Digimon’s best season officially returns in a glorious release fans waited 25 years to see
A darker Digimon chapter
First broadcast on Fuji TV in April 2001, Digimon Tamers took a different path from the earlier Digimon Adventure seasons. Its continuity is largely separate, though it shares concepts and creatures with the earlier series.
The story begins with children discovering that Digimon can live alongside them, then expands to a parallel world and a manmade program that becomes a sentient threat. The season is known for its darker themes and serialized storytelling.
Original version on Blu-ray
Discotek Media confirmed that the subbed Blu-ray will arrive on November 24, 2026, with pre-orders available through mediaOCD. A separate HD remaster and Blu-ray release of the English dub came out in August. The original Japanese version has dialogue and characterization differences, along with other changes made for the dub. It also features Kōji Wada’s opening song, “The Biggest Dreamer.”
Alysion expands the franchise
Digimon Alysion is a forthcoming mobile game based in the world of the Digimon Liberator promotional webtoon. Players will follow Kanata Hondo as she becomes a Tamer, with a story mode and new cards.
The game is also planned to include ranked matches and tournaments for competitive players. Pre-registration is open through the App Store and Google Play Store, and its tentative launch date is listed as December 23, 2026. The article also says the game is coming “in July,” which conflicts with the listed December 23, 2026 tentative launch date.
