-next 0rder- Update Adds Hard Mode

March 16th, 2016. The official Digimon World -next 0rder- Twitter account revealed the details on a day one Hard Mode addition to Digimon World -next 0rder-, which adjusts the game balance by modifying the stats of enemy Digimon. Tamers can switch Hard Mode on and off by speaking to Punimon within Jijimon's house, or get more information about the mode by asking the Digimon.

Digimon World -next 0rder- will launch in Japan March 17th, 2016, on the PlayStation Vita for 6,980 yen (7,539 JPY after tax). It is the latest entry in the World series, succeeding directly from Re:Digitize Decode on the 3DS, Re:Digitize on the PSP, and World on the PSX. Tying into Digimon Adventure tri., the game will feature Maicoomon as free downloadable content.

Those that preorder the game will get access to five special DLC Digimon, a remastered copy of the 1999 Digimon World soundtrack, and two original Vita themes, "ver. Nostalgic" and "ver. Dot." Theme ver. Dot features a montage of original Digimon LCD sprites, while theme ver. Nostalgic turns the screen into the layout of a Digital Monster virtual pet.
