Metal Etemon Wants Nanomon's "Lemon Power Plant" in -next 0rder-

Metal Etemon: "None of your business. That aside, Nanomon-chan. Just accept it. So you don't get hurt ♪"

February 26th, 2016. The Digimon World -next 0rder- title site updated with Titamon's character profile today, as well as four new screenshots featuring a mix of storyline and battle sequences. The screenshots show Metal Etemon and Nanomon speaking in front of a "Lemon Power Plant" (レモン発電所 Remon Hatsudensho), with Etemon seemingly bullying Nanomon for it. They also show Omega Shoutmon and Arresterdramon in gameplay, who were previously leaked in this month's issue of V Jump. Omega Shoutmon can use the Mach Jab tech, as well as the Finish move Hard Rock Damashii, while Arresterdramon has access to Buster Dive. Titamon's profile is translated below.

Omega Shoutmon's Finish Move is "Hard Rock Damashii." (lit. "Soul")

Titamon

"Know us as...those who slay gods!"

Before the protagonists stands a single formidable enemy. An avatar of destruction born from the gathered grudges of countless roaming Digimon of a particular region, his conduct itself is thoughtless destruction, acting under Shouma's direction.

The profile is a counterpart to Metal Etemon's, made public last week. Titamon was featured alongside Metal Etemon in both V Jump and in the game's Jump Festa trailer.

Bandai has maintained a constant countdown to the game's Japanese launch on Twitter this past month, uploading photos every day stating how many days remain. 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.

February 18th, 2016. This month's issue of V Jump magazine has been leaked by several different fans acting independently on Twitter. The latest issue reveals that Shinomiya Rina of Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode will be reappearing in -next 0rder- as part of the second of two downloadable scenarios. The first scenario "Maicoomon's Mystery" will have the player help a Maicoomon who came from another world recover her lost members, while the second scenario "The Super First-Class Great Beautiful Girl Tamer Appears!!" has the protagonist become Rina's "disciple."

According to Jump, after starting the game tamers can use their internet connection to download these scenarios free of charge. Rina had previously appeared as part of a crossover with Cyber Sleuth, and Mikagura Mirei--also of the Re:Digitize universe--has been confirmed to be joining the cast of -next 0rder-.

The issue confirms the appearances of Omega Shoutmon and Arresterdramon as possible evolutions for Shoutmon and Gumdramon in -next 0rder-. Profiles for several new antagonists seen in the most recent trailer were also shown.

Metal Etemon and Titamon are said to be assisting Tsuzuki Shouma, along with his partners Kuzuhamon and Gaioumon. Metal Etemon is voiced by Matsutani Yasunori (増谷康紀) who previously portrayed both Etemon and Metal Etemon in Digimon Adventure.

Titamon is voiced by Egawa Hisao (江川央生) who voiced Ogremon and Mugendramon in Adventure. One screenshot shows Metal Etemon conversing with a Nanomon, a possible allusion to Etemon and Nanomon's rivalry in Adventure.

The information on Maicoomon, Rina, and the Xros series Digimon was simultaneously published in Weekly Jump. Neither magazine clarifies how Omega Shoutmon and Arresterdramon are treated in terms of level. This will be the first Digimon game to include them in a non-Xros specific setting, as in their home universes the two have no level.

V Jump also states that the official V Jump Books guide for -next 0rder- will launch soon, possibly simultaneous to the game itself.

Last month's issue focused on Shoutmon and Gumdramo's presence in the game, as well as the layout of Flowtier, the new town replacing the Village of Beginnings/File City.

V Jump Magazine Features Gumdramon & Shoutmon in -next 0rder-, Map of Village of Beginnings

January 19th, 2016. The latest issue of V Jump magazine features Shoutmon and Gumdramon of Digimon Xros Wars and Young Hunters fame as available partners in the upcoming Digimon World -next 0rder-, which will be their first appearance in a Digimon game that exists outside the confines of the Xros Wars universe. The Xros Wars Digimon were previously featured in the game's Jump Festa trailer, which along with the announcement that Frontier's Spirit Digimon would be in the game, came as a surprise to many.

The second page of the spread maps out the Village of Beginnings, matching the description seen in 4Gamer.

The Village of Beginnings is divided into six districts, which are (counterclockwise from the left) the Different Dimension District (異次元区), the Introductory District (渡来区), the Central District (中央区), the Pleasure District (娯楽区), the Commerce District (商業区) and the Research District (研究区).

Jijimon's house is in the Central District, while the Pleasure District contains a Coliseum for battling Digimon, among other attractions. The Commerce District houses the shops that tamers can buy items from, and the Research District is where training facilities for powering up Digimon are located. As the player ventures through the Digital World, recruiting Digimon and gathering materials to improve the town, it will gradually develop into a booming city.

Last month's issue of V Jump revealed the game's launch date, the new character Tsuzuki Shouma, and that Susanoomon would be joining the roster.
