Back in November, Bandai released an odd and cryptic teaser about an upcoming project hitting the Digimon TCG.

Some fans were hopeful it was an announcement for an online client, while others threw around terms like NFTs. I thought it was going to be an anime or short because of the new characters featured in the trailer. There has been a lot of speculation since then, and today we got an official announcement.

Bandai has announced the Digimon Liberator web comic for next year. We didn’t get much information outside the trailer, some character design, and an official website, but there will be another update in January. I can only presume the manga is about kids playing the Digimon TCG.

Fans who were expecting an online client were rightfully disappointed. People who have no interest in lore or these online free projects share in this disappointment. I feel bad for the folks who stayed up late or woke up early to catch the announcement live to receive news that wasn’t worth the sleep deprivation. 

I am a little disappointed that it won’t be an animated series, but I’ll take another Digimon story in whatever form I can get it. After Pokémon: Path to the Peak, I am hopeful for a good story about playing the Digimon. The art is cool, and it might get adapted if it does well. I just hope that this gets a proper English translation. 

We also got an announcement for the 25th Digimoncon happening in 2024. I’ll be covering both the event and the update on the web comic. Stay tuned for that. If you enjoy these updates, make sure you leave a like, comment, follow, and share this with your friends. You can also always buy me coffee!
