Curse of Maraqua for the Battledome TCG releases today!

The set features over 200 brand new pieces of art across over 300 cards, which include three new Paint Brush Colours (Maraquan, Pirate, and Maractite), a new rarity, Maractite Rare, that uses special Maractite themed foiling for the card names, and some amazing alternate art variants!

This set also introduces a new Petpet species!  
Say hello to Floosh!

This set also introduces the first serialized variant card. There are only two numbered copies of The Two Ring available. Will you be lucky enough to find one? (The Rare (left) and Maractite Rare (right) versions are widely available.)

About one in eight packs includes a Grundo Warehouse card that includes a code to redeem for one of ten exclusive virtual items (including a Floosh Petpet and some really cool wearables!) (Note that the Grundo Warehouse card that says it awards “Essence of Captain Scarblade” is incorrect (items were changed after cards went to print) it instead awards Black Pawkeet Anchor Background.)

The Fishing Vortex Starter Deck is also available which is a great way to learn to play the game. Each Fishing Vortex Starter Deck comes with a code for an exclusive onsite Avatar!

Following Defenders of Neopia being released on e-Pack in March, today the 25th Anniversary expansion has launched.

Upper Deck e-Pack allows you to purchase virtual packs of trading cards, which you can open and trade virtually with friends across the world. Some cards can then be redeemed (at additional cost for shipping and handling) to have physical versions mailed to you. Some of these cards can only be obtained by earning an achievement within e-Pack for collecting specific or a certain number of cards (sometimes physical, sometimes virtual only) and redeeming them. (redemption can only happen once. Once a virtual card has been redeemed it stays in your collection and can still be traded, but it is marked so that it can not be used towards another achievement or to obtain another physical copy.)

Each pack contains 5 cards (3 Common/Anniversary Rare/Grundo Warehouse/Celebration Common/Logo Common, 1 Rare/Celebration Rare/Logo Rare, 1 Rare/Celebration Rare/Logo Rare). Collect 100 Common Cards, 132 Rare Cards, 26 Anniversary Rare Cards, and 10 Virtual Code Cards.

All common and rare cards are digital only and can not be redeemed for physical cards. HOWEVER, if you collect five copies of any of these cards and you can trade them in for a digital e-Pack variant of the card. If you collect five copies of an e-Pack variant, you can trade them for a physical e-Pack exclusive flash foil variant of the card.

The first 189 collectors to redeem complete Grundo Warehouse, Rainbow Pool Celebration Rare - Lab Ray, Map Piece Celebration Rare, Neopet Celebration Common, & Paint Brush Celebration Rare Sets (199 Cards) will receive two printing plates (picked at random.)

It is important to note that since the Upper Deck Weekly Series was launched on e-Pack in 2023, Upper Deck has partnered with a second fulfillment company.  While Weekly Series cards are housed and ship from CoMC, the Defenders of Neopia TCG cards are housed and ship from The Authority, so there will be additional shipping charges involved if redeeming cards across different sets.

The Authority has sent out a press release detailing their services. Read it here.

Update 7/31/2026: Preorders have been extended until August 13th, 2026 8:00PM NST/PDT (11:00PM EDT) Don't miss out!

Update 7/15/2026: Preorders are now live!

Neopets has partnered with Makeship (who made the Lord Kass, Illusen, and Jhudora Plushies) to bring Neopias most fearsome duo to plushie form!

Makeship operates similar to Kickstarter (preorders are taken for a specific time frame and orders are fulfilled only if a minimum quantity is met.) which means that these plushies won't ship until early November, but as long as you order during the campaign, you will get one. No rushing, selling out, or having to deal with scalpers. Makeship ships internationally.

Hannah and Kanrik are available for preorder starting July 15th, 2026 5:00AM NST/PDT (8:00 AM EDT) through August 6th, 2026 5:00AM NST/PDT (8:00AM EDT) August 13th, 2026 8:00PM NST/PDT (11:00PM EDT)

Each plush also will also come with a Rare Item Code for an exclusive in game wearable! (sent via email after the campaign ends.)

Preorder here.
