Do not lump these products together
Fusion World has two products on the horizon that sound close enough to blur together if you are only skimming release calendars. Cross Force FB10 lands first. Story Booster 01 comes later. Both are boosters, but I would not treat them like the same kind of buy.
Cross Force is the one I care about first as a player. It is the next main booster, it has 123 card types, and each pack includes a digital version promotion code. Story Booster 01 has 85 card types and reads more like a focused concept product with a different kind of appeal.
Cross Force FB10 releases June 19, 2026, with prerelease listed for June 12.
Cross Force is the competitive watch
The official Cross Force page lists a June 19 release with prerelease on June 12. That makes it the product players need to track now. Main boosters are where you look for new leaders, new engines, staples, and the kind of card that suddenly makes an older shell worth revisiting.
The digital code in every pack also matters more than people give it credit for. Fusion World has a digital client, and anything that keeps paper and digital players opening the same product helps the game feel more connected. That is good for testing, good for content, and good for people who want reps before locals.

Story Booster is the collector lane, for now
Story Booster 01 is listed for August 21 with 85 card types. With that name and product size, I would expect a tighter theme and a bigger pull for saga fans than a normal main-set grind. That does not mean players can ignore it. Smaller products can still hide cards that matter.
But if I am deciding where to spend early attention, Cross Force comes first. Story Booster becomes a watchlist item once Bandai starts showing card text and we know whether it is mostly nostalgia, mostly reprints, mostly new tech, or some messy mix of all three.
My plan for Fusion World players
If you are actively playing, put Cross Force on the testing calendar and start budgeting for singles after prerelease data shows what is real. I would rather buy cards after results than guess from product copy.
If you collect Dragon Ball, Story Booster is the one I would track for art, theme, and sealed presentation. I am not calling it a must-buy yet, but it has the shape of a product that casual fans understand faster than a normal set code. That can matter.
