According to an announcement on the Disney Lorcana social media pages, online sales have ended for the Rise of the Floodborn release of the Disney Lorcana Trading Card Game. Ravensburger says that they were hit with an “extremely large” DDoS (distributed denial of service) attack and that their engineers were unable to mitigate the attack. Here’s the announcement:
Today we at Ravensburger experienced an extremely large DDoS (distributed denial of service) attack which severely disrupted the launch of Disney Lorcana: Rise of the Floodborn. Our team has worked extremely hard to solve this problem over the course of the day, but unfortunately that has not been possible. As of now we are officially ending our website sales of Disney Lorcana: Rise of the Floodborn. While we are not able to offer more specific details at this time, we want to apologize to consumers who had a negative experience during our launch today – we truly appreciate your support and are committed to improving your experience of future launches.
Rise of the Floodborn was the second release in the Disney Lorcana release schedule. Trading cards will still be sold in stores, based on availability.
