Takahiro Yokota, a producer overseeing Digimon World: Next Order for Nintendo Switch, responded to a fan comment inquiring about the next game in the Digimon Story line. The comments came during Digimon Con 2024, a virtual event hosted by Bandai Namco. Yokota was part of a panel discussing the most recent games in the franchise.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of both the release of Digimon World to the PlayStation and the debut of the Digimon anime. Digimon Story made its debut in 2010 on the Nintendo DS, and has released some sequels over the years. Most recently in 2019, Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth — Hacker's Memory was ported to PC and Switch from its original PlayStation release in 2017. Fans of the Digimon Story games have been clamoring for an update or hint as to the release of the next entry.
Yokota could not confirm nor deny the development of a new Digimon Story game. He was joined by Japanese voice actors Ken Ichijoji and Daisuke Motomiya, who both have starred in one or more Digimon animes. Yokota responded to the comment after some discussion about previous games. «We apologize for keeping fans waiting, but we ask for your patience until we're ready to share more information.» Those were Yokota's exact words in immediate response.
The panel and Con were held to generate excitement about the current state of Digimon, namely its 25th anniversary. Several Japanese voice actors participated as well, with the last dub of the Digimon Adventure anime released in 2023. Discussions during the panel ranged from talking about the top 10 fan-voted Digimon to mentioning obscure titles like Digimon Racing.
Though predominantly on PlayStation for most of their publication history, mainstream games such as Digimon World and Digimon Story found their way onto the Nintendo Switch. Digimon Survive, released in 2022, is a visual novel with tactical RPG elements, and the most current game in the franchise. Fans have compared the gameplay of Digimon Survive to Digimon Story, and perhaps hoped that Digimon Con would be the place to hear an update on the latter.
With potential influences coming from Digimon Survive, there is currently no telling when the game will come out, or what it will feature. However, Takahiro Yokota did not deny that there is a new Digimon Story game in active development. Unfortunately, there is no additional information to bring at this time.
