The Pokémon Company Officially Unveils Chaos Rising Following Recent Leaks
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
The Pokémon Company has officially announced the Chaos Rising TCG expansion following community leaks, bringing new Mega Evolution cards tied to Pokémon Legends: Z-A.
The Pokémon Company International has officially pulled the curtain back on the next major Trading Card Game expansion, Chaos Rising. Following widespread leaks that made the rounds in February, the publisher confirmed that this will be the third major set dropping in 2026. Preorders are slated to open soon, giving collectors and competitive players alike their first official look at what to expect from the upcoming release.
Chaos Rising leans heavily into the Mega Evolution mechanics tied to Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Promotional material highlights Mega Floette ex causing trouble during the night in Lumiose City, setting a distinct tone for the expansion. Alongside Floette, players can expect to hunt for powerful new cards featuring Mega Greninja ex, Mega Pyroar ex, and Mega Dragalge ex when the set officially hits shelves.
For collectors, expansions like this always bring a mix of excitement and familiar anxiety about availability. Given recent measures by The Pokémon Company to curb rampant scalping in certain regions, securing preorders early will likely be top of mind for communities tracking the release. As streaming creators and card shops gear up for opening streams and tournament season, Chaos Rising is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated drops of the year.
