a newer wrinkle in how Ravensburger has been staggering Lorcana launches.

Every Sealed Product You Can Actually Buy

Five formats ship with Hyperia City: single Booster Packs of 12 cards each, 24-pack Booster Boxes, the PreRelease Box, the Illumineer's Trove, and a 2-Player Starter Set built around two ready-made decks. Each one targets a different kind of buyer rather than being a smaller or larger version of the same thing.

  • Booster Pack: 12 cards, the base unit every other format is built from
  • Booster Box: 24 packs, the standard way to chase rares in volume
  • PreRelease Box: early-access product tied to the October 16 weekend
  • Illumineer's Trove: 8 boosters plus reusable storage, dice, and a lore counter
  • 2-Player Starter Set: two complete 60-card decks for new players

Where Canadian Collectors Can Actually Buy In

Local game stores remain the most reliable source for day-one stock, especially for anyone chasing a prerelease allocation. Major Canadian retailers and official Ravensburger channels typically restock booster boxes within the first few weeks, though early listings for Hyperia City were already running well above MSRP before the set even released.

Comparing a few listings against Ravensburger's published suggested retail price before buying is worth the extra minute, particularly for a booster box, since scalping pressure tends to peak in the first month after a popular franchise debut like Coco's.

What's Actually in the Set

Beyond the Coco debut, Hyperia City is set in an urban metropolis Ravensburger describes as where metro meets fantasy, built around music, art, and hidden mysteries. The set also arrives shortly after a Lorcana format rotation following Attack of the Vine, meaning it doubles as one of the first sets built around the newly rotated competitive pool.

That rotation timing is worth knowing even for collectors who care only about Coco, since it's part of why Ravensburger picked this particular release window rather than slotting Hyperia City in earlier.

Budgeting for a Full Hyperia City Run

A single Booster Box is the most efficient way to maximize raw pulls per dollar and gives the best realistic shot at one of the set's two Iconic cards. A EVORETRO Acrylic Display Case for Lorcana Booster Box keeps one sealed if you'd rather display it than open it.

Anyone picking up the 2-Player Starter Set to actually play should plan on a EVORETRO Acrylic Display Case for Lorcana Starter Deck for the box itself, since starter product tends to get shelved loose far more often than booster boxes do.

Common Mistakes Collectors Make

  • Mixing up the October 16 prerelease date with the October 23 general release date
  • Buying a booster box at a marked-up listing price without checking Ravensburger's MSRP first
  • Assuming the Illumineer's Trove is the cheapest way to maximize cards per dollar, when a straight booster box usually wins on that math
  • Expecting Hyperia City to include Collector Boosters, a format Ravensburger has confirmed debuts with Into the Inkdark instead

Getting Your Shelf Ready Before October 16

With a firm release calendar now in hand, the practical work left is just making sure storage is ready before the first boxes show up locally. A display case for a sealed booster box is the easiest piece to have waiting on launch day.

Whichever format ends up under the tree or on the shelf first, having protection sorted ahead of time beats scrambling for it the same week Coco's cards actually arrive.
