The Digimon Adventure series is arguably the most popular installment of Digimon, following the adventures of the "Digi-Destined" as they attempted to navigate the digital world. With an anime series to its name as well as several movies, its been awhile since we've visited this world of youngsters attempting to save the world with their Digimon partners at their side.

Digimon Adventure Tri was a series of six films that revisited the world from 2015-2018, offering fans a brand new look at the world of the Digi-Destined as they continued to age and move forward in their lives. From the poster released here, it certainly leads one to believe that the students who visited the digital world will be making a comeback. Whether this will see them even older than they were before or simply revisiting older adventures is yet to be seen, but we'll be sure to keep you posted!

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. The franchise had its first anime adaptation, Digimon Adventure, which focuses on a group of children known as the DigiDestined (or "Chosen Children" in Japan) that are transported to the world of Digimon and have to fight the various evil digital beasts that roam the land.
