Tsuburaya Productions is gearing up to enhance the Ultraman Card Game experience with the launch of two highly anticipated expansions: the Vortex of Crimson and Azure booster pack and the Ultraman: Rising Extra Deck. Set to release on January 24, 2025, these new additions follow the successful debut of the Guardians of the Earth booster pack and promise to elevate gameplay with fresh strategies and dynamic elements.

The Vortex of Crimson and Azure booster pack introduces an impressive 110 new cards, including 30 collectible parallel cards, showcasing a range of Ultraman characters. Players can expect to find cards spanning various rarities, from Common (C) to the newly introduced Extra Parallel (ExP) rarity, which features the highest level of card rarities in the series to date. Inspired by the vibrant themes of red and blue, this booster pack highlights iconic hero pairs such as Gaia and Agul, Rosso and Blu, and Mebius and Hikari, allowing players to enhance their decks and strategies.

Ultraman Arc Galaxy Armor offers unparalleled flexibility by allowing players to switch between various Arc forms based on the evolving game state. This adaptability grants players the freedom to manipulate the battlefield, positioning them to exploit strategic opportunities. With careful setup and timely form changes, players can create decisive advantages, ultimately gaining the upper hand and paving the way to victory.

Ultraman Blu Aqua complements Ultraman Rosso Flame allowing players to exile scene cards from the discard area to provide an additional 1000 BP boost to either Blu or Rosso. This card allows players to strengthen key cards at critical moments, turning the tide of battle and securing victory with well-timed power-ups.

Ultraman Rosso Flame introduces a groundbreaking ability by enabling non-lead players to utilise scene card effects, a feature typically reserved for lead players. When the player assumes the role of lead, they can activate two scene card effects within a single turn, significantly enhancing strategic flexibility and opening the door to powerful, game-shifting plays.

Ultimate Zero takes advantage of the battle opponent’s TYPE to gain additional BP or increase BP grade. By modifying the opponent’s TYPE and enhancing an adjacent Zero card’s BP, players can potentially win three battles simultaneously, creating powerful strategic opportunities.

Ultraman Gaia Supreme Version allows the player to shift the momentum of the battle by returning the top card of this card’s battle opponent to their hand if it is DOUBLE or TRIPLE. This creates unexpected openings, providing an opportunity to seize victory.
In an exciting twist, Tsuburaya has collaborated with renowned Marvel artists, including Matt Frank, John Bellotti Jr., E.J. Su, Nick Roche, Jamie Noguchi, Reilly Brown, and the legendary Bob Eggleton. Each artist brings their unique flair to the Ultraman universe, delivering stunning illustrations that promise to captivate both longtime fans and newcomers alike.

The introduction of the Extra Parallel (ExP) rarity adds a unique layer to the collectible experience, featuring exceptionally rare scene cards that showcase premium illustrations of beloved characters. These cards will be distinguished by their premium finishes, including stamped signatures, making them highly sought after by collectors. Additionally, the coveted Triple Rare (RRR) cards will stand out with intricate details and vibrant colors, further enhancing the gameplay experience.

Alongside the booster pack, the Ultraman: Rising Extra Deck offers players a chance to immerse themselves in the game with characters from the upcoming Netflix film, Ultraman: Rising (2024). This pre-constructed 50-card deck features fan-favorite characters like Ultraman (Ken Sato) and Emi, The Baby Kaiju, allowing players to relive iconic battles and strategize with cinematic flair.

The Triple Rare Ultraman (Ken Sato) introduces a strategic drawback, where the player’s BP grade decreases by 1 if his opponent has a POWER or ARMED type card in play. However, playing an Emi, The Baby Kaiju card will help the player negate this effect and prevent the BP decrease.

The Triple Rare Emi, The Baby Kaiju card allows players to negate the effect text of one of their Ultraman Ken Sato cards for the turn with no cost, making them an intimidating duo to go up against.
Notable cards from the Vortex of Crimson and Azure booster pack include the “From Today We Are Ultraman” Scene Card, which captures a pivotal moment from the series, and the “Spacium Beam Together” Scene Card from the Ultraman: Rising Extra Deck, showcasing a dramatic twist on the iconic Spacium Beam.
Both the Vortex of Crimson and Azure booster pack and the Ultraman: Rising Extra Deck will be available simultaneously across 23 countries and regions, including options in Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. In Singapore, fans can purchase the English-language booster packs for SGD 5.00 each or as a 24-pack box, while the English-language extra deck is priced at SGD 12.99.
Each box purchased will include an exclusive bonus: a highly coveted Triple Rare (RRR) box topper featuring Ultraman (Ken Sato), adding even more value for collectors and players alike.
To further enhance the user experience, Tsuburaya Productions has introduced the Ultraman Digital Collection app and the ULTRA LEAGUE app. The Digital Collection app allows players to scan QR codes from booster packs to collect, view, and trade cards, while the ULTRA LEAGUE app provides essential features for official tournaments, including event registration and match tracking.
With its rich legacy and global appeal, the Ultraman Card Game continues to offer captivating gameplay and storytelling that resonates with fans of all ages.
