Collect virtual pets in a virtual world.

WeMade Entertainment will open the Digimon MMO to a US audience next month.

Open beta details and exact launch timings will be announced soon, according to the the Digimon Battle Twitter account.

Digimon Battle is the Western revamp of Digimon RPG, a free-to-play Korean MMO that has been around since 2002, according to our extensive research on Wikipedia. You'll play a Digimon trainer and collect and train cyber-pets to fight baddies for you.

There's a newly released official trailer on YouTube to watch and a vibrant and not at all annoying teaser website to explore. You can also keep track of the game on Facebook.

    Nintendo have missed a real trick not doing a similar Pokemon game, the sooner they embrace online play properly the better for everyone

    @Inso Aye ever since the red/blue era many fanbased projects dreamed of bringing the Pokemon title online, personal fav was POL, were they though up the gyms as being 'guilds' for the game... shame Nintendo just crush all ideas with the IP and just throw a handful on 'new' Pokemon to a game along with the leastest 'gimmik' for the lestest Gameboy/DS making it almost manditory to upgrade.

    It's shocked me that with Neopets being THAT big over here for what seems like forever now, it's taken Digital Devil Saga and Digimon to take this long to be brought overseas, hope unlike DDS this one at least isn't completely 'pve'.

    Hopefully this will give them the kick up the ass they need to do that and hopefully they'll bring out a Pokémon (yay! I put a squiggle on my letter 'e') game for the Wii... I doubt it though. They seem happy with it on the DS (where I have to admit it's a good fit).
