Invasion of Chaos |
Invasion of Chaos is a Core Booster, which combines the Japanese sets Controller of Chaos and Invader of Darkness.
In the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game (TCG), it was released in English, French, German and Italian. In the Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game (OCG), it was released in Asian-English and Korean. Invasion of Chaos has two English prints, a North American print with set numbers IOC-### and a worldwide print with set numbers IOC-EN###.
As well as being sold in singles, it was included with Invasion of Chaos: Special Edition and Force of the Breaker: Special Edition. The French, German and Italian prints were first available through Force of the Breaker: Special Edition.
In 2007, a worldwide English (IOC-EN) print was included in Force of the Breaker: Special Edition. German, French and Italian IOC was only released in Force of the Breaker Special Edition. As such, there are no 1st Edition IOC-FR, IOC-DE or IOC-IT cards and all were made consistent with cards from the 2007 period. There were boxes made in Italy, France and Germany for this release, separating it from the Dark Crisis release that had no boxes.
In 2010, an Unlimited Edition print of the North American English print was reprinted and released with Legendary Collection. Legendary Collection would continue to have Invasion of Chaos in it through the 2017 Gameboard Edition. There are four different packs or Legendary Collections that can be collected. The 2010 with the red banner, the 2013 with red/white Konami logo and no date, a pack dated 2014 and a pack dated 2017.
The cards in Invasion of Chaos and Ancient Sanctuary were reprinted in the OCG set Expert Edition Volume.2 and its TCG version, Dark Revelation Volume 2.
In December 16, 2011 the set was re-released in South Korea in Korean. The boxes came with a flap that could be exchanged for the Invasion of Chaos promotional cards.
In November 2019, the set was re-released in South Korea in Korean. It was reprinted as with its 12/2011 date on the back of the box - making it very difficult for average collectors to separate from the 2011 release. It was also reprinted in 2020 and 2021. 2019-2021 boxes can be separated from the 2011 release as well as each other by looking at the code at the bottom of the box. The date is the last two numeric digits followed by KRE (Korean).
