Digimon World: Next Order Set for US Release
Bandai Namco Games officially announced this week that Digimon World: Next Order is getting a US release. The game will be available later next year in North America for PlayStation 4. The game will be available for digital and boxed-retail versions.
Speaking on the news, Bandai Namco’s Jason Enos stated: “The Digimon franchise is enjoying a resurgence in popularity and we’re excited to deliver a new Digimon adventure to fans; fueling the flames of their enthusiasm. With Digimon World: Next Order we’re taking the concept of raising and nurturing Digimon to a new level. Only the best and most diligent Digimon Tamers will be able to save the Digital World from its eminent destruction.”
In Digimon World: Next Order, players have to save the Digital World from the Machinedramons after they are rescued by two Digimon. Here’s an official synopsis for the game:
Digimon World: Next Order begins when players are sucked into the Digital World to discover it is under siege by Machinedramons. Rescued by two Digimon from impending doom, players must forge forward with their Digimon partners and journey through the Digital World to discover the origins of the Machinedramon scourge and find a way back to the real world. Along the way, players will nurture and train their Digimon partners for battle as they progress through the game. Digimon World: Next Order contains over 200 Digimon for players to meet, recruit, and interact with throughout their adventure. Digimon World: Next Order will also give players the choice of playing as either a male or female protagonist and enable players to explore the Digital World with two Digimon partners for the first time in franchise history. The key to finding a way back to the real world and stopping the Digital World from total destruction at the hands of Machinedramons will lie in building strong bonds and providing effective training for each Digimon.
Digimon World: Next Order hits the shelves in 2017 for PlayStation 4.
