Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth story is set in the near future and follows a teenager named Aiba, whose following rumours of hackers. Aiba’s life between the real and digital worlds converge after receiving a device called Digimon Capture from a hacker in a chatroom online (who uses those anymore?).

Sometime (hopefully Winter) in 2016, you will embark on an epic cyberspace adventure with your Digimon partner, set in the future, in order to uncover the case of a mysterious digital hacker.

If you are a Digimon fan who has been waiting for a PS4/Vita System seller, I think you just found it!
