Big Digimon news coming from Bandai Namco next month

Digimon fans should keep their eyes peeled for exciting new news about the monster-catching franchise. Publisher Bandai Namco has stated that "Something big is coming," with the news expected to drop in next month's issue of Japanese magazine V-Jump.

That's literally it. No further hints as to whether this news will relate to a new game, series or movie. Hey, maybe Digimon is getting its own CGI/live-action film, ala Sonic the Hedgehog and Pokemon: Detective Pikachu. Okay, realistically, it probably isn't going to be that. But hopefully it'll be something to get the Digimon community all in a tizzy.

Digimon never really entered my sphere of reference, coming way after my time, but I definitely recall the TV show's ear-worm of a theme tune, as well as a description once told to me regarding the difference between Digimon and Pokemon, where I was told "Pokemon are your slaves, but Digimon are your friends." Seems legit?
