Heads up Digimon fans! Bandai Namco just announced that the smartphone game Digimon ReArise is set to be launched for Western players this year. No specific date has been announced for the app’s upcoming release for iOS and Android, however. For the meantime, those interested in getting the game can already head on over to the App Store and Google Play to pre-register and get first access to the game once it launches.
Check out the English-language trailer below!
If you do head over to the App Store, you’ll see that the listed release date for the game is October 21. However, note that another game from Bandai Namco, Gundam Battle: Gunpla Warfare was initially listed for release on August 21 at the App Store but was actually launched on July 31. With this incident, perhaps it’ll be best to just stick to the official date announced by Bandai Namco, which is simply “2019”.
Below are the game’s key features as detailed in the App Store:
