'Digimon World' Remakes Being "Positively" Considered By Games Producer

Those working in the game industry have gone all in on pre-millennium nostalgia of late.

Taito just released the Egret Mini II, which is your luxury Bubble Bobble cabinet. Then, out of nowhere, we found out the House Of The Dead Remake is stealth dropping next month. Now the word on the street is Digimon World could be making a comeback, and apparently a lot of people have been asking for it.

Don't know what Digimon World is all about? You can see a recent gameplay trailer for Next Order below.

At Digimon Con 2022 (via Gematsu), Digimon producer Kazumasu Habu was asked during a Q&A session where he saw future Digimon World games going. The first game released in way back 1999 and played more like a Tamagochi game than the kind of JRPG titles Digimon is now known for. The most recent entry, 2015's Digimon World: Next Order earned mixed reviews, but was generally enjoyed by fans.

In the interview, Habu expressed interest in doing something with the series, but wasn't sure which the best path forward would be.

“We have received many requests for a port or remake of the original Digimon World, - I’m positively considering it. But at the same time, I’m also thinking about which choice; port, remaster, or remake, is better. If I choose port or remaster, then I think it will be highly feasible," he reasoned.

"If you want a remake, we need to think about how many additional elements you’d need to incorporate into the game. Digimon World has a very good balance between the stage and the Digimon that appear. If we add new Digimon, then I think we should treat it as a new product rather than a remake."

Habu and the team are still looking out for more feedback from fans on what types of Digimon World games they would want in the future, but 90's kids should keep their fingers crossed.
