KIRKLAND– March 3, 2010 – WeMade Entertainment today announced plans to launch the first-ever online Digimon game, Digimon Battle. The massively-multiplayer online game will bring the original animated TV Series, Seasons 1 - 4 (“Digimon Adventure,” “Digimon Adventure 02,” “Digimon Tamers”, and “Digimon Frontier”), to life online with real-time battles and an interactive world to explore. Players will take on the role of special Digimon Tamers, helping to protect the earth from evil Digimon by partnering with good Digimon and exploring the Digital World together. Fans can pre-register for the open beta today and download the Digimon Battle client and the Frontier’s Starter Kit starting March 10 from the official website: http://www.digimonbattle.com/.

In Digimon Battle, players select a Tamer character, Takato Matsuki, Henry Wong, Rika Nonaka, or Jeri Katou, and set off with their Digimon and human friends, helping their Digimon to progress in their Digivolution. Players and their Digimon level up by winning battles, and players can progress through several ranks of Tamer to achieve elite status. There are three types of Digimon Partners, and seven types of Captured Digimon for players to find and tame in the world. More information on the Digimon will be revealed soon!
