Summary
Digimoncould be getting its own version ofPokemon TCG Pocketsoon based on its own card game.PokemonandDigimonshare many similarities, as both are franchises that came to prominence in the late 90s and are centered around a growing universe of elementally empowered monsters that can partner up with humans and battle against each other. LikePokemon,Digimonhas spawned games, TV shows, toys, and other merchandise in the years since its initial debut.
WhileDigimon’s video games have never quite reached the critical and commercial success ofPokemon, the past few years have seen a resurgence of sorts for the inhabitants of the Digital World. Back in 2022,Digimon Survivefinally launched after a long and troubled development cycle to mixed reviews, and earlier this year Bandai Namco announced anew chapter in theDigimon Storyseriesthat will feature parallel timelines and a host of classic creatures.
More information about the recently revealedDigimon Story: Time Strangeris expected to be shown at the upcoming Digimon Con event, and this might not be the only gaming news to be found. A few days ago, theDigimon Trading Card GameTwitter account posted a cryptic trailer for a newDigimonmobile game. Renamon, a Digimon familiar to fans ofDigimon Tamers(thethird season of theDigimonanime) comes across a mobile phone that draws the fox-like creature inside. The phone then turns around to face the camera with its screen displaying a message that says that more information will be revealed at Digimon Con on March 20.
Mystery Digimon Project Could Be Like Pokemon TCG Pocket
The trailer didn’t really specify what this mysteryDigimonproject is supposed to be, but the presence of a mobile phone and the fact that it was released during this weekend’s Bandai Card Games Fest seems to suggest that this might be a mobile gamesimilar toPokemon TCG Pocket. As its name suggests,Pokemon TCG Pocketis a free-to-play mobile title that allows players to collect and tradePokemoncards and battle against other users online.
So far,Pokemon TCG Pockethas been incredibly successful since it launched in October 2024, with the game reportedly pulling in around $3 million a day in revenue since its initial release. Now it seems like the companies behindDigimonare looking to replicate this with their own version of the mobile title usingDigimon’s own trading card game, though there won’t be a concrete confirmation until Digimon Con on March 20.
