To celebrate the upcoming launch of the Pokémon TCG Scarlet & Violet—Surging Sparks expansion release, the Pokémon Company will be holding a special Stellar Maze event in New York City! For two days, on October 19 and 20, the maze will be open and fans will be able to navigate it and get a sneak peak at new cards.
You can read the description from the press release below:
“In celebration of the upcoming launch of the next expansion in the globally popular Pokémon TCG, Scarlet & Violet—Surging Sparks, the Pokémon Stellar Maze event will offer fans the opportunity to explore a mirrored Stellar crystalline maze inspired by Area Zero of the Paldea region. After emerging from the maze, Trainers will encounter a sneak peek at Pokémon featured in Scarlet & Violet—Surging Sparks, with oversize cards scattered among crystalline formations in an area inspired by the Coastal Biome, first introduced in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero Part 2: The Indigo Disk DLC for the Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet video games. In addition, a variety of photo ops and an interactive card gallery previewing select cards from Scarlet & Violet—Surging Sparks will await Trainers participating in this unique experience.“
Although it will be taking place while the New York Comic Con event is going on, it is not affiliated with the large convention.
