The game has confirmed 24 Digimon with new pixel-art designs across the roster \u2014 a mix of fan favourites spanning multiple generations of the franchise, from the original Digimon Adventure crew to later series. Agumon, Gabumon, Guilmon, Veemon, Renamon, Terriermon, and Gatomon are all in, alongside less-expected picks like Bakemon, Numemon, and Gekkomon.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/digimon-up-gabumon-training.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Gabumon training scene in Digimon UP pixel art style\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Bandai Namco Entertainment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Raise from Digi Egg All the Way to Mega<\/h2>\n<p>The core loop follows the original Digimon virtual-pet spirit: your Partner hatches from a Digi Egg and you feed it, train it, and keep it fighting through Digivolution stages \u2014 In-Training, Rookie, Champion, Ultimate, and finally Mega. Feeding uses Digi-Meat, which gives random stat boosts, while each training activity targets specific attributes. The game also has a Support Digimon system that layers additional fan-favourite creatures alongside your main Partner without replacing them, giving you more flexibility in how you build your team.<\/p>\n<p>Equippable skill cards add another dimension to battles, and the game references integration with physical Digivice devices and the Digimon Trading Card Game \u2014 though the specifics of how those mechanics work in-game have not yet been detailed by Bandai Namco.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/digimon-up-combat.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Digimon UP combat sequence with pixel art Digimon battling\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Bandai Namco Entertainment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Pre-Registration Milestone Means Free Tai and Agumon<\/h2>\n<p>The community crossed the 1,000,000 pre-registration mark before launch, which unlocks the top reward tier.
