Digimon World: Next Order details Shoma, adventure, growth, and more
PS Vita game due out on March 17 in Japan.
Bandai Namco has shared new details and screenshots for Digimon World: Next Order, introducing new character Shoma, as well as details on the game’s adventure and growth elements.
Get the details below.
Shoma Tsutsuki (voiced by Nobuhiko Okamoto)
A young man who, while bad at communication, is kind at heart. His love and determination for Digimon is unusually strong. Since he’s not good at talking to people, he often listens to music in his headphones. He’s not very good at moving either.
Digimon World: Next Order offers an even higher level of freedom and adventure than previous Digimon World games. Unknown areas await.
Players can collect materials and ingredients on the field in the Digital World. Materials can be used in the city to further its development, and ingredients can be used when cooking. Unlike the specialty materials your partner Digimon collects, mere rare materials tend to surface easily and the potential amount you can collect differs.
You can also pitch a tent and camp anywhere in the field. If you camp, you can recover your partner Digimon’s health get and organize the materials you collected, as well as cook using the ingredients you collect. The food you cook can increase your partner’s abilities.
Growth
The series’ familiar training element is present in Digimon World: Next Order. Through training, you can strengthen your partner Digimon.
You can invite Digimon from the fields into town, and use the materials you gather to further the development of the town. The town starts off small, but as it develops grows bigger to include areas such as a business district, agricultural district, research district, entertainment district, and more.
Here’s what the town looks like before any developments have been made:
And here’s what it looks like after:
Susanoomon
From Digimon Frontier comes Susanoomon, the strongest destruction God told of in Oriental legends. When the network system fails, it is said that it will erase the existing system and create a new one.
Digimon Word: Next Order will launch for PS Vita in Japan on March 17.
