This year's anime expo is brought us lots of new digimon news before upcoming DigiFest this month.
We were very fortunate to be able to attend the panel Habu Kazumasa and Yosuke Kinoshita san(Producer for the upcoming digimon film). Was one of the first ones to witness the first look of the upcoming digimon adventure movie, as well as the announcement of its title: Digimon adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna(bond) before the world announcement.

The trailer starts with Agumon and Taichi walking on what it looks to be Odaiba Seaside park with the view of Rainbow bridge in the background. It'a their last adventure together. Taichi on a bridge staring somewhere with his goggle. And what it seems like smart phone that he's holding (This is a details they cant enclose yet) and a countdown clock on the digivice.
The movie will premiere in the US Spring 2020, could be same time as Japan.
After the trainer they displayed a refine line up of the 8 chosen children with their age lable under neath.
The design is semi similar to precious vjump design with some changes and cleaner and brighter colour design. (It looks amazing!)
Some of the clothing design were revised, such as Sora is not in kimono, don't recall seeing a star on Taichi's shirt.
The trailer looks promising. The film will focus on the young adult life of Taichi and co.

On the game side of the panel:
Cyber sleuth complete edition will be available on Nintendo Switch and PC on Oct. 18th, 2019.
Digimon survive is now delayed to 2020.
They showed a fully animated opening movie for Digimon Survive. Starts with introducing our protagonist Takuma and his classmates getting ready to go camping in the woods, where strange earth quake happened the morning of report on the news. On their way out of school, Takuma looks up his school building, hears or could be remembering someone singing the song (the opening music of this fame) in their classroom looks to be some kind of ghost form of a girl petting the head of a boy sleeping on the desk.
They answer some fan questions that was submitted prior to the panel:
- This world in digimon survive is completely different than real world and digital world. What this world Is still a mystery. The kids will face many real life problems to survive in that world.
- Raising digimon and their evolution in the Survive game depends on your bond with digimon and how you raise it. Instead of only focus on their stats.
- Habu san once again talked about his talk and inspiration with Kakudou san, and Digimon existed since ancient times.
- Yes there's going to be a sequel of digimon story game, however they can't talk about it at the moment. It won't be a cyber sleuth sequel. It will take place between the digital world and real world.
