Digimon World: Next Order
2016’s Japanese Vita release (then 2017’s worldwide PlayStation 4 release) Digimon World: Next Order, is another game getting the time-honored Switch remake. (Alongside PC, we should say.) Set in the digital monster universe, it was—and still is—an RPG in which you play as one of two humans tasked with raising and battling Digimon beasties, including making sure they go to the bathroom.
Next Order never found the same love as the previous year’s Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, in part due to its complexity. It makes it an odd surprise choice by Bandai Namco for a remake (especially given Cyber Sleuth hasn’t seen the same), but it should at least improve things for the franchise after 2022’s less loved Digimon Survive
Given the enormous popularity of Pokémon at the moment, it seems a smart time to remind people of Digimon’s better days, especially if Bandai is testing the water to perhaps bring back either the World or Story series.
Release Date: February 22
