Card faces have been revealed on effectively two days — 94.7% of the 38 confirmed entries landed on July 29 and July 31, and nothing has been added in the 41 days since
This article is commentary and analysis by this site. To keep it distinct from official facts, reasoning and speculation are clearly labeled.
We have written a lot of articles that read the cards themselves — stats, costs, effect text, traits, card numbers. What is known can now be counted with real precision.
This article does the opposite. It recounts the confirmed cards by nothing but the date they were revealed.
The shape that comes out is more extreme than we expected.
About this article: the denominator is the 38 entries we have confirmed in official primary sources and registered in our card database. No official source publishes a total count of revealed cards. A “reveal date” is the day we could first confirm that card in an official primary source (the official site, the official X accounts, or official material handed out at Gen Con). The roadmap wording was checked directly on the English official site on September 10, 2026. No speculation, leaks or secondhand reports are included.
1. There are only four reveal dates
Count the reveal dates of all 38 entries and they collapse into four days.
- July 8 (1) — the official teaser site announced the existence of the CP-001 Chakra Card as the Gen Con 2026 participant gift
- July 29 (19) — the information reveal. Twelve illustration cards in the official site’s ARTWORK gallery, plus Chakra Card C-001, Summon Card S-001 and five numbered cards including both Leaders (N-001 and N-012)
- July 31 (17) — the opening day of Gen Con 2026. The demo decks on site yielded twelve numbered cards and five whose numbers could not be read
- August 7 (1) — the Yankee Stadium giveaway announcement added the New York Yankees Ver. of CP-001
2. Two days produced 36 entries — 94.7% of everything known
Look at those four days by volume and two of them dwarf the rest.
36 entries — 94.7% of the total — came out on just two days, and those two days are not even consecutive (July 29 and July 31, with a day in between).
The remaining two are both CP-001, the venue-specific promo slot. Which means every card that will make up the actual card pool arrived on those two days.
Put another way, everything now sitting in our card database is the result of spending more than forty days reading two days’ worth of announcements.
3. The last new card face was July 31
This is the heart of it. The last day a new card face — artwork, stats, effect text — was published was July 31, the opening day of Gen Con.
As of September 10, 2026, that is 41 days ago.
An entry was added on August 7, but that was not a card face. It was the Yankee Stadium variant of CP-001 being announced by name (Chakra Card -New York Yankees™ Ver.-) and number (CP-001) alone. Its card image has never been published, and that did not change when the giveaway terms appeared on September 6.
4. What has happened since August is re-presentation of known cards
It is not that nothing moved in those 41 days. What moved was how already-known cards were shown.
The official English X account has posted short videos of ARTWORK gallery illustration cards filmed as printed physical samples.
- August 4 — Tsunade
- August 12 — Boruto Uzumaki (our coverage)
Both cards had already been confirmed as images on July 29. Something that could only be seen as an image can now be seen as a physical object — but no new card was added.
Everything the official site published in the same window — BCG Fest Orlando, London, and the three European events — is event information. The Japanese official site’s news feed has not been updated since July 29.
5. Only two slots in the entire roadmap say “New info reveals”
So when do cards next increase? Here is only what the official site states.
These are the slots on the English official site’s roadmap, checked September 10, 2026.
- Jul. 30 – Aug. 2New info reveals (Gen Con, done)
- Oct. 8 – 11New info reveals (NYCC)
- Oct. 9 – 11Tutorial Sessions planned
- Oct. 22 – 25Tutorial Sessions planned (two slots)
- Oct. 28 – Nov. 1Tutorial Sessions planned
- Summer 2027Scheduled Release
There is also an “Oct. 2026 – Early 2027” slot reading “Tutorial Sessions planned” (BANDAI CARD GAMES Fest 26-27).
The thing worth noticing: only two slots in the entire timeline are labelled “New info reveals.”
The first is Gen Con (July 30 – August 2), already done — and as counted above, 94.7% of everything known came out by then.
The second is New York Comic Con 2026 (October 8–11). All four other October and November slots read “Tutorial Sessions planned”; none of them is described as a new-information reveal.
July 31 to October 8 is 69 days. No official source says “the next cards arrive at NYCC” — but the only date the publisher has positioned as a new-information reveal is October 8–11. That is the limit of what can be stated as fact on September 10, 2026.
6. How much has been filled in from two days of material
With that in mind, here is where the card database stands.
| Item | Status |
|---|---|
| Entries registered | 38 (32 character-type, 2 Leaders, Chakra C-001, Summon S-001, two CP-001s) |
| Entries with a readable card number | 21 (analysis of the numbering) |
| Highest confirmed number | N-022 (five slots blank between N-001 and N-022) |
| Entries with readable effect text | 24 (analysis of conditional wording) |
| Official card list | Unpublished |
| Official rulebook | Unpublished |
| Product lineup and prices | Unpublished (only the official playmat at US$35) |
| Product pre-orders | Not open |
In other words, the present state of play is “36 cards from two days, counted from every possible angle.” Which also means findings like only one card says “draw” and no card nets you extra cards in hand are all counts over a two-day sample. It is far too early to call anything drawn from a sample that concentrated a tendency of the game.
7. What there is to read while waiting
The useful thing to do during a wait is to finish reading the two days of material already public. Here is what we have organised.
- The list of confirmed keyword notations — each notation with the cards that carry it
- A five-step rule-learning roadmap — built only from what is confirmed
- The improvement roadmap — what can be done before release
- The card database — all 38 entries with individual pages
What is still unknown
- Whether new cards will be revealed at NYCC (the roadmap’s “New info reveals” gives no specifics)
- The total size of the card list, and whether numbering continues past N-022
- The card face of the CP-001 Yankees variant announced on August 7 (neither artwork nor effect text has been published)
- Any information reveal planned for December onward or the first half of 2027 — the roadmap has no slot there, and nothing has been announced about the run-up to the summer 2027 release
- Why the Japanese official site’s news feed has been static since July 29, and what is planned for announcements aimed at Japan
Summary (as of September 10, 2026)
- The 38 card database entries have only four reveal dates. July 29 (19) and July 31 (17) account for 36 entries, or 94.7%
- The last new card face was published on July 31, leaving 41 days at zero up to September 10
- The single August 7 addition was a name and a number only (CP-001 Yankees Ver., card face unpublished). The two official X videos since August were both re-presentations of illustration cards already known from July 29
- Only two slots in the English official site’s roadmap say “New info reveals.” The first, Gen Con, produced the 94.7%; the one that remains is NYCC 2026 (October 8–11)
This is a stock article we update as cards are added. When a fifth reveal date appears, we will record how that 94.7% moves.
