According to Gematsu.com, the latest instalment in the series will follow the senior high school boy named Takuto, a runner-up in the Japanese Digimon game competition, who spends his days studying for his lessons.
The character, as well as the others in the game, was inspired by the designs of Taiki whose recent works include the "Lord of Vermilion III Re: 2" and "Lord of Vermilion III Twin Lance."
Taiki recalled his elementary days looking at the first-generation Digimon toys being displayed at the local department stores. He admitted that he never expected to be personally involved in the franchise.
The game designer went on to divulge that Takuto was in fact, very fond of Digimon back when he was a child. However, his duties at school led him to forget about the hobby.
"Digimon World: Next Order" will then reveal how the protagonist will be re-acquainted with them. This rediscovery will consequently reignite his passion.
The new Digimon title features a day and night in-game time system. The fields also changed in synch with the given time.
Just like the typical Digimon game world, players are pitted to "travel the world, alongside your lovable Digimon!"
"Digimon World: Next Order" is slated for a 2016 release in Japan for the PS Vita.
