New Digimon MMO, Digimon Super Rumble, Announced for Korea

[MarcFBR]

A new Digimon MMO is coming to Korea!

Digimon Super Rumble has been announced by Move Games. Move is the makers of Digimon Battle (Digimon RPG), along with Digimon Masters. They also took over Digimon Soul Chaser beginning with season 2.

The new game will run on Unreal Engine 4. It's described as a game created with Digimon Adventure as the background material that inspired the game, but with original characters and new stories that are exclusive to Super Rumble.


So far the screenshots are the games logo (with Patamon and an original character), a shot of the original 7 partners from Adventure with Gennai, and Agumon and Patamon battling Devimon near the Village of Beginnings.


More details to come.


No news on what will happen to Digimon RPG and Digimon Masters, if anything. (Digimon Battle shut down in the west, but RPG is still going in Korea after almost 20 years.)


Update- A number of other screenshots sent to us by a Digimon fan, featuring Taichi and Agumon.

Thanks to Shika for the heads up.

I wonder what kinds of Digimon will appear besides the 7.

I will not put my hopes high on this...


“Oh dear Lord... please make it the best and what I’ve been waiting for...”

Korean MMOs are usually horrible.

Super Rumble sounds like an odd name for an MMO. I almost thought this was a new fighting game.

Korean MMOs are usually horrible.

from what I see here it already looks dated.
Way more visually appealing than Masters at least

Added more screenshots.

I don't play MMO's but this looks cool and a shame it's exclusive to Korea.

...is that a Guy Fieri Devimon?

So the images Move Games shared on April Fools day ended up being a real game after all. Surely they wont have three MMOs running at the same time? maybe they'll finally kill off Digimon RPG/Battle, though with it in its 19th year I feel like they'd wanna get their 20 year anniversary stuff out before doing that. It's 20th anniversary will be in January 2022. Crazy how these MMOs have lasted so long.

Also, in addition to Soul Chaser they have an Appmon mobile game as well called App Monster - Defense. Bandai must be really happy with the amount of money they make them if they keep letting them launch all these games. This will be their 5th Digimon/Appmon game (no idea what happened with Soul Chaser and why they took over, did they approach and buy the rights deciding they want monopoly on Digimon games in Korea or what?)

Maybe this one will be less pay to win than the others, but nah of course it wont.

I think this will probably release in English at some point since Battle and Masters did. Shame of the games made by non Japanese studios it wasn't New Century we got. That's the best one.

Super Rumble sounds like an odd name for an MMO. I almost thought this was a new fighting game.

Defo could've been the name of a 4th Rumble Arena game lol.

lol Got so exited cause i thought it was the next rumble arena game xD
Looks like focus on first season ...again?

 

[Kyaromonfan96]

AppliFang, Maybe the new Rumble Arena game should be made by the same people that made Smash Bros Ultimate.

 

[MasterOfTartarus]

looks nice, hopefully it makes its way to the west so we can give it a try and hopefully the game is better then masters, though my hopes ain´t high is it´s the same guys who make it, i already expect pay to win and horrible balancing.

 

[Ghalheart]

Looks great, but I'm burned-out by MMOs to get too excited.

I'll keep an eye on it as it develops, though.

 

[Yotaman]

Really hope this is legit and will get an English release.
I still remember playing Digimon RPG and moving on to Korean Masters when it was first available, then really getting addicted to Masters at the English release. All good times. I just hope that this won't be as repetitive as DMO.

 

[Santaskid]

Yeah my thought was PvP heavy game because of the rumble title- and considering they tried PvP in DMO only to pull it because it was totally unbalanced- replacing it with a boss rush mode instead (with the pvp aspect being who gets the most points every few months) and some weird chess inspired game

Calling it super rumble could be a way to draw people in hoping for a proper PVP set up, of course it could very much have a proper pvp set up, the problem with DMOs was it was added into the game and not there rom the beginning(and aparently the idea of disabling food during pvp, or making a handful of PVP only items was something they never thought of - I mean later they made it so the summon cards only worked in 1 area sadly that was some time after KDMO got rid of pvp since it was a failure.


I mean theres plenty of games out there with story modes that have some level of PVP right? I mean stuff like say Halo? I know thats probably not the best comparison but I'm struggling to think of others at the moment cause the weather has just been miserably warm for me.

I'm actually interested in MMO again because I want to get stuck in one game. I'd want to play, ngl.

 

[Bancho]

I'm definitely wondering if what we're seeing in the screenshots are actual gameplay screenshots or renders.
Regardless I'll give it a try but I imagine it's just a grindy free to play pay to win type deal
