V Jump Announces Digimon Universe, D-Ark Ver. 15th, TCG, Possible Maicoomon Evolution in -next 0rder-

05/20/2016 Update: An official site for Universe is live.

May 19th, 2016. An early leak of this month's issue of V Jump magazine posted by @white4527 confirms the information previously published by Alternator, that a new collaboration project between Bandai, Bandai Namco Entertainment, and Toei Animation called Digimon Universe Applimonsters (デジモン Universe アプリモンスターズ Dejimon Unibaasu Apurimonsutaazu, also translated as App Monsters) will be coming in 2016. A second page posted by @kouniko25252 discusses merchandise celebrating the ongoing fifteenth anniversary of Digimon Tamers, primarily a newly-announced D-Ark Ver. 15th Digivice.

More information on Universe will become available at this year's 2016 Tokyo Toy Show on June 9th. The current teaser image features the face of a new Digimon and a magnifying glass, as well as a number of smartphone-style apps. This page states that Universe will be a hobby, game, and TV anime project, which matches Alternator's description. The page's copyright attributes its content to the "Appmon Project." (アプモンプロジェクト)

The D-Ark Ver. 15th will feature two new Digimon not found in the original models, Megidramon and Sakuyamon Miko Mode. It will come in two colors, Matsuda Takato (red) and Makino Ruki (blue). Additionally, a "Digimon Card Special BOX" has been announced, containing a new Digimon Card Game D-Ark Ver. 15th Edition derived from the original Hyper Colosseum TCG used in Tamers.

These will both be Premium Bandai web shop items, and will be available for preorder July 22nd, going out in January 2017. The Special BOX will cost 6000 yen plus sales tax, while the D-Ark's price has not been announced. All previous Ver. 15th Digivices cost 9990 yen prior to tax.

The issue also covers the upcoming Beelzebumon Blast Mode and Makino Rukino G.E.M. figures, which now have determined prices. Blast Mode with an accompanying Impmon figure will cost 13,200 yen prior to tax (about $130 US) and Ruki with Renamon will cost 6800 yen prior to tax. (About $70 US.)

Finally, another image posted by @white4517 reveals that yet another update for Digimon World -next 0rder- will allow tamers to raise an "unknown Digimon" in Digimon World -next 0rder-. This "mysterious new Digimon" can be raised after clearing a new scenario, and will be available for download beginning in June. While the Digimon is not named, the profile image is similar to the Maicoomon evolution teased in the second chapter of Digimon Adventure tri. Seeing as Maicoomon was already made DLC previously, it's probable that this is her evolution. Additionally, the official V Jump Books Digimon World -next 0rder- Official Guidebook will be reprinted at 1300 yen.

Maicoomon DLC Goes Live for -next 0rder-

March 31st, 2016. The Digimon Adventure tri. crossover DLC for Digimon World -next 0rder- went live today, allowing tamers to download the additional scenario "Maicoomon's Mystery" to their games, and unlock the Maine Coon Digimon's special evolution item. After downloading and installing the update, tamers can fight Maicoomon at the Used Cable Route in the Nearby Grasslands area. The update is accessed via the "additional contents" subsection to the right of the game in the Vita menu, the same menu through which the Twitter Campaign DLC items were made available.

The DLC will be followed by an update in early April that will patch the game to ver.1.02, which will introduce bug fixes, adjust game balance, and add an additional postgame quest involving a crisis of the Digital World.

Maicoomon Uses Darkness Techs in -next 0rder-

March 24th, 2016. The official Digimon World -next 0rder- title site updated with a video of the game's upcoming DLC, featuring Maicoomon of Digimon Adventure tri. as a downloadable Digimon. Maicoomon will become available after tamers complete her corresponding quest. She can then be accessed by feeding their partner Digimon a Maicoomon-specific evolution item. The video presented is identical to the one shown in a stream early in February, but uncompressed.

Although her level was not shown Maicoomon was stated to be Adult-level like Tailmon in the second tri. film, Ketsui. -next 0rder- does have occasional deviations from other canonical level designations; for example, Agnimon is classified as a Perfect in the game where the trading card game treated him as an Adult. Maicoomon is seen using the Battle tech Mach Jab and the Darkness techs Dark Spirit and Chaos Cloud, in contrast to Tailmon's Battle/Light.

The soundtrack download section of the site also went live, allowing both physical and digital users to download the remastered Digimon World OST by entering in their product code.

Lilithmon & Expanded Meat Farm Appear in -next 0rder-

"Phantom Pain."

March 11th, 2016. The official Digimon World -next 0rder- title site updated with the game's final batch of screenshots prior to launch. This batch shows the Demon Lords Lilithmon and Belphemon Sleep Mode as available Digimon in the game, as well as Banchou Leomon and the DLC Digimon, Maicoomon. An additional screen provides a view of an expanded Meat Farm in the developed version of Floatier. The expanded farm features fruit and vegetable trees on top of its standard fare.

Palmon: "Ehhh, have you come to see the harvest? While you're at it, want to replant them?"

Belphemon Sleep Mode: "Let's go!"

The website also added a new video to promote the game, which video advertises the voiced Agumon and Gabumon DLC. These special Digimon are not voiced by standard Digimon World sound effects, but instead retain their original seiyuu from 1999, Chika Sakamoto and Yamaguchi Mayumi.

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. 

Shinomiya Rina & Ulforce V-dramon to Return in -next 0rder-, Omega Shoutmon & Arresterdramon Shown in V Jump

Original image uploaded by @kimi_463.

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.
