Upcoming UNION ARENA TCG Releases
One of the most unique things about UNION ARENA compared to other popular TCGs is its focus on specific anime per set. This means collectors theoretically can space out their purchases as they wait for the anime they are a fan of. This could potentially help with power creep (assuming the game remains balanced). Assuming things are kept even, perhaps your BLEACH Purple deck you build today could withstand the test of time until the next BLEACH set gets released.
Regardless, let’s take a look at the upcoming UNION ARENA English releases you should be excited about.
Jujutsu Kaisen – November 22, 2024
Jujutsu Kaisen is the next upcoming UNION ARENA set. Like the sets already released, it will becoming with a starter deck and booster box, as well as the very cool storage box/playmat option.

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion – December 13, 2024
Just in time for Christmas, Code Geass will be releasing on December 13, 2024. We don’t have any product images to share yet from this expansion, but certainly will once they are available from Bandai.
Demon Slayer – January 24, 2025
I’m sure this one is going to be a huge hit given Demon Slayer’s overall popularity. We don’t know much about this set yet other than it’s release date of January 24, 2025.
One Punch Man – March 7, 2025
Hopefully February doesn’t prove to be too much of a downer for UNION ARENA fans as there isn’t a single release planned during this time. However, we do get One Punch Man in early March to make up for the gap. Hopefully One Punch Man doesn’t totally break the game – he does beat every body in one punch.
I could see UNION ARENA having a lot of fun making a mechanic out of this gimmicky aspect of the show, and plenty of people will be excited to take Saitama out onto the arena to duel.
Confirmed English sets coming up
Beyond these sets with determined release dates, Bandai has also confirmed several additional sets themed around popular anime.
Fullmetal Alchemist
Black Cover
Sword Art Online
I’m especially excited about Fullmetal Alchemist as that’s one of my absolute favorite anime shows of all time.
Sword Art Online
An additional English set has just been added to the roster of upcoming UA releases, and that is none other than the super popular Sword Art Online.
For more info on this set, check out our recent article on the official announcement.
Japanese sets
Lastly, although these sets haven’t confirmed to be getting English releases, we can infer that it’s likely we will be getting these sets given they are already released in Japan. Let’s take a look at what some of the most popular sets we might have to look forward to getting an English release date could be.
Bleach Thousand Year Blood War Volume Two
Attack on Titan
My Hero Acadamia
Hunter X Hunter Volume 2
Gintama
Yu Yu Hakusho
And more!
Needless to say, there are some very, very exciting things to come in UNION ARENA, and given the quality of the artwork we’ve seen from chase cards and how fun the game is to play, I don’t think this game is likely to dissapoint!
