BREAKING NEWS: Ravensburger Shuts Down Fan-Made Disney Lorcana TCG Connect Platforms Over IP Concerns

In a move that has sent ripples through the Disney Lorcana community, Ravensburger, in collaboration with Disney, has officially shut down fan-made digital platforms such as Pixelborn and its successor, Pixelborn Connect. These platforms were developed to facilitate online play for the Disney Lorcana Trading Card Game (TCG), offering features like matchmaking, deck testing, and community tournaments.(BlackFlix)

The initial platform, Pixelborn, gained significant traction among players seeking an online avenue to engage with the game. However, in April 2025, its developer, Pavel Kolev, announced the shutdown after receiving a legal notice from Disney’s legal team, citing intellectual property violations. This closure left a void for players without access to local playgroups or game shops. (BlackFlix)

In an attempt to fill this void, Kolev introduced Pixelborn Connect, a web-based platform designed for ranked play via webcam, avoiding the direct use of Disney’s card images. Despite these precautions, Disney representatives advised Kolev not to proceed with the project, leading to its cancellation before launch. (SI)

The shutdowns have sparked discussions within the community about the need for an official digital client for Disney Lorcana. While Ravensburger has not announced any official online platform, the demand for digital play options continues to grow.(BlackFlix, ComicBook.com)

For now, players are encouraged to engage with Disney Lorcana through official channels and physical gameplay, as the community awaits potential developments in the digital space.
