Digimon World: Next Order is getting a localization in 2017



The Digimon series has had a rocky history when it comes to its games getting English translations. But it looks like times have changed, as Bandai Namco has announced that Digimon World: Next Order will be making its way west early 2017, as a digital only title for PS4. According to the company, the localization petition for Digimon Cyber Sleuth, and its later success in western sales is what made Next Order's translation possible.

Should note that the Western release appears to be a new PS4 port rather than a Vita localization. At least with Cyber Sleuth they kept the original Vita version - the thing fans were asking for with the petition in the first place.

"the localization petition for Digimon Cyber Sleuth" except that the petition was original for Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode, hence called "Operation Decode". The fans originally wanted Decode, not CS actually....

Ah! My bad. Thanks for the heads up. I knew there was a big petition, but I don't know a single thing about the series.

Digimon's still a thing?
Apparently. It's got a huge cult following from what I've seen.

Whoop. Could have sworn I added in PS4 somewhere in there. Added.

I liked cyber sleuth alot so I'll be getting this but I'm very disappointed that its digital only.
It's sad, but it seems digital-only has become a great way to get niche stuff to the west.

Before people will cry about the Vita version not being localized, trust me, the vita version is a mess.
Low res textures, poor framerate, bugs everywhere. Trust me you don't want that version.

    @K3Nv2 what was your ps4 situation
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    did you always have a ps4 you never updated
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    or were you able to get new ps4 tracking it \
    as soon as the hack was announced
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    or did you have to find a used one with the lower firm ware that was not updated
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I got this ps4 at launch and never updated since 9.0
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You got a good chance of buying a used one and asking the seller how often they used or even ask for a Pic of fw and telling them not to update
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Speaking of PLaystation. I see Evilnat put out a beta for PS3 CFW 4.91.2 on the 22nd.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Don't really see the point in updating it tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you right, I thought about updating my PS3 CFW to 4.91, but why really, everything plays fine now. I guess for people that have already updated past 4.9 it would be helpful.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Idk if online servers are still active that would be my only thought
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I don't play it online at all, in fact, I deleted all wifi details on it once I installed CFW, so it won't connect and auto-update itself
