DIGIMON UP launches worldwide on iOS and Android

DIGIMON UP is finally live worldwide on iOS and Android, which means the virtual pet nostalgia button has officially been pressed again. The new mobile release lets players collect, raise, evolve and battle Digimon through a lighter idle-RPG structure, so this is less intense creature training academy and more pocket-sized Digital World routine.

For busy mobile players, that may actually be the point: hatch, upgrade, evolve, claim rewards and watch the numbers go up while your partner monster does most of the heavy lifting. Fans hoping for a deeper V-pet revival may be divided, but as a daily mobile nostalgia loop, this one has instant name power.
