Bandai Namco has shared new details and screenshots for Digimon World: Next Order, re-introducing new character Himari Obuchi, introducing town elder Jijimon, and shedding new light on the battle system.

Get the details below.

Himari Obuchi and Rikka

A third-year student, same as the protagonist. Level-headed and resolute, but sometimes mistaken as self-centered since she tends to act as soon as she makes up her mind. On the contrary, she’ll work hard to help someone else even if it means suppressing her own feelings. She ends up in the Digital World like Kouta. Every now and then she looks like something tough is on her mind… Her partner is a Salamon named Rikka. She has a needy personality and is always with Himari.

Jijimon

The elder of a certain town. He’s a serious Digimon with a strong sense of responsibility, but can sometimes be silly. After his town was attacked by Mugendramon, the Digimon that inhabited it were scattered. Jijimon is working hard to rebuild the town and return them home.
