The film is looking to bring fans back to the original cast of the first series, showing what the characters are currently doing now in their 20s. The Digital Monsters also have a number of video games under their belt, with details about its next big game, “Digimon Survive” being teased to the public.
The Digimon series was originally conceived by Bandai, Toei Animation, and WiZ in 1997 as a way to capitalize on the virtual pet craze sparked by Tamagotchi. The franchise focus on its titular “Digital Monsters,” monsters that live in a parallel, digital world that came from mankind’s technology.
