Earlier this month CDC Games announced plans to bring its massively multiplayer online role-playing game, Digimon RPG, to North America, and a sequel, Digimon RPG2, to the People's Republic of China and Korea.

The Digimon RPG is based on various Japanese Digimon television shows – namely Digimon Adventure (02), Digimon Tamers and Digimon Frontier- whereas its sequel will be based on the upcoming show, Digimon Savers.

"This is the first massively multiplayer online game based on the Digimon world," said Jeffrey Longoria, president of CDC Games International.

"With one of the most widely recognized names around the world, this family-friendly game is targeted at the millions of Digimon fans who have enjoyed the last 10 years watching the worldwide syndicated cartoons, have played more than a dozen different Digimon console and handheld video game titles, and enjoyed the world-wide phenomenon of the popular collectible card game.

Now for the first time, Digimon fans along with their favorite friends from all over North America, can interact with this amazing world and each other in a whole new exciting way.”
