Bandai Namco has lifted the lid on the next Digimon game and it is a remake of the PlayStation Vita game Digimon World: Next Order. The game was revitalised with an enhanced edition on Sony’s PlayStation 4 in 2017 and it will now arrive on the Nintendo Switch next February in Japan. The game is being handled by the team at B.B. Studio and will feature additional quality of life features such as the new “Beginner Mode” and “run” functionality. A western release for Digimon World: Next Order hasn’t been announced yet, but hopefully we will hear soon from Bandai Namco. Here’s the details regarding the 2017 PlayStation 4 version which the Nintendo Switch version is be based on:

Coming from Digimon Story Cybersleuth Hacker’s Memory, Next Order was majorly disappointing. Didn’t like it at all
I agree 100%! My Digimon kept getting sick and dying,I done everything I could to keep them alive and nope! RIP.
Man, even Namco doesn’t seem to remember Digimon didn’t start off as an anime. I guess Agumon in smash bros was never a possibility.
Digimon World Next Order was alright but yeah it definitely can’t compare to Digimon Story Cyberslueth.
I played it on PS4 to see what kind of game Digimon World games are about and I liked it. So now it’s coming to Nintendo Switch which I am happy about. I am a Digimon Tamer since I started playing the CCG game earlier this year and enjoy the experience. I might import it but it’s the DLC that I don’t know if it will be compatible with the Japan release. So I will be watching this.
