New ‘expandalones’ for 2026 bring fan-favourite characters from Coco, Frozen and Hocus Pocus to the game series
Ravensburger has announced its 2026 plans for the award-winning Villainous board game franchise.
The publisher will release two new expansions to its global Disney Villainous line, which will both be available later this year. One of the new expansions includes characters and stories from a live-action, cult-classic film.
“We can’t wait for Villainous fans to dive into these extra devious new matchups,” said Lysa Penrose, International Product Manager of Family Games at Ravensburger. “Steel yourself, because our next ‘expandalone’ is packed with back-stabbing and betrayal, and what’s more diabolical than that?”
Villainous expansion games in 2026 will include Disney Villainous: Success at Any Cost, which will introduce Ernesto de la Cruz from Disney Pixar’s Coco and Prince Hans from Disney’s Frozen, to the franchise when it debuts in July. Players can face these dashing double-crossers against each other in a two-player match out of the box or combine them with other Disney Villainous games to include up to four players.
Later in the year for Halloween, Ravensburger will add a frightful fan favourite to the Disney Villainous game system. Disney Villainous: Come, We Fly! brings the Sanderson Sisters from Disney’s Hocus Pocus to the game as a playable Villain that can be added to other Disney Villainous products for new gameplay. This marks the franchise’s second live-action playable Villain, interpreting the cult-classic coven through all-new illustrations, unique gameplay mechanics, and of course, Villainous’ signature sculpted movers.
“Last year, when Davy Jones [from Disney’s ‘Pirate of the Caribbean’] joined Villainous, he fittingly unlocked a treasure trove of possible playable Villains from beloved Disney stories,” Lysa added. “When it comes to family-friendly Halloween movies, ‘Hocus Pocus’ is as iconic as it gets, so we knew we wanted to conjure the Sanderson Sisters this fall.”
More details on the game, including character objectives and gameplay, will be revealed ahead of the games’ launches later this year.
