Plot[edit]
Players assume the role of either Takumi Aiba (相羽 タクミ Aiba Takumi?) or Ami Aiba (相羽 アミ Aiba Ami?), male and female Japanese amateur hackers. They receive a device called a Digimon Capture from a mysterious stranger in a chat room which allows them to capture and befriend Digimon, creatures who inhabit a next-generation version of the internet called Cyberspace Eden which users can physically enter. After traveling to the lowest levels of Eden, they are attacked by a data-based entity called an "Eater" who leaves their bodies half-digitized, and find that they can now freely travel between the real world and the virtual world via terminals. They are approached by a woman named Kyoko Kuremi, head of the Kuremi Detective Agency, who recruits them as part of their cyber division.[6]
Development[edit]
Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth was first announced for the PlayStation Vita in a December 2013 issue of Japanese V Jump magazine, although its projected release date was still more than a year away.[7] A teaser trailer was revealed near the end of the month on the official website,[8] with a release window of Spring 2015 slated in a later September 2014 issue of V Jump.[9] The game was developed by Media.Vision, and features character designs by Suzuhito Yasuda, known for his work on Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor and Durarara!!.[10]
In June 2015, Amazon Canada listed a North American version of Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth under the title "Digimon World: Cyber Sleuth" for the PlayStation 4, hinting for a release in the region.[11] Bandai Namco Games later confirmed English-language releases in North America[12] and Europe[2] for 2016, which would be a retail title for the PlayStation 4, and digital release for the PlayStation Vita.[12] An English trailer was showcased at the 2015 Tokyo Game Show,[13] with a final North American release date of February 2, 2016 announced the following month.[1] Pre-order DLC bonuses for the North American physical PlayStation 4 version include two Digimon exclusive to the Western release, in-game items, and costumes for Agumon and Gabumon while bonuses for the digital Vita version will include the same pre-order items with four PlayStation Vita themes.[1]
