Get ready to dive back into the Digital World! For fans of Digimon, the past two years have been exciting ones. The franchise made a long-awaited return thanks to Toei Animation as a new film franchise was made for the DigiDestined stars. Heroes like Taichi were brought back to life thanks to the Digimon Adventure tri. reboot, and the series got its latest update earlier this month in Japan. The fourth film subtitled “Loss” is now streaming on Crunchyroll, so fans are naturally curious when the fifth film will make its debut.

And, now, audiences have a better idea of when that date will be.
The folks behind the Digimon Adventure tri. project revealed the fifth film will hit theaters in 2017. The announcement also gave fans a tentative title for the feature. Digimon Adventure tri. Kyลsei was the name given to fans, and the subtitle translates to “union” or “symbiosis” in English.
The first Digimon Adventure tri. feature first hit theaters back in November 2015. The second installment was released last March before the third came in September. So far, it looks like two films a year has been the studio’s standard, so the sixth film is predicted to debut in early 2018.
If you are not familiar with the Digimon Adventure revival, then you have time to catch up. So far, four films from the new series have been released. The revival tells the story of Taichi after the DigiDestined leader reaches high school. Now separated from many of his friends, the boy lives a normal life until the Digital World reopens its doors once again. When a series of incidents prompt Taichi to reunite with his old comrades, the gang of DigiDestined kids are thrown into a new adventure and learn the secrets behind their childhood journeys.
