Digimon Games On Switch And Mobile

It’s been twenty years since Digimon World launched on the PS1, and we still love nothing more than heading out with Agumon on a new adventure. While never having reached the heights of other early noughties franchises, Bandai Namco has consistently offered new ways of becoming a champion in the digital world.

We’ve gone out in search of all the Digimon games available on mobile and Switch, so you can get a good hit of nostalgia while playing something new. From card games, to narrative RPGs, there are some exciting experiences on offer, with even more in the pipeline. All you need to do is decide on your favourite Digimon before making the leap back into the digital dimension. Patamon is the right answer, by the way. 

For more throwback thrills be sure to check out our guide to the Nintendo Switch Online N64 games to transport you back to the glory days. Or, if all this talk of Digimon has reminded you of a certain other -mon mainstay franchise, check out our guides to Pokémon Legends: Arceus mystery gift codes, or see our Pokémon Legends: Arceus review.

With that out of the way, it’s time to get into some Di-Di-Di-Digmon games. 

Digimon games 

Digimon ReArise – mobile

Bandai Namco’s current franchise flagship is Digimon ReArise, a teambuilding RPG with all the classic characters. Not only is this the first mobile Digimon experience, but you even find exclusive monsters in ReArise, with Herissmon, the porcupine Digimon, making its debut appearance. The RPG mechanics are pretty by the book, but if you’re craving a quick fix of Digimon battling, you can’t go wrong with ReArise. 

It’s worth noting, though, that servers for Digimon ReArise go offline in April this year, so if you want to get in on the action, you had better be quick. Fortunately, a new mobile Digimon experience will arrive alongside the shutdown of ReArise, so maybe just think of this as a warm-up.

Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition – Switch

One of the most comprehensive Digimon games in years, Cyber Sleuth is a vivid imagining of the franchise’s digital world, with a captivating narrative, and countless ‘mon mates. In this double package, you get both Cyber Sleuth games, with hours and hours of content between them, for the price of one. Despite what the title suggests, this isn’t much of a detective game, but it is by far the best Digimon battler in years. 

The complete edition for Switch includes all Cyber Sleuth DLC, too, so you can properly engage with the most recent iteration of the Digimon Story series without missing a beat. There’s even a new game plus mode, where you can carry over your precious Digimon for a suped-up challenge having mastered the main game.

Digimon Card Game Tutorial App – mobile

Ok, so we’re stretching things a little here, but there’s no better way to learn your way around the Digimon TCG than the official app. Here you’ll find tutorials, a practice battle mode, and a litany of tips and tricks, so your duelling skills are ready for gaming outside of the digital world. 

There isn’t much to do once you’ve completed all the tutorials, but if you have fun with the TCG, be sure to check out the links below for some physical decks. 

Upcoming Digimon Games

Digimon Survive – Switch and mobile

It’s coming. We’re almost sure that it’s coming. Following years of delays and push-backs, we hope that the wait is nearly over for Digimon Survive. This upcoming title aims to offer a Digimon experience like no other, with a distinctly more mature plot, tactical battle mechanics, and an emphasis on narrative quests. 

We haven’t seen a plot-driven Digimon game in a while, so it’ll be a nice change of pace to dip into an all-new story with classic characters. If you like the sound of a more adults-only experience in the Digimon world, be sure to keep up to date with our Digimon Survive release date guide to know all the latest developments. 

Digimon: New Generation – mobile 

A new era is coming in Digimon: New Generation, but that doesn’t mean series favourites like Patamon, Agumon, and the gang won’t be back in the fold. This all-encompassing Digimon game takes the format from Digimon ReArise and gives it a new lick of paint, with better graphics, an easier to use UI, and more ways to evolve your ‘mons.

Not to miss out on a piece of the pie, Bandai Namco is slowly rolling out their new mobile Digimon experience to try and emulate other mobile hits from popular franchises. New Generation has already seen a soft launch in Eastern markets, to some acclaim, marking a return to RPG battle basics with all the good stuff included. We hope to see it come to North America and Europe soon. 

Those are all the available and upcoming Digimon games available on Switch or mobile. So, while you’re waiting for Digimon: New Generation, why not jump into another online world with our guide to the best mobile RPGs. Or, why not check out this snazzy Digimon watch so you can keep track of your own virtual pet, and your vital signs, in style.
