Well that was a short wait...
After an image teaser just a day ago, Bandai has put up the intro for Digimon ReArise.
There are lots of fun elements to this teaser including showing various evolutions of the partners, including Erismon. We also get some story hints, along with seeing a few new characters.
Pre-registration has also begun. You can pre-register via email, Twitter, and Line.
Based on the number of pre-registrations there will be bonus items given to everyone:
50,000: 20 DigiRubies, 1 DigiEgg
100,000: Additional 20 DigiRubies, Portable Toiler decor
150,000: Additional 30 DigiRubies, Punching Balloon decor (You can train your Digimon with it)
200,000: Additional 30 DigiRubies, 5x Yellow Pansies, Assortment of helpful items (x30)
They also tease more things are planned.
Update- Onkei has pointed out a few additional details. There's no geolock, preregistering via Twitter is apparently just following the official Twitter account, and you can pre-register via all 3 methods if you want. So hopefully those pre-registration numbers get high.
Update- They've announced, along with a short clip of hatching a digiegg, that pre-registrations are above 50,000.
With the upcoming release of the theme song, the early release of the OP, and pre-registrations being opened, it seems the wait for the game from here on out will be quite short.
Here are more relevant details for Digimon ReArise that have shown up in prior articles.
The opening features the song The Future is Now by the band Straightener.
The CD is being released April 11th and can be pre-ordered from CDJapan (Affiliate link) for 1,000 yen:
The Future is Now CD
Straightener put up a different version of the cover art on social media, both versions are included here as we aren't sure which is being used (perhaps one will be used on first prints?)
Additional details for the CD release can be found here.
Update- A small Twitter campaign.
Thru March 23rd if you follow the Digimon ReArise Twitter account and retweet this tweet you get entered into a contest to win a shikishi signed by Straightener. Thanks to a few different people for sending this in.
Update- Yet another Twitter campaign!
Another easy one (but of course, Japan only.)
Thru the end of March 29th if you follow the Digimon ReArise Twitter account and retweet this tweet you get entered into a contest to win a 20th Anniversary Digimon Pendulum! They'll give one each to two different winners!
Bandai has also been releasing updated character profiles with clean artwork for characters from the game (many previously appeared here and here.) We're putting them all up here together and we will update with new ones as they are released and we have translations.
Erismon: A Digimon that appeared before the protagonist (player) as a result of a certain incident. It is pure and innocent, lacking knowledge of many things but full of curiosity. Taking the word 'partner' to heart, it teams up with you to fight an unknown enemy.
Agumon: A Digimon who has a bit of a carefree side to it. It became friends with Erismon after fighting alongside it.
Takumi Hiiragi: A quiet 3rd year high school student, he seems to give off this air that makes it hard for others to approach him.
Dorumon: It is earnest and straightforward, and strongly believes in doing what it can for Takumi's sake.
Michi Shinjou: A naive, innocent 2nd year high schooler. She and her partner Plotmon have perfectly matching paces.
Plotmon: Michi's partner Digimon. It is very optimistic and can often be found conversing excitedly with Michi.
Keito Tamada: A shy and timid 1st year university student. When Elecmon appeared before him for the first time, he ran away in shock. What can we expect from him in the future...?
Elecmon: It has a slightly spoilt personality, and has a habit of hiding behind Keito.
Mayu Kohinata: A considerate, kind-hearted 1st year studying at a vocational school. Her hobby is making sweets.
Kudamon: A cultured, level-headed Digimon. It is great at taking care of others, and acts as a pillar of support for the gentle Mayu.
Update- They added a profile for Pusurimon.
Pusurimon, a Baby Digimon.
A quadrupedal Lesser type Digimon with yellow spines growing from its back.
It is always running around energetically; it occasionally stops in its tracks, but will fall asleep on the spot immediately after.
It evolves into Erismon in the future!
The prior Digimon ReArise article can be found here.
Hey look... this is the 20,000th thread on WtW.
