DIGIMON UP! Announced as New Mobile RPG with Classic Raising Mechanics

Bandai Namco has officially announced a new mobile title, DIGIMON UP!, set to launch on Android and iOS in 2026. Revealed during DIGIMON CON 2026, the game is described as a monster-raising RPG that builds on the franchise’s classic formula.

A Familiar Digimon Experience

At its core, DIGIMON UP! follows the traditional gameplay loop fans know well. Players will raise, train, and evolve their Digimon partners, guiding them through multiple stages up to Mega Digivolution. Each Digimon is expected to feature unique traits, with mechanics centered around feeding, training, and progression.

Nostalgic Visual Style

The game adopts a pixel-art aesthetic, offering a nostalgic feel reminiscent of older Digimon titles. Early previews suggest a clean and retro-inspired presentation, though full details on visuals and performance are still limited.

More Than Just Battles

Beyond combat, DIGIMON UP! will include classic franchise elements such as Digivices and Digimon Cards, hinting at a blend of collection systems and progression mechanics. While battles are confirmed, detailed information about combat systems has yet to be revealed.

Early but Promising

Although gameplay footage remains scarce, the concept already appeals to fans of classic Digimon-raising games. Following recent developments in the franchise, including new projects from Bandai Namco, DIGIMON UP! adds to the growing lineup of upcoming titles.

DIGIMON UP! is expected to release in 2026 as a free-to-play mobile game with in-app purchases.
