Bandai Namco announced that an online event centered on the Digimon franchise will stream on February 26. Dubbed “Digimon Con”, the event will stream worldwide on the company’s official YouTube channel starting at 8:00 p.m. EST.
The event is described as a “celebration of all things Digimon, presenting a wide range of content.” The upcoming event will be streamed in both English and Japanese, though the broadcast may vary between the two depending on the segment.
The stream will cover a wide variety of upcoming Digimon content. There will be a special segment focusing on the Digimon anime series, new information on an unnamed Digimon game, more information on the Digimon Vital Bracelet, the initial selection results for the Digimon Illustration Competition, and a live performance by long-time Digimon contributor Ayumi Miyazaki.
Though no specific information has been provided as to what game will be covered during the event, there’s a chance that fans might finally see more of the upcoming Digimon Survive. The anticipated title has been delayed a handful of times throughout its development, but news of the game being rated by the ESRB point towards a release in the near future.
The segment dedicated to the anime series will likely focus on the ongoing Digimon Ghost Game anime. The series premiered on Fuji TV on October 3, and Crunchyroll is streaming it as it airs. A new anime film focusing on the cast of Digimon Adventure 02 is currently in the works.
The Digimon Illustration Competition is set to take place from December 16 to February 6. The theme of the competition will be cute or cool Digimon scenes. Contestants will enter their pieces for a chance to have them featured as card designs in the Digimon Card Game. Those who win the Grand Prize and Second Prize will have their artwork featured in the card game, with Bandai Namco possibly using the designs during future events.
A schedule for the event will soon be released.
