Palworld "Eternal Ascent" in Australia: TD03, TD04 and the Honest Preorder Guide
The second wave of Palworld TCG trial decks, "Eternal Ascent" (TD03 Red·Green and TD04 Blue·Purple), releases on 18 December 2026. Here is what Bushiroad has published, which Australian stores have preorders open right now, checked and dated store by store, and exactly where our own preorders stand, including why ours are not open yet.
Last verified · 30 August 2026
Deck facts come from Bushiroad's official TD03 and TD04 product pages, cited below and checked 30 August 2026. Availability comes from each store's own public site search, and every cell shows the exact moment it was checked. Our own store is held to the same standard. Stock and preorder states move fast: always confirm on the retailer's page before buying.
The short version
- Eternal Ascent releases 18 December 2026: two trial decks, TD03 "Red·Green" and TD04 "Blue·Purple", first announced 7 August 2026 and revealed in full on 19 August 2026, when official English preorders opened. The date comes from the official Bushiroad product pages, checked 30 August 2026.
- Australian preorders have started opening. At our 30 August 2026 check, one tracked AU store has open preorders; the dated table below has every store and the exact moment each was checked.
- Our own preorders are not open yet. We open preorders only on stock we have ordered in our own name, and we open part of an order rather than all of it until the distributor's quantities are final. Our Eternal Ascent order is placed, but our distributor has not confirmed quantities or a shipping date, so nothing is buyable here today. The notify-me button on each deck page emails you when preorders open.

What Eternal Ascent is
Eternal Ascent is the second pair of trial decks for the Palworld OFFICIAL CARD GAME, following the launch decks TD01 and TD02. A trial deck is the ready-to-play starting point: one box is a complete deck for one player, and two people can play with one deck each. Bushiroad's official product pages, checked 30 August 2026, publish these contents for each deck:
- Release date: 18 December 2026
- 60-card set: a 50-card Main Deck and a 10-card Soul Deck
- Paper playmat and play guide, a life counter, and a Material & Ingredient counter
- One parallel-rarity card per deck: a Trial Deck Super Rare (TSR) or Trial Deck Super Parallel (TSP), replacing the standard print of one main-deck card
- All originally drawn illustrations, per Bushiroad
- The pages note that designs and specifications are subject to change
One difference from the launch decks, worth knowing before you buy anywhere: TD01 and TD02 each came with one extra booster pack of random cards. The published contents for TD03 and TD04 list no booster pack, so what you get is the list above, nothing more, unless Bushiroad adds to it before release.

Is there a new booster set with this wave?
No booster set rides the December wave: Eternal Ascent is a trial-deck release. The next booster set after BP02 "Legends Awaken" (30 October 2026) is BP03, which Bushiroad announced on 7 August 2026 for 29 January 2027; as at 30 August 2026, BP03 has no product page or published details yet. The dated release list lives on our hub calendar.

The Christmas question, answered honestly
18 December 2026 is the Friday one week before Christmas. If release day holds and stock lands on time, decks head out tracked from our shelf in New South Wales as soon as they land, which makes delivery by 25 December possible for much of Australia and promised for none of it. We would rather say that now than surprise you in December: buying Eternal Ascent as a Christmas present is an it-should-make-it plan, not a guarantee, and nobody selling preorders can honestly tell you otherwise.

Where to preorder in Australia right now: the honest table
How this table works: same rules as our hub table. Every Australian store we track, competitors included, alphabetical, checked through each store's own public site search; our row is held to the same standard. Prices in AUD as displayed by the store, GST inclusive, shipping excluded. No affiliate links, no paid placements. A cell is a claim about its stamped moment only: always confirm on the retailer's page. Stores outside this list may open preorders at any time.

Where our own preorders stand, said plainly
Not open yet, and here is the reason rather than a marketing line: we open preorders only on stock we have ordered in our own name, and we open part of an order rather than all of it until the distributor's quantities are final. Our Eternal Ascent order is placed, but our distributor has not confirmed quantities or a shipping date, so there is nothing here we could describe to you honestly enough to sell.
When it does: the notify-me button on each deck page emails you the moment preorders open. Both deck pages are live now with the full official contents, our preorder terms and the Christmas timing said honestly.
