Digimon World: Next Order (Japanese: デジモンワールド -next 0rder-, Hepburn: Dejimon Wārudo Next Order), stylized as Digimon World -next 0rder-, is an upcoming Digimon role-playing video game published by Bandai Namco Entertainment for the PlayStation Vita. It is currently scheduled for a 2016 release in Japan.

Gameplay

The gameplay in Next Order is similar to that of Digimon World, Re:Digitize, and Decode, but with the addition of a second Digimon partner.[2] The player navigates an open world while raising two Digimon simultaneously. Battles take place using an AI battle system, with the Digimon fighting automatically and the player issuing strategic commands.

Story

The game's story centers around two potential main characters: Japanese third-year high school students Takuto (タクト)[3] and Shiki (シキ).[4] Takuto was once a passionate Digimon fan in his youth, even becoming runner-up in a national tournament, but has since become more concerned with adolescent life and wondering about his future. He and Shiki are transported to the Digital World, where they meet their Digimon partners, including Agumon, Gabumon, Biyomon, and Palmon.[3] They are joined on their journey by classmates Kouta Hirose (広瀬コウタ), whose partner is Guilmon,[4] and Himari Ōbuchi (大淵ヒマリ, Ōbuchi Himari), who is partnered with a Salamon she nicknamed "Rikka".[5]

Development

Digimon World: Next Order was first announced in a July 2015 issue of V Jump magazine, along with a tentative release date of 2016 in Japan for the PlayStation Vita.[6] A trailer for the game was later showcased at the 2015 Tokyo Game Show the following September, alongside an English trailer for Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth.[7] The game's promotional materials and character designs were done by Japanese artist Taiki.[4] In early November, Japanese singer Eir Aoi uploaded a promotional video in which she announced she would be working on the game's opening theme "Accentia".[8] Later that month, Bandai Namco Entertainment revealed that Digimon Adventure tri.'s Meicoomon would be available as downloadable content for the game.[9]
