Chaotic Entertainment is working with Panini America for the relaunch of the Chaotic trading card game (TCG) franchise, marking one of the most anticipated returns in TCG history. The revival will debut with a new lineup of physical trading cards, an organized play program and an online experience backed by Amazon Web Services (AWS) Games.

The initial Chaotic card release is scheduled by Panini for late October in hobby stores, specialty retailer GameStop and EB Games Canada. It will be followed by a major retail release in January 2027. The first starter decks and booster packs will introduce players to the story of the world of Perim with four distinct Creature Tribes, inventive Battlegear, explosive Attacks, immersive Locations and powerful Mugic. Supported via the upscaled High-Definition 79 Chaotic animated episodes.
“We promised the Chaotic community we would come back, and we are delivering something truly special,” says Bryan C. Gannon, chief executive officer, Chaotic Entertainment. “This is beyond a reprint. This is a full reimagining of the Chaotic game play and experience, leveraging and expanding the stunning artwork and streamlining the strategic gameplay.”
