KIRKLAND, Wash. - March 4, 2010
WeMade Entertainment today announced plans to launch the
first-ever online Digimon game, Digimon Battle. The massively
multiplayer online game will bring the original animated TV Series,
Seasons 1 - 4 (“Digimon Adventure,” “Digimon
Adventure 02,” “Digimon Tamers,” and
“Digimon Frontier”) to life online with real-time
battles and an interactive world to explore. Players will take on
the role of special Digimon Tamers, helping to protect the earth
from evil Digimon by partnering with good Digimon and exploring the
Digital World together. Fans can pre-register for the open beta
today, and download the Digimon Battle client and the
Frontier’s Starter Kit starting March 10 from the official
website:
www.digimonbattle.com.
“The Digimon community has been waiting patiently for an
online, interactive DigiWorld, and we feel privileged to be
developing this experience for audiences,” said Kevin Seo,
CEO of WeMade Entertainment. “In the open beta, players will
be able to take on the role of hero or heroine in the game and
embark on adventures with Digimon friends.”
In Digimon Battle, players select a Tamer character, Takato
Matsuki, Henry Wong, Rika Nonaka, or Jeri Katou, and set off with
their Digimon and human friends, helping their Digimon to progress
in their Digivolution. Players and their Digimon level up by
winning battles, and players can progress through several ranks of
Tamer to achieve elite status. There are three types of Digimon
Partners, and seven types of Captured Digimon for players to find
and tame in the world. More information on the Digimon will be
revealed soon!
From March 3 to March 16, players who register for the beta,
download the client and create their characters will get an
exclusive Frontier Starter Kit for being pioneering members of the
Digimon Battle community. The Frontier Starter Kit will include
valuable tools to help players prepare for the open beta, including
10 Jump Gates to jump to all the maps in the world map, 10 Vigor
Floppy Discs to gain 200 VP recovery while in defense mode, and 10
Recovery Floppy Discs to gain 200 HP recovery while in attack mode.
The kits will be delivered on March 17.
