Digimon World: Next Order PS4 Game's English Trailer Streamed

Bandai Namco Entertainment America began streaming an English trailer for its Digimon World: Next Order PlayStation 4 game on Wednesday. The video highlights raising and training Digimon, and evolving Digimon together with the game's "Extra Cross Evolution" feature.

Bandai Namco Entertainment will release the game in Europe on January 27 and in the Americas on January 31. The game's Western release will feature multiple language options, including English and Japanese voices as well as English, French, and Spanish subtitles. In the Americas, the game will be available "through the digital PlayStation Store and at retail stores."

The original game shipped on March 17 in Japan for the PlayStation Vita, and a PlayStation 4 International Edition will ship in Japan on February 16. While Bandai Namco Entertainment is releasing the game for both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in Japan, the game will not get a PlayStation Vita release outside of Japan.

Those who preorder the game in Japan and the Americas will receive soundtracks for both the new game and the original Digimon World PlayStation game, a digivolution core for Omegamon, and an Adventure Aid DLC set.

Bandai Namco Entertainment describes the game:

Digimon World: Next Order begins when players are sucked into the Digital World to discover it is under siege by Machinedramons. Rescued by two Digimon from impending doom, players must forge forward with their Digimon partners and journey through the Digital World to discover the origins of the Machinedramon scourge and find a way back to the real world. Along the way, players will nurture and train their Digimon partners for battle as they progress through the game.

Digimon World: Next Order contains over 200 Digimon for players to meet, recruit, and interact with throughout their adventure. Digimon World: Next Order will also give players the choice of playing as either a male or female protagonist and enable players to explore the Digital World with two Digimon partners for the first time in franchise history. The key to finding a way back to the real world and stopping the Digital World from total destruction at the hands of Machinedramons will lie in building strong bonds and providing effective training for each Digimon.

In the game, players choose between a male or female protagonist. The game's protagonist is a senior high school student who has loved Digimon since he/she was young. In fifth grade, he/she was the runner up of a Japanese Digimon game tournament.

The Japanese version featured two downloadable scenarios. In the first scenario, players meet Meicoomon, the cat-like Digimon that first appeared in the Digimon Adventure tri. anime. The second scenario focuses on Rina Shinomiya, a character who first appeared in the Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode Nintendo 3DS game.
