Exciting Announcement for Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG Fans: Quarter Century Stampede Launching April 11, 2025

Attention all Duelists and Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG enthusiasts! KONAMI is thrilled to unveil new details about the highly anticipated Quarter Century Stampede product, set to launch on Friday, April 11, 2025. This exciting addition to the Yu-Gi-Oh! universe serves as a direct successor to the popular Quarter Century Bonanza, and it promises to deliver nostalgia, competitive gameplay, and fan-favorite cards.

A Unique Blend of New and Nostalgic Cards

What makes Quarter Century Stampede a must-have for collectors and players alike is its unique blend of tournament-ready cards and beloved reprints. The product will feature a core set of over 80 top-tier tournament-level cards, ensuring that players have access to the best strategies in the game. Additionally, fans can look forward to an extensive nostalgia reprint pool, boasting more than 200 classic cards that have left a significant mark on the history of Yu-Gi-Oh!

One of the most exciting features of Quarter Century Stampede is the inclusion of Quarter Century Secret Rares. In a move that puts the spotlight on the community, KONAMI reached out to Duelists through an online poll to find out which cards players wanted to see represented as rare collectibles. The results were gathered, and some surprising favorites emerged, making this set even more appealing.

Guaranteed Luxury Secret Rares

Each pack of Quarter Century Stampede will guarantee a Luxury Secret Rare, giving players and collectors the thrill of opening a special card with each purchase. This element of surprise, combined with the nostalgia of the reprints, creates an experience that promises to keep fans excited as they seek to complete their collections.

What to Expect: Updated Fact Sheet

To help Duelists prepare for the release, KONAMI has provided an updated fact sheet that outlines the product’s features. The Quarter Century Stampede will include:

• Core Set: Over 80 tournament-level cards.
• Nostalgia Reprints: A pool of 200 reprinted cards, reflecting fan-favorite selections from the online poll.
• Luxury Secret Rares: Guaranteed in every pack to enhance the excitement of gameplay and collection.

Last Call for Quarter Century Secret Rares!

Coming in April, Quarter Century Stampede will be your last chance to get some of your all-time favorite cards as Quarter Century Secret Rares, before this spectacular, shining rarity is gone forever.

This direct successor to Quarter Century Bonanza uses its same set and pack configuration, including a core set of more than 80 tournament-level cards, another massive 200-card nostalgia reprint pool, a guaranteed Luxury Secret Rare per pack, etc.

But this time, the nostalgia pool includes picks from our recent online poll asking Duelists which cards THEY want to see as Quarter Century Secret Rares.

Quarter Century Stampede, along with Alliance Insight (releasing a few weeks later), will be the LAST releases to include Quarter Century Secret Rares. Get ‘em while you can!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION – ADDED DECEMBER 12

Survey results are in and contained quite a few surprises! Thank you, Duelists, for voting! Every card has its fans, and over three thousand different cards had at least one Duelist voting for them to be included. There just isn’t space in the set for everyone, alas.

Of the Top 100 card finalists in the poll, about a third are already in Quarter Century Bonanza, which is available now.

Another third were cards we were already planning to include in Quarter Century Stampede. And even though the poll was for the 200-card nostalgia set, lots of these cards were scheduled for the core set, available in multiple rarities, so we’re going to keep them there in the core set. These include old favorites like Miscellaneousaurus, Xtra HERO Cross Crusader, and Cyber Dragon Infinity, plus lots of newer cards like Mulcharmy Fuwalos, Chamber Dragonmaid, and Salamangreat Raging Phoenix. Other top-voted cards, like the heavily demanded Trap Dustshoot and Metamorphosis, are headed straight to the nostalgia pool as planned.

As for the rest… Petit Moth!? Okay, it’s going in the nostalgia pool! Along with other top finishers like Lovely Labrynth of the Silver Castle and Master Peace, the True Dracoslaying King. All 200 nostalgia pool cards will be included 1 per pack in either Platinum Secret Rare or Quarter Century Secret Rare, just like in Quarter Century Bonanza. We’ll be showing off more cards as we get closer to the set’s release!

The other 4 cards per pack, just like Quarter Century Bonanza, will be from the core set, which this time has some further additions. The primary core set of 80 cards will be available in all rarities (but no duplicate Quarter Century Secret Rares), just like before. However, we’re also adding a bunch of brand-new variant art versions of existing cards, to the core set’s Quarter Century Secret Rare pool.

Join the Celebration of 25 Years of Yu-Gi-Oh!

KONAMI’s dedication to the Yu-Gi-Oh! fanbase shines through in this product, which is designed to celebrate the rich history of the TCG while continuing to innovate for future generations of Duelists. The Quarter Century Stampede not only pays tribute to the game’s legacy but also embraces community input, ensuring that the product resonates with players old and new.

Mark your calendars and get ready to dive into a treasure trove of nostalgia and excitement on April 11, 2025. Whether you’re a competitive player, a casual fan, or a dedicated collector, the Quarter Century Stampede is bound to become a highlight of your Yu-Gi-Oh! journey.
