The upcoming Digimon Con 2025 promises exciting news for Digimon fans, with a particular teaser hinting at a significant mobile-related announcement. A picture of a puzzled Renamon holding a mobile phone has fueled speculation about a potential digital version of the Digimon Trading Card Game (TCG).
While a tutorial app already exists for iOS and Android, the timing, following the release of Pokémon TCG Pocket, suggests a full-fledged digital TCG might be on the horizon. However, it's important to note that the teaser's connection to mobile could simply be about viewing the livestream.
Going Digital: A Strategic Move?
Digimon, while a beloved franchise, undeniably sits in Pokémon's shadow. While enjoying a dedicated fanbase, it hasn't achieved Pokémon's global pop culture dominance. A digital TCG could bridge this gap, offering increased accessibility and potentially attracting a wider player base. While not a guaranteed success, the relatively lower risk associated with a popular existing TCG makes it a compelling strategic move for Bandai Namco.
We'll have to wait for the Digimon Con livestream later this month for confirmation. In the meantime, check out our recent game reviews – including our take on the highly anticipated Good Coffee, Great Coffee.
