A new franchise is joining the fight. Union Arena has officially announced BOOSTER PACK D.Gray-man [UA58BT], the very first D.Gray-man set for the game, releasing on November 27, 2026. For fans of Katsura Hoshino's beloved manga, this one is special straight out of the gate.
Welcome back, Allen Walker
The announced character lineup kicks off with the series' heart and soul: Allen Walker, alongside Yu Kanda, Lenalee Lee, and Lavi. If that's not the whole story — and it rarely is in a debut set — the official notes promise "a wide lineup of fan-favorite characters," which reads as excellent news for anyone hoping to build around the wider Black Order cast. Exact roster details remain to be confirmed as launch approaches.
What we do know sounds great. The set includes a special commemorative illustration drawn by Hoshino herself, plus a written congratulatory message from the creator. On top of that, Hoshino has produced brand-new illustrations created exclusively for this product — meaning cards here won't just be reprints of familiar panels; they'll be fresh, purpose-made art.
A signature card on the way
Headline-worthy for collectors: UA58BT features a foil-stamped signature card by Katsura Hoshino. The specifics — which character, how it's distributed, pull rates — are yet to be announced, so treat that as a promise to watch for rather than a settled detail. Expect confirmation at a later date.
Pack specs and rarities
Here's what the official product page confirms for the box structure:
- 8 cards per pack, 16 packs per box
- Rarities: SR 12 / R 12 / U 28 / C 28 / AP 12 card types
- Parallel rare cards included
That's a healthy spread, and the 12 AP (Action Point) types give deck-builders real room to shape their engines and staples.
Serial-numbered AP card campaign
Keep an eye out for the Serial Numbered AP Card campaign. Limited Action Point cards carrying serial numbers will be packed into boosters at a very low rate and in limited quantities. These are chase cards in the truest sense — the kind that reward the patient and the lucky, and that fans will likely be hunting across launch week.
Don't miss day one
If D.Gray-man has a place in your heart, this is a launch worth marking on the calendar. A debut set, hand-drawn new art, a creator signature card, and genuine chase material all point to UA58BT being one of the more anticipated Union Arena releases of the season. We'll be following the announcement details closely between now and November 27 — watch this space for confirmations.
