Evaluation
Card-en-Ciel launched on October 23, 2024 and received a steady stream of free feature updates throughout late 2024 and into 2025, adding extra dungeons, new game modes, parallel cards, and other content enhancements.
On February 19, 2026, INTI CREATES released a paid Expansion Pass ($9.99) bundling two DLC packs. The first — themed around Gal Guardians Servants of the Dark — launched the same day. The second — themed around the Blaster Master Zero Series — followed on March 11, 2026 as scheduled. The Expansion Pass announcement explicitly described these two packs as the full contents of the pass.
All four items in the DLC list are marked as released. The Expansion Pass has been fully fulfilled, and no further content, DLC, or development plans have been announced by the developer since March 11, 2026. The last developer communication of any kind was the March 11, 2026 Blaster Master Zero Series launch post. With no outstanding commitments and no announcements of additional content since that date, the game's content appears complete as of March 11, 2026.

About this game
Card-en-Ciel is a JRPG take on roguelike deckbuilders, with a full story, over 300 cards each with unique characters, 50 full vocal songs, and a 6x3 playfield for strategic depth.
Each battle will earn you new allies to add to your deck, powering up to take on the boss and advance the story.
Freely roam around dungeons and battle the enemies you choose.
You'll take control of Neon, a self-professed detective who specializes in crimes in full-dive VR games. When an in-development game is suddenly overrun by countless characters from other games old and new, Neon has to delve into virtual dungeons to stop them.
Each of the over 300 cards you'll collect features a unique character from those games. They come alive with full English and Japanese voice acting, talking with their friends and foes and reacting in battle.
Recruit powerful Muse cards who begin performing when you meet their conditions, activating unique effects to enable your most degenerate combos.
Each Muse sings a different song, created with respect to the era and genre you would expect from their original game, with 50 vocal songs in total.
