The Cardcaptor Sakura franchise is active with a new smartphone game, multiple merchandise collaborations, and a returning pop-up event in mid-2026.
The Cardcaptor Sakura franchise has seen a burst of activity in mid-2026, centered on a new smartphone game and a series of merchandise collaborations. KaraQ released Cardcaptor Sakura: Key of Memories (also called Cardcaptor Sakura: Omoide no Kagi) on June 25, 2026, a free-to-play game where players collect digital miniatures of characters in over 100 outfits and arrange them in room dioramas. The game arrived after the Clear Card sequel manga ended in 2023 and its final volume in 2024, and after the previous mobile game, Clear Card-hen Happiness Memories, shut down in 2020.
Multiple merchandise lines launched around the same time. Bandai Spirits announced the Ichiban Kuji Anime Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card Arc ~Blessed collection~ lottery for early November 2026, with the top prize being a Sakura Kinomoto figure in the Clear Card Arc opening costume. MAYLA released the Cardcaptor Sakura Iconic Blouse in two models, Rocket Beat and Clear, inspired by Sakura's school uniform and costume designs, priced at 15,400 yen each. A collaboration with Sanrio Characters produced seven products including bags and a bottle holder, launching July 1, 2026, at Birthday stores. The Cardcaptor Sakura TaKaRaBaKo pop-up shop returns to Osaka on July 3 and Nagoya on July 15, 2026, with new merchandise and costume displays.
