What’s in the box
Every collection comes with a collection box, a DECK BOX®, a premium half-size neoprene playmat and eight exclusive alternate-art cards.
The deck box and playmat are manufactured by Ultra PRO International. Dimensions for the box are 13.875 inches wide, 3.375 inches high and 6.75 inches deep.
A release date of Jan. 15, 2027, appears on the official shop. Shipping happens in January 2027, and these orders go out separately from any other items in a buyer’s cart. Buyers in the U.S. and most countries worldwide can have it shipped.
The shop does not permit returns or exchanges, and all sales are final.
Second set comes first
Before the collection ships, Fractured Domains, the second Azuki TCG set, will arrive. It is slated for Nov. 20, 2026, across North America, Latin America and Europe.
The anniversary product was first hinted at in Azuki’s TCG roadmap, which extends through the second quarter of 2027. According to the roadmap, the collection would celebrate the characters, artwork and moments that shaped the game’s first year.
Over the next 18 months, Azuki Labs has said it intends to release four more sets. A companion manga is also in development.
Background
Gates Awakened, a 148-card first set, brought Azuki TCG to retail on June 26, 2026. Starter decks cost $12.99, while booster display boxes went for $119.99 and contained 24 packs of 12 cards each.
Four starter decks arrived alongside Gates Awakened, each built around one of the leaders Raizan, Shao, Zero and Bobu. Every 63-card starter deck came with eight foils.
Players construct their decks around a Leader and a Gate. Using IKZ resources, they deploy Entities, Spells and Weapons onto a two-row battlefield divided into the Alley and the Garden. Victory goes to the player who reduces the opposing Leader’s Health to zero.
More than $1 million in sales came in before the game’s presale closed. Azuki said Southern Hobby distributes the game, and local play runs at more than 175 shops.
The card game was first announced by Azuki on X on Feb. 12, 2025, with a 2025 release targeted at that point. People who bought early Alpha Starter Decks got an NFT recording their purchase, which could later be redeemed for physical cards.
Item code AZK1284001 is assigned to the anniversary box.
