Whispers in the Well: A Mysterious New Chapter for Disney Lorcana

Disney Lorcana continues to enchant players and collectors alike with its evolving world of glimmers, magic, and beloved Disney characters. Set 10, Whispers in the Well, is shaping up to be a groundbreaking expansion that not only introduces new gameplay twists but also marks the debut of never-before-seen Disney franchises in the Lorcana universe. Slated for release in Q4 2025, this expansion is already generating buzz with its intriguing tone, fresh characters, and hints of deeper lore.

New Disney Franchises Debut in Lorcana

One of the biggest draws of Whispers in the Well is the introduction of new Disney intellectual properties. Players can look forward to cards and characters from:

1. Gargoyles

The cult classic 90s animated series finally joins Lorcana! Expect dark, gothic artwork and powerful characters like Goliath, Demona, and Hudson, who could introduce new mechanics around defense, transformation, or nighttime themes.

2. The Black Cauldron

This darker, lesser-known Disney film brings high fantasy, dark magic, and unique villains like The Horned King. With spells and artifacts central to its story, it could tie perfectly into the set’s mysterious, magical tone.

3. The Hunchback of Notre Dame?

While not officially confirmed, the appearance of a stone gargoyle in the set’s teaser art has fans speculating that Quasimodo and the cathedral’s enchanted guardians may appear. If true, this would expand the emotional and thematic depth of the Lorcana universe.

Theme & Tone: Darkness, Mystery, and Magic

Set after the climactic events of Reign of Jafar, Whispers in the Well marks a narrative shift. Mickey Mouse and Ariel are depicted investigating a magical well—surrounded by floating scrolls and swirling magical energy, hinting at ancient secrets and perhaps forgotten powers.

Expect a more mysterious and enigmatic tone than previous sets, with a stronger focus on exploration, discovery, and possibly even dangerous magic.

Speculation: What Gameplay Mechanics Could Be Coming?

Although Ravensburger has not revealed the mechanics for Set 10, the visual clues are sparking speculation:

• New Card Types: The glowing scrolls and mysterious well suggest we might see new card types like artifacts, locations, or scrolls—objects that add passive or one-time effects.
  
  
• Guardian or Watchful Mechanic: The presence of a gargoyle could symbolize a new defensive or protector-based ability, shielding glimmers or locations.
  
  
• New Glimmer Forms: As with each Lorcana expansion, we may see unique versions of familiar characters—especially Mickey and Ariel—adapted to fit the set’s theme.
