You can watch the game’s official announcement trailer below.

Additionally, here’s more information on Digimon World: Next Order from Bandai Namco:

Digimon World: Next Order begins when players are sucked into the Digital World to discover it is under siege by Machinedramons. Rescued by two Digimon from impending doom, players must forge forward with their Digimon partners and journey through the Digital World to discover the origins of the Machinedramon scourge and find a way back to the real world. Along the way, players will nurture and train their Digimon partners for battle as they progress through the game. Digimon World: Next Order contains over 200 Digimon for players to meet, recruit, and interact with throughout their adventure. Digimon World: Next Order will also give players the choice of playing as either a male or female protagonist and enable players to explore the Digital World with two Digimon partners for the first time in franchise history. The key to finding a way back to the real world and stopping the Digital World from total destruction at the hands of Machinedramons will lie in building strong bonds and providing effective training for each Digimon.

Digimon World: Next Order will be available digitally and at retail for the PlayStation 4 in the Americas early 2017.

Update: A representative from Bandai Namco clarified that Digimon World: New Order will not be released for PlayStation Vita in the West. The game will only be available for PlayStation 4. We have updated this post to reflect this information.
