The Digimon franchise, which started its journey back in 1997, is currently experiencing an incredible rise. Although the series has always had millions of fans, it turned out that in 2026 their number and financial support reached a historical maximum.
Bandai Namco's record figures
Bandai Namco shared the results of the last financial year, and the statistics for the Digimon intellectual property turned out to be truly impressive. For the first time in the entire history of the series, profits broke the record that had stood since 2000 — the times of the immense popularity of the anime adaptation.
What was the key to success?
Bandai Namco confirmed that new heights were achieved thanks to a combination of several factors:
- The release of the new game Digimon Story: Time Stranger on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 this summer.
- The steady popularity of the Digimon collectible card game.
Even more content awaits fans ahead, as a massive DLC is already being prepared for the game. It seems the future of the franchise looks brighter than ever!
