A new trailer forDigimon World: Next Orderhas popped up this weekend, just a few months ahead of the 2016 title’s port to the Nintendo Switch and PC. The game is expected to arrive on those platforms on February 22 of next year.
The sixth entry in theDigimonWorld series, which is published byBandai Namco, Digimon World: Next Order originally released for the handheld PlayStation Vita way back in March of 2016. But Sony’s handheld never really took off the way its creators had hoped, and although the game was ported to the much more popular and well-distributed PlayStation 4 ten months following its premier of the Vita, the Switch and PC releases that come a full seven years after the game first dropped will be the first time many fans of the Digimon franchise get their hands on it.

The trailer opens up by showing players their choice of main character, as they can make either Takuto or Shiki their controlled DigiDestined, and introduces them to the concept of Machinedramon, Digimon that have become infected by a digital virus and transformed into mechanical versions of themselves. These infected creatures explained to be causing mass chaos in the digital world.
The trailer also shows off a variety of Digimon familiar throughout the games and anime, such as Augumon and Biyomon, displaying them as both partners to the main character or, if they’ve been rescued by the player, residents of the ever-growing home base town of Floatia, which can receive several upgrades throughout the course of the game. The player can two Digimon partners at a time, which one character in the trailer points out is unheard of, and they will gain new powers and abilities if you manage to build their bonds across theirmultiple lifespans, as shown in the trailer.
