Digimon UP - the new monster-raising game officially announced for iOS and Android.

Bandai Namco has officially announced Digimon UP, a free-to-play monster-raising RPG, scheduled for release on iOS and Android in 2026. This is considered one of the notable new projects of the Digimon brand, aiming for a long-term engagement experience between players and their digital creatures.

According to the publisher, Digimon UP is built around the idea of ​​'A Digimon journey that moves with your life' – a Digimon journey intertwined with the player's life. This suggests the game will focus on nurturing, interacting with, and developing over time, rather than solely emphasizing combat. Furthermore, the game utilizes a completely new pixel art style, offering a feel that is both nostalgic and modern. Players will encounter many familiar elements of the Digimon series, from character design to characteristic gameplay mechanics.

In Digimon UP, each Digimon has unique characteristics, requiring players to choose and develop partners that suit their play style. The gameplay mechanics focus on caring for, feeding, and training Digimon to increase their strength.

The Digivolution process continues to play a core role, allowing Digimon to evolve through various stages, leading to the powerful Mega Digivolution level. Simultaneously, players can also participate in battles to test their strength and achieve victory against opponents.

Beyond the activities of raising and battling, Digimon UP also integrates many familiar elements such as Digimon Cards and Digivices, contributing to a full recreation of the distinctive experience of this long-standing brand. With its free-to-play model and long-term gameplay focus, Digimon UP is expected to attract both new players and long-time fans when it officially launches in 2026.
