For the first time ever in the series, explore the Digital World with two Digimon partners!

BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe is pleased to announce that DIGIMON WORLD: NEXT ORDER is now available for PlayStation®4. To celebrate this announcement, a launch trailer is now revealed!

DIGIMON WORLD: NEXT ORDER begins when players are sucked into the Digital World to discover it is under siege by Machinedramons. Rescued by two Digimon from impending doom, players must forge forward with their Digimon partners and journey through the Digital World to discover the origins of the Machinedramon scourge and find a way back to the real world.

Along the way, players will nurture and train their Digimon partners for battle as they progress through the game. DIGIMON WORLD: NEXT ORDER contains over 230 Digimon for players to meet, recruit, and interact with throughout their adventure. DIGIMON WORLD: NEXT ORDER will also give players the choice of playing as either a male or female protagonist and enable players to explore the Digital World with two Digimon partners for the first time in franchise history.

The key to finding a way back to the real world and stopping the Digital World from total destruction at the hands of Machinedramons will lie in building strong bonds and providing effective training for each Digimon. And the new evolution ExE-volution (ExE) will turn the fight to your advantage! 2 Digimon are able to merge and become a powerful Digimon, including the 12 new additional Digimon exclusively available in the PlayStation 4 version. This is really useful when you’re in danger! This special evolution can be used only once a day (in-game time), when a Digimon is knocked out, and a strong relationship with your Digimon partners is requested.

The new division will further accelerate Activision Blizzard’s global growth strategy by leveraging its iconic content and creating new ways for audiences to connect with the Company’s franchises and characters.

“Inspiring play, competition, and community underpins everything we do, and giving audiences new ways to experience our franchises is core to this commitment,” said Activision Blizzard Chief Executive Officer Bobby Kotick. “Under Tim’s leadership, we will elevate our consumer product offerings to the same level of exceptional quality as our games and transform the ways audiences connect with the characters they love in their everyday lives.”

The launch of the new Consumer Products division is another strategic pillar in Activision Blizzard’s expansion of the platforms through which it offers its compelling franchises to audiences, including interactive content, television and film, competitive gaming and mobile.

“Activision Blizzard is a global entertainment powerhouse, and its combination of iconic franchises and massive audience reach offers incredible opportunities for retailers and partners,” said Kilpin. “I’m excited to lead this newly-formed division and join Activision Blizzard’s already incredibly talented consumer products team in delivering powerful new partnerships and even more touchpoints to audiences.”

In his new role, Kilpin will lead the development of innovative consumer products to expand and deepen audience engagement with Activision Blizzard’s iconic franchises through long-term retail partnerships, high-quality products and all new consumer experiences. Activision Publishing, Blizzard Entertainment and King Digital’s talented consumer product teams will join Kilpin in the new division.

Most recently, Kilpin served as Mattel’s president and chief commercial officer, overseeing the company’s sales and marketing functions across all regions. Previously, he served as executive vice president for Mattel’s Boys and Girls Division, leading global brand strategy, marketing, product design and development, consumer products and content development for the company’s iconic brands, including Barbie, Hot Wheels and Monster High. Prior to that, Kilpin was executive vice president of franchise management for The Walt Disney Company, where he oversaw global cross-category franchise plans for Disney Princess, Winnie the Pooh, Mickey Mouse and Pixar properties.

Resident Evil 7: biohazard ‘Banned Footage’ DLC Trailer Released

If you’ve already enjoyed most of the frights that Resident Evil 7: biohazard has to offer then Capcom has a little something extra for you already if you happen to have the game for the PlayStation 4 as Banned Footage Vol. 1 has been released for that platform for $9.99. This DLC includes three separate modes to the main game and a bit of that has been focused on in the trailer below. “Nightmare,” where Sewer Gators cameraman Clancy must craft weapons and ammo to face off against hordes of enemies to survive until morning.

Also included is “Bedroom” where Clancy must figure out how to get out of a locked bedroom in the Baker family’s plantation and make his escape but beware – Marguerite Baker won’t be happy if she knows he’s up and out of bed. Along with both of these scenarios is an infinitely replayable extra game mode called “Ethan Must Die”, which is an extra tough mode that is separate from the events of the ore game.

Volume 2 of Banned Footage will be released on the PlayStation 4 on February 14th, with both volumes arriving on the Xbox One and PC on February 21st, and will cost $14.99. This pack offers new scenarios such as “21” and “Daughters.” Players will need to gamble with their own life in a deadly game of “21” with Lucas Baker and then dive deeper into the Baker family’s life before the tragic events of Resident Evil 7 biohazard in “Daughters.” An extra gameplay mode titled “Jack’s 55th Birthday” provides a race against the clock as players serve up the Daddy of the family, Jack Baker, with tons of treats for his special celebration.
