This year's Digimon Con was packed with great content! Nobody made a post about this, so here it is.
If you want a written summary, this article has a pretty good one!
Very short bullet point list:
- Digimon World: Time Stranger, the new mainline Digimon title, releasing later this year on Steam, PS5 and Xbox Series. They introduced the setting (Shinjuku and Akihabara in the human world, and the city of Iliad in the digital world), some of the characters (including the two main protagonist and a few other side characters), and some of the Digimon that will make an appearance in the game (over 400, including Patamon, Gomamon and DemiDevimon as the starters, and all members of Olympos XII). They talk about the game from 9:45 to 35:41, or you can watch a condensed trailer here.
- Digimon Alysion, a free-to-play digital card game releasing on iOS and android (date TBA). At the time of writing, it has a reveal trailer and a website, but not much else. Personally, I'm pretty excited for this one! I've owned the cards since they first released but I've never been able to play with them because there are no players in my area. Hopefully the videogame will will help boost the popularity of the physical card game as well.
- There were other announcements, which are not strictly videogame-related: a collab for the new Virtual Pets featuring Digimon and Godzilla to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the big lizard, a new anime series (Digimon Beatbreak), and a cute special, Digimon Adventure -BEYOND- that celebrates the 25th anniversary of the OG series.
Went there, found nothing, and had a hard time coming back up.
2/10 would not recommend.
