December 28th, 2015. The official @Digimon_game account
tweeted that the upcoming smartphone game
Digimon Linkz is "in development," asking fans to look forward to the game while its team makes improvements. Bandai also shared two screenshots from
Linkz in the meantime. The images show a maxed-out Stamina bar, icons for Missions, Presents, a Digivice, options to Configure items in the
DigiGarden, a Farm Goods option, and a Capture feature to acquire new Digimon. In the second screenshot, fans can also make out one of
Digimon's traditional meat farms.
Digimon Linkz has had a troubled production since its first announcement, having its launch date delayed from 2015 to 2016, and very little concrete information about it is known. Most recently, the game
introduced its navigator character Kurihara Hina to issue an apology for the delays. Nonetheless, the game has proved popular even in lieu of a release date, with
over fifty thousand people having preregistered for the game as of last November.
Linkz will launch in 2016 on Android and iOS. The game will be free-to-play, with microtransactions.
