Digimon World: Dawn is one of two complementary titles in the Digimon Story series, released alongside its counterpart, Digimon World: Dusk. This installment transports players into the vibrant Digital World, offering thrilling RPG gameplay with extensive Digimon customization.
Story
The tale begins in the Sunshine district, home to the Light Fang team, where players assume the role of a rookie Digimon Tamer. A mysterious virus suddenly strikes, causing an earthquake that disrupts vital access points to the Digital World and reduces countless Digimon to their Digi-Egg forms. The Light Fang believes their rivals—Night Crow from the Darkmoon district—may be responsible, sparking a clash between the two teams.
As a Tamer, you’ll uncover the source of the chaos, restore balance, and lead your Digimon companions to victory. With parallel storylines interwoven between Dawn and Dusk, players can choose to experience the perspective of either team, adding depth and replayability for dedicated fans.
